Although I have been given the knowledge I gained awareness that addiction truly is an illness. My thoughts and feelings will definitely be more tolerant and caring, all while showing concern to those that I may be blessed to be a part of their care in the future. Fortinash, K.

After years of emotional and physical abuse inflicted by her father, Mayella was finally able to control one thing in her life. Having an affair with Tom Robinson, a black man, was an enticingly risky idea to Mayella; in the 1930’s, racism was still alive and especially prominent in the South, so the idea of a white woman being romantically involved with a black man was practically taboo. She was well-aware of the consequences that would come with that interaction when she forced him to kiss her, so when she was caught, she had to blame Tom in order to avoid the shameful truth caused by her years of loneliness and abuse. By the time Mayella reached the stand and swore upon the Bible in court, she had already decided that she had to lie about what had really
The definition of motivational interviewing (MI) has evolved and been refined since the first publications on its use as a way to deal with behaviour change. The technical therapeutic definition of motivational interviewing is a collaborative, and goal oriented method of communication with giving specific observation to the language of change. It is intended to reinforce an individual’s motivation for and development towards a particular objective by evoking and investigating the individual's own arguments for change (Miller & Rollnick, 2012). Motivational interviewing was created to enable clients to prepare for changing addictive behaviours like drug and alcohol abuse (Miller & Rollnick, 1991, 2002) and has been viable to lessen other harmful behaviours including tobacco, drugs, alcohol, gambling, treatment
In addition, clients can become more aware of their own brain process when exercising addictive behaviors. By understanding addiction from a IPNB perspective, clients may become insightful to their present thoughts and feelings. Moreover, since they understand that their past experience are enforcing their misbehavior, they may feel less depressed, guilty, ashamed or

However, rather than treating an addiction like a disease, society treats addiction by stigmatizing the person like a failure, and criminal. Those who suffer with this disease, both the addict, and their friends and family, are usually isolated by judgment and embarrassment from others, who are unaware and ignorant to the issue. As a result, the disease sadly often goes unrecognized and untreated, especially among the poor, and those who are unable to get proper treatment. Once again, I am very happy after attending my second meeting, and it has an overall great experience. I wish more people were open to meetings to see how great and beneficial they are to all kinds of people, and this summer that is my goal to open others up to attending meetings that could help benefit
The concept of a white woman being touched, let alone raped by an African American male was an assumption in the little town of Maycomb Alabama, 1930’s. During this period Mayella is considered helpless due to being a female as well as lonely and afraid considering her status as a poor white piece of trash. She manipulates people by using her social class, gender, and race to her advantage. In particular, her accusations made against Tom Robinson, an African American man. These factors lead to her gaining power with the trial and conviction of Tom Robinson. Race refers to the categorization of people based on physical differences.(“Is Mayella Powerful?” 7) Mayella Ewell had perquisites due to her race, which helped her during the conviction.
Psychological theories of criminal behavior emphasize criminal thinking patterns or personality defects. These theories emphasize individual differences in behavior and the approaches to thinking, feeling, and decision-making that make some people predisposed to committing criminal acts.
The goals that I have set myself to accomplish this semester is to be more competent in my therapeutic practice that utilizes my theoretical orientation, being more professionally assertive, and being more knowledgeable about the approaches in adolescent substance abuse group counseling. These three objectives are an aspect in my counseling practice that need improvement and what I am determined to strengthen.
One thing I will say is that I recommend everyone to attend a 12 step meeting because it is a gainful experience. Hearing a young man, Brain, speak about his struggles with cocaine and trying to recover was an eye opener. One might not be able to relate, but one can understand their perspective. It was a coincidence how the spokesperson pointed out that Brain would touch his nose every time he said the word “cocaine.” Brian’s addiction took away his privilege to have a driver’s license from getting charged with several DUI’s (driving under the influence). He complained about his girlfriend giving him rides to work every morning, and how he hated that he had to wait for her instead of leaving the house and drive to work whenever he wanted to. He hated how he wasn’t able to take his girlfriend out to dates. He hated how he was never going to get that privilege back all because of
The term criminal desistance refers to when offenders desist, or stop, committing crime. Desistance from crime exists when an individual has an absence of criminal behavior in their lives for a sustained period of time. By studying desistance, a better understanding of what causes individuals to commit crime is created; as well as, a better understanding as to why certain individuals discontinue their lives of crime. The criminal justice field often encompasses, serving justice by locking people up and keeping the “bad guys” away from the general public. Little thought was given as to what can be done in order to help prevent people from committing crime, until more recent years. Most criminological theories attempt to explain why people commit
So, it is clear that addiction is all around us and can attack anyone of us at any given time. Even studies conducted show that people neglect to speak around their dependency for two primary reasons. Foremost, because people do not comprehend, or they bear a total misconception to their addiction, that they do not realize that addictions can be critical to their overall wellness. Moreover, second, many people believe being an addict will never happen to them, but, in reality, most addictions start off as simple little habits. Such as starting with one drink after dinner and before you know it you are drinking several drinks a day. However, one does not opt to be addicted to a substance, because addictions are physical defects in the brain, a disease, and not one’s choice.
Intervention through CT addresses the belief system while also retraining the habitual behavior. A core principle underlying CBT for SUD’s is in the fact that substance use is a powerful reinforcement for behavior and as such these reinforcements are associated with internal and external stimuli that can be mitigated through CBT (McHugh, Hearon & Otto, 2010). As many addicted individuals are reluctant to seek treatment for substance use, CT interventions can help guide an individual through a process of Socratic dialogue. This technique helps lead the client to areas of concern without accusing and is supposed to challenge the client’s belief system. Wiers & Stacy (2006) add that CT is a process where instead of trying to unlearn maladaptive associations, therapy leads the individual to automatize action plans that lead to alternative behaviors. Understanding the negative consequences of substance use diverts the thinking process to planning positive reactions. The CT process does not just occur in the presence of the therapist, but in the day to day life of the client. Recording automatic thoughts as an example can help lead to unconscious belief systems that could stimulate
