Donald  Super’s Theory of Life-Span and Life-Space offers perspective on how we  develop passions and careers in the context of the many roles that we  play throughout life.  As you think about roles you play in your life,  the reasons that bring you to the discipline of psychology, and the  career goals that are important to you, please reflect and answer the  following questions.  
Do you believe that it is a challenge to achieve  work and life balance?  Can the roles conflict?  What do you think  might be good strategies for achieving this balance?  Explain your  answer.
What  might lead to professional “burnout” (e.g., losing motivation, building  resentment, feeling overwhelmed, etc.) in a field like Psychology?
Do you think it is possible to use the insights learned through psychological training in our personal lives?  In what ways?
What  do you think might be the consequences of playing counselor to the  people in our real lives, or “bringing work home” with us?  Or  conversely, bringing home issues to work with us?
Your response should be between 500-750 words

It  is often the case that positions of leadership and social service  require that helpers take on a heavy burden as they assist others in  working through their challenges.  The recent COVID public health crisis  is a good example of the kinds of fears, stresses, and trauma that lie  beneath the surface and emerge during challenging times. 
For  many of us who aim to be helpers, one of the important steps of  training is psychologically preparing ourselves to be able to receive  and hold the emotional weight that patients, clients, followers, and  mentees bring to us in times of need…  all while not becoming  overwhelmed.
Each  of you may have found yourself working through similar hard times, and  in the process perhaps reflecting on your own personal life challenges.   With that in mind, the discussion questions are:
1.  Do you think that future Helpers and Counselors should first be  required to get counseling/self-help before working with others?
2.  What are the potential drawbacks of getting into the practice of  psychology without first having done your own psychological “work”?
3.  Do you think social media influencers in the “self help” space are  beneficial or detrimental to promoting good mental health practice?
4.  Can you think of any other important self-development tools besides  traditional therapy that might help you get ready for the professional  role of helping others?

Choose a country other than the US and conduct research on psychology as it is practiced in that country. Your report must be based upon at least two sources. Your report should clearly provide the reader with a good overview of the discipline of psychology in your chosen country. In your report you should attempt to address the following topics:1) A brief history of the discipline in that country; 2) The degree to which psychology has been imported from other countries; 3) The relative importance of scientific or academic research and applied psychology; 4). The status of psychology as a profession; 5) The level and type of training necessary to become a professional psychologist; 6) The major theoretical orientation(s) and whether if any one theoretical orientation dominates; 7) Major research trends or focuses; and 8) Professional organizations and codes of ethics.

How is schizophrenia understood and explained in the reading How does the family handle the disorder and how do people’s reactions there differ from what is typical in the United States? How are there approaches to Schizophrenia different from those in the United States? How does McGruder apply her “Western Lens” when looking at this family?

The film “New Jack City”, directed by Mario Van Peebles and released in 1991, provides a gritty portrayal of drug dealing, addiction, and the impact of the “war on drugs” in urban communities.

Read the article Adolescents’ Negative Experiences in Organized Activities
After reading the adolescent negative group experiences article, construct three recommendations on designing an organized group recreational activity for a summer camp program. Reference specific points and data from the article to support your recommendations.

 
1. After listening to the short audio clip from NPR News (or reading the transcript), watching this week’s videos – particularly the one on the danger of mixing up causality and correlation – and completing the readings, discuss why correlation does not equal causation.
2. Describe at least one example (besides those in the readings and videos) of a situation where mixing up these two concepts could negatively impact an individual or group of individuals. Feel free to search the web for other instances where these two concepts were mixed up.
