Psychological theories for the effects of early childhood experience on later development.

 

  1. Using the Childhood Survivors of the Holocaust case study, explain and analyze the effects of the orphans’ early experience on their later development with reference to at least two psychological theories -cognitive, psychodynamic, and humanist e.g
  • Erik Erikson’s – life stage theory (i.e. the five stages up to 18 years)
  • Lev Vygotsky’s – socio-cultural approach to internal cognitive development
  • Abraham Maslow’s – hierarchy of needs theory where one category of need has to be met before the next can be fully achieved
  • Carl Rogers’s – theory of the self
  • For ‘later development’, you may want to consider: self-esteem, cognitive capacities, and the ability to form close relationships, and achievement in the work place

Compare life for African Americans in the South during Reconstruction to life for Native Americans during Westward Expansion (ch. 15, Document 15-5 & 15-6). How were their situations similar? How did their situations differ?

How were African Americans affected by the westward expansion?
The westward expansion carried slavery down into the Southwest, into Mississippi, Alabama, and crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana. Finally, by the 1840s, it was pouring into Texas. So the expansion of slavery, which became the major political question of the 1850s, was not just a political issue.
What was life like for African Americans during Reconstruction in the South?
In the Reconstruction period following the Civil War, newly freed African Americans faced monumental challenges to establish their own households, farm their own lands, establish community institutions and churches, and to pursue equal justice under the law in a period of racist violence.

Discussion question: Racial diversity- are physical differences between people. “Race” is usually associated with biology and linked with physical characteristics such as skin color or hair texture.

We speak of ethnicity when referring to a group of people with a shared cultural, linguistic, national, or religious heritage.

There are hundreds of ethnic groups in the world today.

 

3 cultural factors that I can share are, I was raised catholic, my parents immigrated from Spain and Mexico, and I was raised and influenced more from my dad’s Spanish culture side.

Both my parents first language is Spanish, and I would say mine was too, but I attended pre-school at an early age of 2 and my primary language became English.

Spain believes in the pope therefore the catholic religion was exercised in the household. We ate a lot of “fish “meals, ate a lot of egg, potatoes and bread. This was eaten a lot in Spain. Again, I was raised more with Spanish traits and customs in which I truly appreciate.

Workplace counseling services

/0 Comments/in /by

I have some sympathy for this position as counselors in the workplace can find themselves facing very complex dilemmas. Even in established workplace counseling services, some counselors have difficulty accepting the authority of a manager, or even understanding the role of a manager; they seem unable to see their own roles as anything more than that of being a counselor, even though they are part of an organization.

This occurs whether or not the manager is a counselor; indeed, sometimes managers who are counselors may have an even more difficult task trying to manage other counselors and may find themselves trying to prove their counselling ability, knowledge and credibility. The work milieu can be both judgemental and competitive – quite contrary to the climate that most counselors look to work in. Nonetheless, they are subject to all of the vicissitudes, demands and pressures of an organization, like any other employee. Unfortunately, some counselors forget their own position in an organization because of their necessary focus on individuals and take on the role of ‘saving’ employees from the ‘dreadful’ organization, despite being themselves employees in that organization.

 

Can you summarize this passage into bullet points?
And why is it unfortunate that some counsellors forget their place in the organization because of the necessary focus on the individual and take on the role of “rescuing” employees from the “dreaded” organization?
