Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week. The use of mandated, or legally coerced, treatment is widespread. Yet research demonstrating the efficacy of this type of treatment is limited, and mandating mental health treatment is one of the most contested issues in the field of psychology. To justify the continued use of mandated treatment, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers are obligated to demonstrate the effectiveness and limitations of such treatment programs.
You have been called in to consult on cases that may require mandated treatment. After reviewing the PSY699 The ethics of mandated treatment scenarios (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., choose two to discuss in your initial post. Begin your research with the required resources for this week. Using the specific situations presented in each of the scenarios you have chosen, conduct further research to help inform your recommendations for each individual. A minimum of one resource per scenario, beyond those already required for the assignment, must be included in your initial post.
In your post, construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to present your recommendations as to whether or not treatment should be mandated for the individuals in each of the scenarios. As you write your recommendations, be certain to provide insights into the following questions.

What are the ethical principles and implications raised by legally mandating clients into treatment? 
What evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of treatment with and without coercion for this type of situation? 
What would be the challenges in evaluating the effectiveness of mandated treatment? 
How might mandated treatment impact your clinical decision making as the mental health professional assigned to these cases?
What client factors might limit or augment the potential benefits of treatment if it were mandated?

Integrating concepts from your research and the required readings, offer insights across different content domains as to why you have reached these conclusions. Explain how you used the APA Ethical Code of Conduct to guide your decisions. Evaluate the generalizability of your specific research findings to the situations presented and provide a rationale as to why this research supports your recommendations.

Your Signature Assignment is to trace the development of an area in the field of psychology. Identify and describe the contributing researchers and theorists, and the evolution of the key research in the field.
To assist you in identifying a topic for this paper, consider your own specialization area and research interests. Be sure to include the following in your paper:

Armed with knowledge we have learned to date about human behavior and using that as your foundation, determine and discuss what social needs and behaviors must be studied today.
Review the key principles and theories presented on the topic. Discuss the contributing researchers and theories, and evaluate the contributions of these researchers (including at least one woman and one minority individual).
If, in your opinion, there is limited knowledge, explain why this may be and how this could serve as the basis for inquiry today.
If the topic has been examined from different perspectives, reflect upon how today’s world may benefit from another look.

Support your assignment with at least seven scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 12-15 pages, not including title and reference pages

Psychosis, which is not just involved in , is essentially a loss of reality.
Psychotic episodes can occur separately from schizophrenia. But psychosis is a common symptom of schizophrenia. It consists for the most part of hallucinations and delusions. That is hearing or seeing things that aren’t really there and believing irrational things, for instance, some psychotic individuals believe the government are after them/stalking them.
Hope this helps!

 it’s very important that your answer focuses on why the Bachelors in Science in psychology in Psychology is important to your career goals.
That is the information Faculty reviewing the exception will be looking for on your answers, not how you need the flexibility.
o   In addition to the content, be sure to check for grammar, spelling and ensure you meet the word count requirements for each statement. It is helpful to type the responses in a Word.doc then copy and paste into the PDF form.
o   Be sure that each statement is at least 200 words.  ( 300 – 350 words to look good)

The Attachment is an example. 

Scenario:
Aalia is a 17-year-old Muslim female from Pakistan. Her family has been in the United States for 7 years. Aalia was referred to a counselor by her family doctor because she has experienced several behavioral changes over the past 2 months. She takes less interest in school and community activities and has started to isolate herself in her room at home. Her siblings describe her as irritable and moody. Aalia has had occasional crying spells over the past month and she reported unexplained weight loss over the past 2 months. She does not have a formal diagnosis. As you plan for your first session with Aalia, think about what you will do.
What needs to be done
Tasks:
In a minimum of 200 words, respond to the following:

Describe three objectives you hope to accomplish in the first session with Aalia and explain why these objectives are important to accomplish in the early stages of the counseling relationship.
Discuss any additional information you want to confirm or gather from the doctor, Aalia, and her parents and siblings and describe how you will go about gathering the additional information.
Discuss what kind of assessment you will want or need to conduct.
Explain how what you learned in Module 4 will contribute to your professional growth as a new counselor-in-training.
Your discussion should clearly reflect your thoughtful and logical analysis of the information.

Support your rationale and analysis by using at least two resources from professional literature in your response. Professional literature may include peer-reviewed journal articles you can access through the Argosy University online library resources; relevant textbooks; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (websites ending in .edu or .gov).
