It is recommended that students review the e-book The Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner (Jongsma, Peterson, & Bruce, 2014) for additional assistance in completing this assignment.

Clinical and counseling psychologists utilize treatment plans to document a client’s progress toward short- and long-term goals. The content within psychological treatment plans varies depending on the clinical setting. The clinician’s theoretical orientation, evidenced-based practices, and the client’s needs are taken into account when developing and implementing a treatment plan. Typically, the client’s presenting problem(s), behaviorally defined symptom(s), goals, objectives, and interventions determined by the clinician are included within a treatment plan.

To understand the treatment planning process, students will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the same case study utilized for the Psychiatric Diagnosis assignment in PSY645. A minimum of five peer-reviewed resources must be used to support the recommendations made within the plan. The Psychological Treatment Plan must include the headings and content outlined below.

Behaviorally Defined Symptoms

• Define the client’s presenting problem(s) and provide a diagnostic impression.
• Identify how the problem(s) is/are evidenced in the client’s behavior.
• List the client’s cognitive and behavioral symptoms.

Long-Term Goal

• Generate a long-term treatment goal that represents the desired outcome for the client.
  • This goal should be broad and does not need to be measureable.

Short-Term Objectives

• Generate a minimum of three short-term objectives for attaining the long-term goal.
  • Each objective should be stated in behaviorally measureable language. Subjective or vague objectives are not acceptable. For example, it should be stated that the objective will be accomplished by a specific date or that a specific symptom will be reduced by a certain percentage.

Interventions

• Identify at least one intervention for achieving each of the short-term objectives.
• Compare a minimum of three evidence-based theoretical orientations from which appropriate interventions can be selected for the client.
• Explain the connection between the theoretical orientation and corresponding intervention selected.
• Provide a rationale for the integration of multiple theoretical orientations within this treatment plan.
• Identify two to three treatment modalities (e.g., individual, couple, family, group, etc.) that would be appropriate for use with the client.

It is a best practice to include outside providers (e.g., psychiatrists, medical doctors, nutritionists, social workers, holistic practitioners, etc.) in the intervention planning process to build a support network that will assist the client in the achievement of treatment goals.

Evaluation

• List the anticipated outcomes of each proposed treatment intervention based on scholarly literature.
  • Be sure to take into account the individual’s strengths, weaknesses, external stressors, and cultural factors (e.g., gender, age, disability, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, etc.) in the evaluation.
• Provide an assessment of the efficacy of evidence-based intervention options.

Ethics

• Analyze and describe potential ethical dilemmas that may arise while implementing this treatment plan.
• Cite specific ethical principles and any applicable law(s) for resolving the ethical dilemma(s).

The Psychological Treatment Plan

• Must be 8 to 10 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
• Must include a separate title page with the following:
  • Title of paper
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Must use at least five peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text.
• Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Project Details: Applications of Linear, Constant Coefficient Systems of ODEs and Their Phase Portraits MATH527 Fall 2018 For the project this semester, you will choose a physical, biological, economic, or social system that can be modeled by a linear, constant coefficient 2-by-2 system of differential equations. Your project will have two main pieces: • Analysis of a single differential equation – either a (1) single first-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients OR (2) a single second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients. • Analysis of a system of differential equations – linear, constant coefficient 2-by-2 system of differential equations. Most applications are of the first type: when one unknown quantity is considered, the model is a single first-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients; when that quantity interacts with another quantity, the model is a 2-by-2 linear, constant coefficient 2-by-2 system of differential equations. Examples include: • Pond or Lake Pollution • Home Heating • Drug delivery/diffusion (Compartmental Model) • Pesticide in Trees and Soil • Price-Inventory • Chemical Reactions • Any other that fits the above description exactly. You can use this chapter of a differential equations text by G.B. Gustafson from the University of Utah to get descriptions and details of some of these systems: www.math.utah.edu/~gustafso/2250systems-de. pdf Some applications are of the second type: the model is a single second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients. It can be analyzed as such with the methods of Lebl Chapter 2. However, the second-order equation can be converted to a 2-by-2 system and analyzed with the methods of Lebl Chapter 3. Examples include: • Spring-mass systems (used in sample project; cannot be chosen for project) • LRC Circuits • Any other that fits the above description exactly. 1. Outline of Project Write-up (1) Introduction (2) Single Equation (a) Derivation of equation and meaning of parameters (include units) (b) Meaning and Relevance of Homogeneous vs Non-Homogenous (c) General Solution (d) An Initial Value Problem and a Particular Solution (Typically Non-Homogeneous) (e) Behavior: Discuss solution in the language of the application (3) System of ODEs (a) Derivation of equation and meaning of parameters (including units) (b) Meaning and Relevance of Homogeneous vs Non-Homogenous (c) Homogenous System (i) Pick two sets of values for parameters that will give two of the three possibilities for eigenvalues: (1) distinct, real; (2) complex conjugate pair; (3) repeated (or multiple) eigenvalues (I suggest using computational aids for this.) (ii) For each of the two situations: (A) Discuss how realistic the parameter values are. (At least one set of values should be realistic.)

Dates • Tues. Nov 6th: Your chosen application must be reported to your TA. (Also, you should vote.) • Tues. Nov. 13th: TAs will address some questions about the project. • Tues. Nov. 27th: Project is due in recitation. 3. Comments • A sample project, using the spring-mass system, will be posted. It will include examples of the inputs for 3 d (ii) and (iii). • All work for finding solutions should be put in a neat, hand-written appendix. • Phase plots may be neatly hand-drawn or copied and pasted from a computer plotting tool. • Discussions should be typed, and manageable mathematical symbols should be typed. However, long or complicated mathematical expressions can be hand-written. • The responses for many parts listed in the outline should be brief. A sentence or two will suffice for many pieces. Derivations in 2 (a) and 3 (a) should be a short paragraph. Descriptions of the behavior of solutions in the language of your application (2(e), 3 c (ii) (D), 3 d (iv)) should be your longest written sections, but still do not need to be longer than 4-5 sentence paragraphs. • Derivations and realistic values for parameters should be cited. • For 3 c (i), you may want to use a computational phase portrait creator, like those found at http:// mathlets.org/mathlets/linear-phase-portraits-matrix-entry/ and http://parasolarchives. com/tools/phaseportrait. You can try different parameters and see the phase portraits associated with them to choose your two sets of parameters. • I use the phrase ‘meaningfully different’ in a couple of places. What I mean, for example, is not to choose initial conditions (0, 1) and (0, 1.1). The behaviors will be nearly identical. Choose (0, 1) and (−1, 0) or (1, 10) and (10, 1). It will depend on your system, but there should be something interesting to say about the behavior for the two ‘meaningully different’ choices.

Part 1 Tasks (Objectives from Phases 1–4): My Personal Customer Profile.

Using the information that you have researched about your own buying behavior during Phases 1–4, it is time to create your personal customer profile.For this Key Assignment draft, you are compiling all of your ideas related to social, group, and anthropological views of consumer behavior and the influences and effects of social class, family structure, cultural background, and group identification. You are also considering how technology, the economy, and political factors influence your consumer behaviors, create customer retention, and help you understand your own consumer behavior.

The profile is designed to explain your personal buying habits and behaviors—essentially why you buy.

Your customer profile will include the following sections:

• Explain 1 cultural influence that affected the purchases.
• An analysis of your buying attitude and its influence on your consumer buying decisions
• Click here for additional information on consumer attitudes (link located in references)

Choose 1 of the buying attitudes below and explain why you buy. Include an example of a product or service that matches this buyer attitude and purchasing behavior. (my choices are highlighted).

• Utilitarian: Individuals with this attitude buy based on the amount of pain or pleasure that it brings.
• Value-Expressive: Individuals with this attitude buy based on how the product affects their social identity.
• Ego-Defensive: Individuals with this attitude believe that a certain product or service may compromise their self-image.
• Knowledge: Individuals with this attitude examine facts and real-world situations when buying a product.

Section 2: What Speaks to Me? My Communication Style

This section examines your personal communication style and how it affects your buying choices. This section will also include what type of advertising messages and appeal influence your purchase decisions.

Section 2 should include the following:
