Portfolio for Human Growth and Development
Question One
In “Psychosexual Theory of Development,” a person’s character develops during their initial childhood years, as stated by Freud (1856–1939). The behaviour and personalities of a person at adult stages are by the experiences they gained when still children. As a specialist in psychiatric field I agree with these since we have met adult who still behave like children and this clear shows the environment they grew in. Erikson grabbed Freud’s concept and improved it to the psychosocial model. It stresses on social, natural surroundings of human growth contrary to Freud’s sexual nature (Beckett & Taylor, 2019). Erikson says that human mode of interaction and with whom they associate determines a person’s sense of identity. Piaget (1896–1980), also carried out a study which derives Cognitive development theory. In this theory, Piaget emphasizes that cognitive capabilities cultivate via definite phases, which demonstrates the incoherence approach to growth.
Question Two
In Freud’s and Erikson’s thoughts of learning, their primary focus is on the sociological and psychological concepts of learning. These psychodynamic methodologies compare character with unseen procedures, which is contrary to the learning methodologies emphasizing only on visible actions. The conditions observed in these theories are observable and thus agree on the current neurobiological behaviour (Beckett & Taylor, 2019). Through research, brain structure and memory capability have is in consideration as a critical factor in the development stages. Working as as Psychiatrist, I agree with the theorists on the neurobiological behavior development stage. I have observed people with different mental capacity no matter their age.
Question Three
With my working experience and the training skills acquired in a training conducted by Mental Health First Aid USA as observed in the picture above, I confidently handle patients with trauma-related and drug/substance abuse conditions professionally. I have witnessed trauma-causing events can pose adverse challenges in treatment arrangement, appointment, and the result of social healthiness services. The extent of these events may be understated, deceptive, or absolute caustic. These events have caused emotional irregularities such as irritation, nervousness, unhappiness, and disgrace amongst the survivors. Numbing is another experience when a person is affected by these events (Berzoff & Drisko, 2015). The affected person also experiences slumber strife, muscle strain, and minor inception for alarm reactions, and it can continue ages after the occurrence of the incidence.
Question Four
The resilience concepts cultivated out of anxiety for ascertaining and enhancing danger elements that could harmfully upset children’s growth and health. Persons who adjust quickly to unexpected conditions, attaining desirable as well as unanticipated results in adversity aspect (Fraser et al., 1999), clearly demonstrate personal flexibility. In family resilience, Fraser (1999) states that a person’s heterogeneity and influence from the environment yield extraordinary performance in the expression of adverse dangers, thus causing resistance. Therefore, following according to van Breda (2018), resilience theory is a non-straightforward model where one gain knowledge of the equipment that creates the phenomenon complete is gained.
Question Five
Databases analysis for articles, records, and further publications like books on “differentiated instruction.” More reference materials were set aside for future use in a prospective study. It is a primary participant in supporting the change to differentiation to investigate on supplementary reference through the printing of leaflets, circulars, and bulletins. This method gave room to carry out extensive research. In my field of work, we attend workshops and seminar as well as doing more research to enhance effectiveness in service delivery.
Question Six
Human behaviour is the direct response a person displays with the conditions and situations surrounding them. Every person’s growth process is affected by sociological or psychological with the effects of the persons they associate—disability perception achieved from an individual mindset. A person with a closed mindset has got a fixed ability while the one with an open mindset, is ready for development. Environmental factors such as social class, family, friends, and culture affect normal and abnormal behaviours. When I started working I had work experience. Serving in different facilities gave an opportunity to persue my career and developing my skills always.
Question Seven
When dealing with mental illness, we associate the patients socially so that a good prescription becomes effective. According to Vygotsky’s notion, the zone of proximal development refers to a standard of growth achieved when students take part in social behaviour. For this theory to come to fulfilment, students must aggressively intermingle socially with a well-informed grown-up or proficient peers (Karimi-Aghdam, 2017). Therefore, an open-minded person seeking to developmentally must associate jointly with the skilled or educators who will sharpen on the knowledge they currently possess.
Question Eight
Theological agenda for human development concerning Christian mission is one of the emerging topics in nurturing growth and development. Mission work converts unfair circumstances to fair ones. By preaching the gospel where people accept Jesus in their lives, make another move in shaping the person’s character and further installing maturity in them.
Question Nine
Through my experience and trainings undertaken, I discovered most people around the world have consumed prohibited drugs and substances. The affected people narrate using these substances for pleasure, stress reduction, and just for entertainment. After using these substances for a while, the users become hooked up. Sometimes people engage in kind of behaviours since they have inherited it genetically from fore family members. It explains the genetic theory of addiction (Nutt, Lingford-Hughes, Erritzoe & Stokes, 2015). Exposure theory emphasizes the regularity of the abusers of the drugs and substances that causes addiction among them. Addiction has become a disease. As a specialist in this sector, we advise on prevention which can be through avoiding influential social groups, such as peers. Its treatment is a long process where the affected person rehabilitated
Portfolio for Studies in Interpersonal Communication
Question One
Decent statements in workstation effects in communal empathetic, synchronization, and exploit, whereas meagre reports merely trash time and wealth, forestall objective achievement ruins relations. When people have difficulty in understanding each other at a given workplace it turns out to be so hard to reach an answer of that any given problem while if the communication between two given parties is clear, everything become easy to express your ideas thus mutual understanding of a given goal (Parks, 2015). The above statement are clear because in my training in Non-violent crisis intervention, the above factors were mentioned. They improve the quality of I information flow at the place of work. The picture below certify the training attended.
Question Two
Features of interpersonal communication include; spoken, non-spoken, written, and visual. Spoken dialogue is the corporate relational proficiency, and it incorporates the message content, like meetings, interviews, performance reviews, and presentations. Non-spoken statements contain the way someone converses the message via body languages, like maintaining eye connection, expressions on the face, manners, and tone. Listening is keenly hearing and appreciating whatever a person is speaking and discerning over the meaning (DeVito, 2019). Problem-solving and intervention abilities call for characters to work affectionately with each other to achieve a result. Communication can also be through writing (letters, emails, texts, notes). No matter form of communication you choose to be comfortable with, interpersonal communication ensures that the world goes around.
Question Three
In the world, there comes a time when one lacks that forces to seek assistance from the other. In everyone’s life, there is that one person who gives an ear and tries to put themselves in your shoes. Meaning they are approachable, quick to understand, and ready to provide help. This kind of person portrays empathic listening. In health, a time comes when we cannot accomplish some tasks alone, we always have that one approachable colleague whom we seek assistance.
Question Four
Having served as a leader in the health sector, one need to have good understanding skills for good service delivery. Empathic listening is whereby a person gives other people a channel for their sentiments earlier before opening up, airing their involvements, and accepting fresh viewpoints on the troubling issue being the cause of emotional anguish (Parks, 2015). It makes empathic pay attention a good communication skill in maintaining a healthy and healing relationship.
