Normal family

Along my journey, I encountered the following distributions; Normal, Exponential and Gamma. Additional continuous distributions are Weibull, Lognormal, and Beta. Normal Distribution (ND) is the first discovered landmark. ND is the most common distribution with regard to the central limit theorem which defines the averages of the variables from independent distributions…

In the world there are many labeled groups of people, normal should not be one of them. Unfortunately, cultures still strive to create a “normal”, which can affect how we feel about our minds, our bodies, what we own, and other people around us. That can also tie into how psychology and culture are too reliant on society to define the word normal. In this case, the “emotional and behavioral characteristics of an individual, group, or activity” not the “science that deals with mental processes…

period and places being discussed. Different cultures, time periods, and the 107 billion people that have ever lived have shaped and molded “gender roles” to their liking but, the whole discussion can be boiled down to one thing and that’s the idea of normal. Normality is defined as a state of being typical, used or expected. In essence this is what gender roles are. The are expected…

life as completely as I could. I figured out that the petty things of life, like the way I look, how much I weigh, how smart I am, mean nothing. I learned that what matters and what I should consider most important are my health, my safety, and my family. These realizations have made me a better daughter, friend, and person in general. I have built myself into a sedulous and caring student. Everyday is an opportunity to develop even more and to work hard and appreciate what I can do and forgive…

behavioral therapy. In fact, Lovaas (1987) indicated after the parent training that not all parents could be effective due to reasons such as divorce, personal interest, the mother needs a job, and more. Thereby, Schopler et al. (1989) suspected that families in the control group might not be as motivated and engaged compared to the parents in experimental group since they joined late in the treatment with all the possible factors mentioned above would limit the capability of those parents to…

The aim of CBT is essentially to help a person rewire their brain. Before sessions with a doctor, patients can interpret simple situations and take them for a run. For example a person out in the normal world whose friends may not respond right away, they would just brush it off. But for others who live in the world of depression, they see everything negative. Hate, loneliness, confusion and endless questions to self as to why your friends won't…

By now our family and part of the church knew about our situation. I had tried so hard to keep it private because it just hurt too bad for others to know. My pain was deep and I wanted it left alone. When I shared with some close people in my life the MRI found…

her sadness was due to the frustrations she was experiencing because deep down she knew she was not acting the way a mother was supposed to act towards her child. The young mother’s son is affected by all this because he never really establishes a normal relationship with the woman who gave birth to him. At the beginning of the story he is constantly looking for his mother’s approval and love, but is constantly rejected by her. This further added to her confusion and caused her to seek…

An outlier is one who is outside the normal, and defies the odds. I believe that Julia Blackwell meets the criteria of being successful outlier. In her life so far she has been accepted into private school, found her passion, been chosen to represent the Maine council of Girl Scouts at the national convention, been accepted into Colgate College, and has been chosen to represent Maine at the United States Senate Youth Program. Julia is a senior at North Yarmouth Academy, and she is from Woolwich,…

Speechie is an 8 year 8 month old female. She was referred to ENMU SHROC by a family friend. Her mother, Suzie Speechie completed a case history form. Sallie’s parents and teachers are concerned that she is falling behind academically and socially, so an appointment was requested. Her mother reported that there were no remarkable concerns during her pregnancy with Sallie. Sallie’s developmental milestones are all within normal limits. Sallie’s mother reported that when Sallie was a toddler,…
