What the word teacher means to me is so much more. I view teachers as a modern day super hero, if you will. They not only teach students in a classroom but they are also the voice for those that do not know how to speak for themselves. Teachers are the ones that give hope to those that may not have or never have…

Part I – Vignette/DSM V Diagnosis based on Symptomatology It appears that the most appropriate diagnosis for John is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is a fact that he is a combat veteran. He won’t discuss his experiences of his tour of duty in Afghanistan. However, it is reasonable to assume - always a risky thing to do - that his experiences were indeed traumatic.

I chose to to my training through the California website for Pre/Post Licensed professionals. This was an extremely interesting training as it provided much more information than the usual trainings. In addition to teaching about when to report, how to report, and what to report, the…

End of Semester Paper As I read my previous paper on goals for the semester in terms of development as a therapist, I would like to highlight two main goals: learning how to work better with teenagers and younger children. Working with teenagers is unique. It is a distinct population when compared to adult/elder and younger children. Teenagers explore the world and try new things. As they desire independence, some may be discouraged because they grew up in a dysfunctional family with lack of…
