It can establish rapport between patient and therapist, further the therapeutic alliance, alleviate anxiety, provide reassurance, and facilitate the flow of information necessary for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.”—Pamela Bjorklund, clinical psychologistWhether you are treating patients for physical ailments or clients for mental health issues, the assessment process is an inextricable part of health care. To properly diagnose clients and develop treatment plans, you must have a strong foundation in assessment. This includes a working knowledge of assessments that are available to aid in diagnosis, how to use these assessments, and how to select the most appropriate assessment based on a client’s presentation.This week, as you explore assessment and diagnosis in psychotherapy, you examine assessment tools, including their psychometric properties and appropriate use. You also develop diagnoses for clients receiving psychotherapy and consider legal and ethical implications of counseling these clients.Photo Credit: [Wavebreakmedia Ltd]/[Wavebreak Media / Getty Images Plus]/Getty ImagesLearning ResourcesRequired ReadingsWheeler, K.

ENG 102Research Essay WatchmenFor your final paper in ENG 102, you will write a research paper answering a simple question: In a 1952 ruling, Supreme Court JusticeLearned Hand gave a simple definition of the superhero.Hand, in writing of Superman and Wonderman, claimed the superhero “at times conceals his strength beneath ordinary clothing but after removing his cloak stands revealed in full panoply in a skintight acrobatic costume.”Hand further noted that the superhero uses his “sufficient strength” as “the champion of the oppressed,” “battling evils and injustice.”Hand’s definition can be simplified to include only four major aspects: a selfless, pro-social mission; powers; costume; and identity.If Alan Moore’s Watchmen is a story of superheroes, given Learned Hand’s definition or other definitions of the heroic, who, by the end, is the story’s hero?The structure: Hopefully, by this point in your education, the structure of this kind of paper is obvious.You will need to have a thesis statement that answers the question posed, and you will need specific and clear ideas that supportthe thesis and explain how it works. The Research: You will need absolutely no fewer than three secondary sources.Watchmenis not a secondary source; it is the primary source.At least one of these secondary sources must be specifically about the Watchmen.You may findcriticism of the book through the college library’s databases or by searching the stacks (if you get stuck, the librarian Tiger Swan knows all the research on graphic novels and will be glad to help you).To make things easier foryou, I’ve done a lot of this research for you and posted some of the researchon Blackboard.The other research can be just about anything you need to prove your thesis.You may use sources from political science or from philosophy or you may want to look up something like Joseph Campbell’s writing on herostories..The only rule is that you must explain why the author of your quote has the right to comment on the topic.For any author I have given you on Blackboard, you can simply call the author “critic.”For example: In Alan Moore’s America: The Liberal Individual and American Identities, the critic Michael J. Prince states, “While all of the characters in Watchmen exhibit some agency panic, most of them are possessed by a personally driven vigilantism that manifests the autonomy and purposeful action attributed to the liberal individual.”The RulesYou will need to cite your sources using MLA citations.You will need to print and hand in a hardcopy of your paper.Email submissions willnot be read.A student who emails instead of submitting a hard copy WILL FAIL THECOURSEAny instance of plagiarism (here defined as using sentences or parts of sentences without identifying the sourceor using ideas with acknowledgement of where theycame from) WILL FAIL THE COURSE. The paper is due the day of the scheduled final (or earlier).If you plan to sit for the FINAL EXAM, you must tell me before the end of the semester.
