I. Introduction The cholera outbreak in Haiti has claimed the lives of over 7,000 Haitians and has sickened over 470,000 since the 2010 earthquake.1 An effective program that Haiti should consider is using a mass vaccination of a new and inexpensive oral cholera vaccine called Shanchol, which has been successful in Odisha, India.2 II. Body of Paper A. The emergence of cholera in Haiti was initiated by a number of existing problems. There where two national disasters that struck Haiti between 2010 and 2012 that where instrumental to starting the cholera outbreak. The first was the 2010 earthquake that rocked the small island nation. On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake struck the region of Port-au-Prince Haiti.3 This disaster claimed the…

overall quality of life of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, but there was not as large of a difference compared to the control group as they hypothesized (Lanning et al., 2014).

(2012) did a pilot study to evaluate the effects of equine therapy on self-regulation behaviors, adaptive skills, and motor skills of school age children to adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This study had 42 participants that were split up into groups of three to four to…
I believe that Mr. Rachels would agree with my argument above. In his article titled “Active and Passive Euthanasia,” he explains two scenarios; a case involving a patient with incurable throat cancer, and another involving a baby with Down’s syndrome and a easily treatable intestinal blockage. Though these arguments cover a wide range of cases, they don’t appear to apply to Ms. Reese’s case. Throughout James Rachels’ discussion of the morality of active versus passive euthanasia, he fails to…

There were a lot that I learned through the sessions. I am not completely sure which theoretical model I will be engaging yet, but the humanistic approach is preferred. I like both existential and person center therapy. Humanistic theories and Carl Roger attracted most of my attention when I learned about them in my undergraduate courses; I knew this would be the theory that I want to pursue. After learning about various humanistic therapies, existential therapy and person center therapy are the…
in several studies to the outcome of therapy sessions. The strong the alliance or relationship between the therapist and client the more successful or positive the results of therapy will be for the client (Falkenstrom, Granstrom, &, Holmqvist, 2013),(Whinston,Rossier, & Baron, 2016)(Sackett & Lawson, 2014). What more important is the client’s perception or measure of the strength of the alliance. If the client perceives or feels less bonded to the goals, tasks, or the therapist then the therapy…

For instance, Pantalone, Iwamasa, Martell (2010), stated that multicultural therapy and CBT are easily adaptable because these two approaches are based on the idea that case conceptualization must be individualized. Also, Hays and Iwamasa (2006), in their book, identified and explained the most significant factors (spirituality, political history, racism, family…
