With Narrative Therapy focus is placed on the language used to construct our realities. Understanding our truth is important, just as understanding that our truth, or reality, is unique and may or may not align with someone else’s. Focus is placed on the effects of the problem and not the cause. Constructing narratives and deconstructing narratives are commonplace in this type of therapy.
DISCUSSION: Thinking of what you have learned so far, how could you implement aspects of Narrative Therapy in this current case as a Mental Health Therapist ?
Narrative Therapy Hypothetical Case:The case of Jamie Sanders-11-year-old female-Mother: Janet; Father: Lewis / Sister: Jana (16)-6th grade at local public school;A/B student whose grades have recently began dropping-Prior diagnosis of ADHD at the age of 9-Medical Diagnosis: Juvenile Diabetes-Chief Complaint: Reluctantly, Jamie presents to therapy after she was encouraged to attend by her parents. When speaking with Jamie first, she says that she does not know why she is there other than her grades have dropped below honor roll recently. She states “my parents are just being jerks and making me come here to figure out what is wrong with me, but nothing is wrong with me. I just don’t care about school anymore.”Jamie states that she cannot give a reason why her grades have been dropping this school year, but does briefly mention that she is having problems with a couple of girls at school. She reports, “they are the popular girls. You know, the ones who all the boys like but they are mean to everyone. I’m just the weird girl who likes comic books.”As the first session goes on she begins to open up a bit more and mentions that she wishes she was not “weird”and could be like the other girls, specifically more like her older sister who she says is really popular.Her parents were also interviewed during the initial session. They reported that they divorced2.5 years ago after being separated for over a year. Before their separation, they reported consistent episodes of conflict in the marriage, but never anything physical–“more like heated disagreements…all the time”they state. Lewis has recently remarried and now has a blended family with his wife’s two sons (8 and 14). Lewis reports that recently he has noticed that Jamie “does not want to come and visit as much and when she does come visit she is not involved with the family.”Lewis said he had always been close with his daughters so the distance from Jamie is really becoming a problem for him. Janet, her mother, agrees that despite his shortcomings as a father, Lewis has always been an involved and nurturing father.Both parents state that they have brought Jamie to therapy to help with the changes in her attitude toward the family, her reluctancy to look after her diabetes/health, difficulties in school, and just overall “change from who she used to be….it isn’t healthy for our family dynamic that is already strained.”
Also, pose a discussion question for your fellow classmates that relates to what you read.
Directions: You’ll be creating a lesson plan that will eventually become part of a live course you create and publish. Identify the instructional need or training topic. Then, fill out the organizer based on the topic to complete the lesson. Knowledge of Merill’s First Principle of Instruction, Performance Assessments, Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, and Learner Analysis is a must for the project. Resource material will be provided.
Watch the videos shown below and make some written observations. Describe what the adolescents are doing and how they interact with others and their environment. In your writing make sure you correctly include a discussion of at least ten (10) of the following terms and concepts as they relate to the video:
puberty
physical growth
brain growth in adolescence (limbic system/frontal lobe)
menarche/spermarche
secondary sex characteristics
testosterone
body image issues
nutrition/obesity/eating disorders
Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development
stage 5 of Erik Erikson’s Theory
characteristics of adolescent thinking
ethnic identity
self-esteem
sexual behavior
sexual orientation
When you first start discussing each of these terms in your paper put them in bold font so I know where to look for them. Failure to do this could result in you losing points. Your paper should be 12 point Arial or Times New Roman font, and double-spaced. There is no page limit, but it will most likely be between 2-4 pages. APA style is not required. No references or citations needed.

I need APA 7th edition only!
By now, you should have completed the readings and viewed the videos that focus on specific strategies that schools and teachers are taking to effectively integrate SEL into the curriculum. For this assignment activity, I want you to do the following:
As you read articles & view the video, complete a matrix like the one below.
See Attached.
Be sure to include details about the different recommendations.
Compare the recommendations to your current classroom or your school’s practices. ( I will complete this section.)
The matrix should be complete in identifying all recommendations across the readings.
Specific practices and the comparison between your practice and the recommendations are to be included.
To demonstrate understanding of key concepts, students should synthesize and paraphrase authors’ key points/main ideas; directly quoted material should be used sparingly to support a point and must be presented and cited properly.
Please review APA format guidelines.
Please self-assess with the MATRIX RUBRIC to ensure all components are addressed completely.

Reporting t Test and Effect Size Results
Directions: Complete the assignment using the example as a guide.
Assignment:
Locate a Journal article using the ERIC database, or any report in which mean and standard deviation are reported. In a few sentences (provide sufficient detail for the reader), summarize the focus of the article or report, the sample and unit of measure, and the mean and standard deviation. You are to calculate and interpret the effect size. Remember to only interpret Cohen’s d (practical significance), not the r or “t” value which measures statistical significance.
If you do not use the correct terminology when interpreting Cohen’s d as noted in your readings, HALF CREDIT will be automatically deducted. The main focus of this assignment is to compute and interpret Cohen’s d and not confuse it with statistical significance.
*Note, if the article or report already calculated an effect size, locate another article. It is important for you to practice calculation and interpretation for your final project.
Be sure to reference your article using correct APA formatting!
Example:
O’Brian (2008) conducted a study to determine whether the use of manipulatives was more effective for teaching geometry concepts. One class received instruction with manipulatives, while the other received regular instruction. At the end of six weeks, test results indicated that the manipulatives-taught group gained higher scores on a test of geometry concepts. The manipulative group had a test mean of 90.1 (SD = 3.22), while the non-manipulative group had a test mean of 88.22 (SD = 5.3), t(48) = 2.13, p ≤ .05. d = 0.43. Cohen’s effect size value (d = 0.43) suggested only a moderate practical significance.

please answer questions asked by research article attached.
Instructions:
Your Alternative Assignment should be ORIGINAL. No direct quotes or inclusion of text from the article or third party sources will be accepted. Please be aware that if the text from the article or a third party source is accidentally or intentionally included in the Alternative Assignment without quotation marks, the UWF rules concerning plagiarism and associated penalties will apply.
Every submitted Alternative Assignment will be reviewed for plagiarism.
Each alternative assignment has a specific research article assigned to it. You must write a summary for the research article of the alternative assignment you sign up for – failure to write a response for the correct article will result in no credit being given.

II. Methods/Procedure
a. Describe the procedure used in the experiment: Who were the participants and what were they asked to do?
b. What were the variables and how were they measured?
c. Do the variables/measurements used adequately address the author(s) research question? Why or why not?
