 Four options this time. Please answer one of the following four questions:

1) First, explain the basics of Sunni and Shia Islam. What are we talking about here? What do the words mean? How did this split occur? What has been the impact?
Then tell me, in the words of Ali’s article, “What Makes America So Great for Sunni and Shiite Muslims?” Why is the U.S. so great, in this sense?

2) Describe the major themes and concerns of Wahhabism and Salafism (found in Prothero). What makes these forms of Islam attractive to some people? What human needs or inclinations do they address? Can you imagine how there could be similar groups in other religions? What would an opposite religious impulse look like?

3) As Prothero suggests on pp. 336-7, one strategy of Muslim feminists has been to make a distinction between the genuine Islamic religion (which is egalitarian) and historical Islamic societies (which have been sexist). What would be evidence for this argument? What would be its implications? Does this seem like a smart, persuasive strategy within a religious community?

4) How would you sum up the thesis of Eboo Patel’s article, “My Neighbor’s Faith: The Heroes I Was Looking For” (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-heroes-i-was-looking-for_b_1501597)? How did he arrive at this conclusion? Do you think he’s probably correct? What in your experience confirms or contradicts his point of view?

CASE STUDY: COUNSELING AN SUD TREATMENT CLIENT WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA

Adolfo M. is a 40-year-old Latino man who began using cannabis and alcohol at 15. He was diagnosed as having schizophrenia when he was 18 and began using cocaine at 19. Sometimes, he lives with his sister or with temporary girlfriends; sometimes, on the street. He has never had a sustained relationship, and he has never held a steady job. He has few close friends. He has had periods of abstinence and freedom from hallucinations and major delusions, but he generally has unusual views of the world that emerge quickly In conversation.

Adolfo M. has been referred to an SUD treatment counselor, who was hired by the mental health center to do most of the group and Individual drug/alcohol work with clients. The first step the counselor takes Is to meet with Adolfo M. and his case manager together. This provides a clinical linkage and allows them to get the best history. The clinical history reveals that Adolfo M. does best when he Is sober and on medications, but there are times when he will be sober and not adhere to a medical regimen, or when he is both taking medications and drinking (although these periods are becoming shorter in duration and less frequent). His case manager often is able to redirect him toward renewed sobriety and adherence to medications, but Adolfo M. and the case manager agree that the cycle of relapse and the work of pulling things back together is wearing them both out. After the meeting, the case manager, counselor, and Adolfo M. agree to meet weekly for a while to see what they can do together to increase the stable periods and decrease the relapse periods. After a month of these planning meetings, the following plan emerges. Adolfo M. will attend SUD treatment groups for people with CODs (run by the counselor three times a week at the clinic), see the team psychiatrist, and attend local dual disorder AA meetings. The SUD treatment group he will be joining is one that addresses not only addiction problems but also difficulties with treatment follow-through, life problems, ways of dealing with stress, and the need for social support for clients trying to get sober. When and if relapse happens, Adolfo M. will be accepted back without prejudice and supported in recovery and treatment of both his substance misuse and mental disorders; however, part of the plan is to analyze relapses with the group. His goal is to have as many sober days as possible with as many days adhering to a medical regimen as possible. Another aspect of the group is that monthly, 90-day, 6-month, and yearly sobriety birthdays are celebrated. Part of the employment program at the center is that clients need to have a minimum of 3 months of sobriety before they will be placed in a supported work situation, so this becomes an incentive for sobriety as well.

Review the agency’s intervention/treatment plan used to engage clients. After reviewing the agency’s intervention/treatment plan, consult the literature and conduct extensive research, with the goal of finding best practices that supports or adds to the agency’s current intervention/treatment plan. The purpose of this assignment is to find research that supports or adds to the agency’s current intervention/treatment approach.

 Social histories are prepared to paint a comprehensive picture of a client’s situation and relevant information. This information may come from referral sources, other providers, and the client. For this assignment, you will be drafting a social history for your client Mr. Brown from the Case Vignette.

Tes pertama gagal pada salah satu berasal 2, tiga, 12. Bila Anda menutup angka lain, tujuan kami adalah mengumpulkan senjata 7 sebelum Anda membeli.

Readings

Use your Clinical Social Work Practice textbook to read the following:

• Chapter 1, “An Integrated Approach to Clinical Practice,” pages 1–9.
• Chapter 2, “Key Issues in Clinical Practice,” pages 10–26.

Use the Capella University Library to read the following:

• American Psychiatric Association. (2022). Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed., text rev.).
  • Section I, Introduction and Use of the Manual. 
    • This will help you acquire a basic understanding of the manual.

Use the Internet to read the following:

• National Association of Social Work. (2005). NASW standards for clinical social work in social work practice [PDF]. http://www.socialworkers.org/ 
  • This resource guide on ethics within clinical social work will serve as a valuable resource in understanding ethical standards.

Reamer (1999) shares an ethical decision-making framework that explores a hierarchy of topics that supersede others. This framework includes the following concepts:

• Rules against basic harm to an individual’s survival take precedence over rules against harms, such as lying or revealing confidential information or threats to additive goods.
• An individual’s right to basic well-being takes precedence over another individual’s right to self-determination.
• An individual’s right to self-determination takes precedence over his or her right to basic well-being.
• The obligation to obey laws, rules, and regulations to which one has voluntarily and freely consented ordinarily overrides one’s right to engage voluntarily and freely in a manner that conflicts with these.
• Individuals’ rights to well-being may override laws, rules, regulations, and arrangements of voluntary associations in cases of conflict.
• The obligation to prevent basic harms and to promote public goods, such as housing, education, and public assistance overrides the right to complete control over one’s property.

Cooper and Granucci Lesser (2015) shared that cyber communication increases ethical and clinical concerns. Therapists who engage in emails with clients often face the ethical dilemma of timely and appropriate responses in addition to the expectation of clinicians being available at all times. This dilemma may test traditional professional boundaries and create ethical dilemmas.

Social workers have ethical guidelines, provided through the National Association of Social Work, to guide them through potential ethical dilemmas. This week’s reading of NASW “Standards for Clinical Social Work in Social Work Practice” provides a baseline of expectations for ethical standards within clinical social work.

Based on all of the above, read the following scenario and identify potential ethical dilemmas.

Scenario

Anna is a new licensed clinical social worker who has worked for a university counseling center for two months. Thomas is a student who was referred to her at the beginning of the semester for anxiety and depression. Anna has been seeing Thomas once a week. In addition, he checks in with her through e-mail when he becomes anxious. Anna typically responds to his e-mail during her office hours by assuring him and reminding him of their upcoming appointment. Thomas’s e-mails and phone calls have recently increased due to midterms over the next couple of weeks. On Monday Thomas left a phone message wanting to talk to Anna. He reported that he needed to talk to her sooner than their Thursday scheduled meeting but did not state why. Anna noticed that he sounded upset and slurred his words.

Anna saw Dr. Stance during lunch in the busy student center, Anna knows Dr. Stance is one of Thomas’s favorite professors. Anna shared with Dr. Stance that she was worried about Thomas because she had a strange phone call and stated that he sounded impaired. Anna asked Dr. Stance if Thomas had been in class and if he had been acting strange. Anna did not document the e-mail or the conversation with Dr. Stance as she was going to include these conversations within her weekly clinical note.

On Wednesday Thomas responded to Anna’s e-mail at 8 p.m., stating that someone stole his medication and he did not feel capable of going to class in fear of hurting himself or someone else. He also assured Anna that if he needed to call 911 on his behalf that he would and that she did not need to worry about him. Anna did not look at her e-mail on Wednesday night as she was not feeling well and decided to call in sick on Thursday.

You are Anna’s supervisor and covering Anna’s clients for the day on Thursday. Thomas does not come in for his appointment.

For this discussion:

• Consider this scenario in light of this week’s readings. Also consider ethical decision making in relation to self-determination and well-being based on Reamer’s framework.
• Identify one of the many potential ethical dilemmas within this case and discuss why you feel it is an ethical dilemma.
• Identify two standards provided through the NASW standards readings that you could apply to this situation to assist in the ethical decision-making process.
• Discuss how each standard applies to this case.

In this forum, we’ll be discussing examples of propaganda and signaling in the Ancient world (think BCE or any era with “Ancient” in front of it). You must:

• Choose a work of ancient art. (NOT one discussed in our module and it must be ancient)
• Describe the work (AND include an image of it — remember to get a HIGH-QUALITY IMAGE!)
• Argue for why or why not this work would be considered propaganda (and, if applicable, whether or not it is successful propaganda).
• Respond to at least ONE of your classmates; either supporting their argument or countering it. Of course, BE RESPECTFUL. (I will come down on you like the Lord of the Forum with brimstone and fire.)

Your post should be at least a paragraph in length. Your response can be any length (as long as it’s not just “I agree with you” or “I disagree” and nothing else)

This includes a reply to one student. I will post classmates response in message chat.
