Assignment: Diagnosis: The Burden of Stigma in Help Seeking

The threat of public stigma, as well as self-stigma, can prevent individuals from receiving the mental health treatment they need. In this Assignment, you analyze the influence of stigma on experiences with and treatment of mental illness.

To prepare: Watch the TED Talk by Sangu Delle and then review the readings for this week. https://www.ted.com/talks/sangu_delle_there_s_no_shame_in_taking_care_of_your_mental_health/transcript

Focus on Delle’s examples illustrating Corrigan’s model about the stages of stigma and the hierarchy of disclosure. Consider Delle’s experience against that model.

By Day 7

Submit 3 pages that addresses the following:

  • Briefly explain Corrigan’s model of the stages of stigma and his recommendations and hierarchy about recovery.
  • Explain whether Delle’s experience follows that model. Use specific examples to argue your perspective. If you agree, identify which stage of recovery Delle is in.
  • Analyze Delle’s reports about his own experiences with both types of stigma. Provide specific examples, and in your analysis consider the following questions:
    • Does one type of stigma predominate in his talk?
    • Which of Delle’s personal values or beliefs were challenged by his internalizations about his own illness and help-seeking?
    • What strengths does he exhibit?
    • What was the primary benefit of his diagnosis?
    • Do you think his experience would be different if his culture was different? Explain why or why not?

 

GENDER AND SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT

/in /by

GENDER AND SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT

From your textbook and any other readings on sexual development, briefly discuss both biological and social contributions to the development of sexual identity and development.  Be sure your discussion includes both biological and social aspects of development across the lifespan.  Include  both same-sex and opposite sex identities in your discussion.

Then, provide at least one scripture that supports or forbids same-sex behavior.  It is important to distinguish between attraction and behavior in this part of the discussion.  Do you believe it is a sin to be attracted (tempted) to a person of the same-sex?  Do you believe it is a sin to act on that temptation by practicing homosexual behavior?  Do you believe the attraction is a product of “ nature” (biological) or “nurture” (social) or both?

Note, do not simply discuss what you “think” or “feel”.  Rather give valid bases for your answers.  These can include both scripture and scientific bases.  Just be sure to think critically regarding your sources and the application to your position.

MORAL DEVELOPMENT

Briefly discuss the similarities and differences between Kohlberg’s and Fowler’s stages of moral development.  You may need to go outside your textbook for more information (be sure to cite your sources and include the full reference at the bottom).  Do you believe moral development can be explained in stages such as these?  If so, why?  If not, offer an alternative explanation to moral development across the lifespan.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT (ATTACHMENT STYLES)

Briefly discuss each of the four Adult Attachment Styles in your textbook (see table 14.1 in Sigelman & Rider 2018, 9th ed.).  You could also use additional sources to consider infant as well as adult attachment styles.  Which one do you think would be fit you and why?  If you prefer not to use yourself as an example, choose any one of the styles and give a hypothetical example of how that interaction might look in “real life”.

FAMILY INFLUENCES AND HUMAN DIFFERENCES

Every person is like every other person.

Every person is like some other person.

Every person is like no other person.

(Adapted from Kluckhohn & Murray, 1948, p. 35)

Take a few moments to consider this poem.  Based on what you have learned in the study of human development across the lifespan, and especially focusing on parenting styles and family issues, how would you apply the three sentiments in the poem to young adult and adult development?  In what ways are each of these lines true of all humans?  How might we use and understanding of these ideas to both improve the development of humans (e.g. child development programs, parent training, etc.), as well as to understand why people are the way they are?  What might this teach us about perspectives of others in regards to race, personality, behaviors, and other differences from a human development perspective?

END OF LIFE ISSUES

Review Kubler-Ross’s stages of dying.  How might these same or similar stages be experienced by grieving loved ones after a person’s death?  Do you think grief can be understood in the context of “stages”?  Why or why not?

How would you use your understanding of lifespan development issues to help comfort those who have lost loved ones, or someone who is nearing death?

Include in your discussion how a view of God and eternity might affect how a person grieves, including different views of hope and hopelessness.

LIFE APPLICATION

Identify one or more primary concepts of development from this course that you believe could most contribute to your development in your career, parenting, self-awareness, and/or life goals.  In what ways might you use the concepts you have learned in this course to help others with their life goals or struggles?  In other words, what have you learned from this course, and how will you apply it to your life and career?

(Note – this Db does NOT require replies to other students and will be graded only on the initial content.  Replies to other student are encouraged, however.  It also does not require the use of sources, however if you do reference specific information from a source, it should be cited,)

Case Study: Sandra Sandra, a 28-year-old female, seeks treatment for issues of depression. After three sessions, she reports that she was sexually abused from ages 4 to 9 by an uncle, after which she experienced two date/acquaintance rapes her senior year in high school. Sandra states that she told her mother, who accused her of making up stories and demanded she not say another word. She also reported an older female cousin had “played doctor” with her on several occasions, including examining her private parts with a “tube” and checking her tonsils with her tongue. Sandra states she spent most of her time drunk from ages 18 to 22 and slept with many men during this time period. She states she often thought of suicide during this time period, although she only had one real attempt in which she tried to drive her car into a lake but blew out a tire before reaching the water. Sandra states she has very few friends and no longer talks with anyone in her family. She reports not being able to keep a boyfriend and believes that the few friends she does have talk about her behind her back. Sandra reports not drinking for the last few years and is determined not to drink again due to her raising her 2-year-old child. She states that she wants to be a good mother. The father is “out of the picture,” so Sandra is raising her child on her own.

Constructivists suggest that a person’s reality is unique from others. Thus, this unique reality affects what and how effective knowledge is acquired, and is affected by numerous variables such as culture, past experiences, and past knowledge.

Consider the following:

  • Constructivists suggest that a person’s reality is unique from others. Thus, this unique reality affects what and how effective knowledge is acquired, and is affected by numerous variables such as culture, past experiences, and past knowledge.
  • Humanism posits a purposefully person-centered approach to learning that includes personal growth, focus on self-development, and personal needs.

Include the following:

Explain why logical positivism would not be a supporter for constructivist-based theories? Do you agree or disagree?

  • Hint: Can we “see” mental constructions?
  • Compare how exogenous constructivism, endogenous constructivism, and dialectical constructivism differ, and why it matters.
  • Analyze how situated cognition (discussed in Week 3) supports the suggestions made by constructivism?
  • Discuss a personal experience in which constructivism ideologies explained either the effectiveness of, or the non-effectiveness of, the learning experience.
    • Would you consider this learning experience exploratory learning, inquiry learning, or problem-based learning? Why?
  • Identify the implications in learning effectiveness that might exist if construction of individualized knowledge is negated.
