Abstract
This paper examines behaviorism and the roles of educational and clinical psychology in association with behaviorism.
From the Paper
" Psychology, in all of its branches, has its roots in theories that originated with Sigmund Freud. His work with the theories behind psychoanalysis opened the gates for other theorists, some of whom agreed with Freud and expanded on his work. Other theorists diverged from Freud's work, removing the psyche almost entirely from their own work. These theorists studied the field of behaviorism. Some notable behaviorists were John B. Watson, Edward L. Thorndike, and Burrhus Frederick (B.F.) Skinner. "

Abstract
The author of this paper derives information from her own experience as a clinical psychologist, as well as the opinion of other psychologists such as Nathaniel Brandon, to address the issue of a pervasive sense of inner guilt and shame which originates, to some degree, in the Judeo-Christian religious upbringing of many patients. The author shows how she has developed a method of addressing these psychological issues in a manner that fulfills her professional and ethical obligations as a therapist, without inspiring unnecessary conflicts with the personal religious beliefs of the patients.
From the Paper
"Since these revelations, she has been able to resist any temptation to use the excuse of intoxication to pursue sexual gratification and she has remained celibate, in keeping with her moral values and her conscious wishes. When she is unable to resist the (psychologically normal) urge to masturbate, she reminds herself that it is the ?lesser of two evils?, which her ?God? understands. Most importantly, from a therapists view, she no longer suffers from intense shame and guilt from her choices."

From the Paper
"Clinical psychology has no single accepted definition, though there are certain main trends which can be identified with the term. Clinical psychology can first be identified as the activity of the psychologist in a clinic or hospital, normally confined to diagnosis and to advice. Clinical psychology might also be identified as a special method of exploration and observation first introduced into child psychology by Jean Piaget. Clinical psychology can further be designated as the application of the results and methods of all basic psychological disciplines and related disciplines in the clinical setting. Clinical psychology is an applied discipline (Eysenck, Arnold, & Meili, 1972, 173).
The history of clinical psychology extends back at least to World War I, and this history can be seen as developing in three stage.."

From the Paper
"Every health care profession has a standard of ethics they must follow. While many professions have a strict code of conduct within the guidelines or policies of their parent organization, such as the American Medical Association or American Bar Association, the American Psychological Association (APA) finally approved a code of ethics in 1952, 60 years after the association's inception (Pope & Veeter, 1992). The code of ethics was considered unique in that it was "based upon the day-to-day decisions made by psychologists in the practice of their profession" (Pope & Veeter, 1992). This paper will present a brief discussion of professional ethics as they relate to the practice clinical psychology, highlight common ethical danger areas and focus on the ethic dilemma of dual relationships.

Abstract
This paper discusses the major educational psychology concerns for both elementary education and adult education such as intelligence, expectations, attitude, goals, motivation and stress.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Stress is part of daily life for every person on the planet. This is also true in the classroom for teachers and students alike. Stress may be experienced in either a positive or negative way, and has a profound effect on performance and attitude. Teachers may experience negative stress for example when students appear unresponsive to teaching strategies, and/or fail to live up to expectation. This stress may then communicate itself to the students and degenerate into a cycle where the students perform poorly because that is what is expected of them. Furthermore, students, especially in the adult classroom, may experience stress because of pressure from the workplace to perform better, while having to spend extra time on their studies."

From the Paper
"Community psychology is a specialization within a larger realm encompassing psychology and the social sciences that is grounded in the roots of ecological psychology (What is community psychology..., 2000). Traditional psychology, on the other hand, is based upon fundamental principles of psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic psychotherapies (Garfield & Bergin, 1986). The two approaches differ in terms of views, values, and focus. The purpose of this report is to examine the differences between these two schools of psychology with reference to a specific individual seeking help for a life problem. The individual selected is the well-known actor, Robert Downey, Jr., whose substance abuse problems have been tracked in the popular press over the course of the last several years."

From the Paper
"One day on the football field he grabbed a smaller boy from behind, wrapped his arms around him and clenching his hands together, lifted him high in the air and squeezed. A cracking noise was heard and the boy fell to the ground with internal injuries and a rib broken. Tom declared he had only been horsing around, but some of the other boys claimed he was angry at the boy for teasing him. It was not the first time Tom had been known to do something physical in retaliation for teasing."
"The principal met with the School Board, court officials, a doctor and the school mental health counselor. Tom was removed from the football team, suspended from school and ordered to see a behavioral therapist for counseling."

Abstract
This paper examines in-depth the correlation of a sedentary life style and poor academic achievement while stressing the need for implementing a more aggressive approach to physical and nutritional education in America's school systems which would result in greater academic performance. The writer also discusses how the current physical education programs in the nation's schools vary with the affluence of the neighborhoods.
From the Paper
"The problem with teaching nutrition, for example, lies in Inner city schools, where minorities and children from poor families come to get their one solid meal of the day. How do you teach "nutrition" to such deprived children? And, isn't it a fact that mal-nourished and under-nourished children do badly on exams simply because their bodies cannot keep up, and their attention-spans may be limited if by nothing else than hunger pangs. Over-eating, obese children also tend to have some learning problems, because their over-saturated digestive systems tend to make them logy. However, some elementary nutrition subjects must be taught, and they should be considered part of the Health/Physical Education curriculum."

Abstract
This paper examines the benefits and disadvantages of inclusion programs from the point of view of the student as well as the teacher.
Inclusion means keeping special education students in regular classrooms and bringing the special support services to them. It discusses the affect it has on the children's education and on their parents. It details the types of schools where inclusion is more successful and where it is less successful. It discusses psychological and educational research done on this issue and presents its conclusions. It discusses several relevant education models such as: The itinerant model, used for certain categories of special education and the consultation model, when the teacher remains in one or two buildings with larger numbers of students to serve.
From the Paper
"In schools where collaboration was successfully implemented, the special needs children developed improved social skills, greater motivation to learn, and increased self-esteem. Positive peer relationships developed. In these situations, ?Collaboration brought complementary professional skills to planning, preparation, and delivery of classroom instruction? [Ripley, 1997]. ?The concepts of individualized instruction, multiple learning styles, team teaching, weekly evaluation, and detailed planning are all of direct benefit to students ?[Ripley, 1997] Middle Schools easily lend themselves to the principles of collaboration. Collaboration is an important process of general education of Middle School Students where interdisciplinary teams often share in planning [Hines, 2001]. Middle school structures can be used as a model for special education inclusion."

Abstract
This paper explores Patricia Benner's study on how nursing skills are acquired. Benner's work has been been seen as a new way of approaching this topic and has provided an interesting give and take on nurse training and development. The author discusses how Benner introduced the concept that expert nurses develop skills and understanding of patient care over time through a firm educational base in addition to a wide variety of experiences.
From the Paper
"Based on a dialogue with nurses, Benner identified five levels of competency in the clinical nursing practice: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient and expert (Benner, 1984, p. xvii). Novices are beginners who have had no experience in the situations that will confront them. In order to help them perform in such situations, they are taught such objectifiable and measurable attributes such as weight, intake and output, temperature, blood pressure and pulse. They also learn context-free rules that guide action in respect to these attributes. For example, weight gain and intake that is consistently higher than output by greater than 500cc could indicate water retention. Such rule-governed behavior normal for the novice is very limited and inflexible, since they have no prior experience upon which to base decisions (Benner, 1984, p. 20-21). It must be stressed that not only students are novices. They can also be any nurse entering a clinical setting where he/she has had no experience with the patient population. "
