From the Paper
"The purpose of the paper is to provide a concise exploration of the inception and development of counseling psychology from various perspectives. Most significantly, this discussion will highlight the unique characteristics of counseling psychology which distinguish it from clinical psychology, another specialty in the field of psychology. Because the two specialties share the same theoretical knowledge and practices, counseling psychology has often been subsumed under the field of clinical psychology. By catering to a population that ... "

Abstract
This paper explores a federal research grant to study questions in the field of counseling psychology. The author first sets the stage with an already conducted study, using its findings as a base from which to work. The paper relates that the study, which the author would conduct, combines qualitative and quantitative methods to study the incidence and effect of empathic counseling methods, which would contribute to the field significantly by providing a more reasonable determination of the nature of counseling methods and draw some conclusions about their effectiveness.
From the Paper
"Having just received a federal research grant in the field of psychology - more specifically, counseling psychology - it now falls to me to demonstrate my ability to formulate an appropriate research project that will make a significant contribution to the field. That said, it is my intention to expound upon a recent study that was done (Carlozzi et al, 2002) that examined the relationship between theory, practice, and empathy for counselors and psychologists. Understanding the role that empathy plays for psychologists is important on both a theoretical and practical level. This paper will first present the results of the study mentioned above as a basis for my subsequent explanation of my own research intent. My work will help quantify both the incidence and importance of counselor empathy and has the potential to suggest some new theoretical approaches to the issue."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the connection between theology and psychology in Christian counseling. The benefits of combining these two disparate studies and practices is then discussed. Following this examination, the paper presents ways in which Christian counselors may use these findings in order to better their practices and better heal their patients.
The author claims to rely on current research in addition to classic texts of psychoanalysis such as Freud's. The goal of Christian counselling is seen as a positive integration of psychological texts and the Bible.
From the Paper
"Research indicates that after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans have grasped for the healing associated with Christian counseling. Like Herrod, these Americans are flocking to counseling that incorporates a spiritual or religious element, most often of the Christian variety. Over the last decade, in fact, faith-based therapies--from pastoral counseling to ecumenical Christian counseling to fundamentalist Bible--based treatment have absolutely rocketed in popularity, according to Paul's research. (Paul. 2005)
As evidence, the American Association of Christian Counselors has grown from 15,000 members in 1999 to 50,000 today. Specialized services are also thriving: It is becoming increasingly easy to find Christian-based eating disorder treatment centers or Christian life coaches. (Paul, 2005)"

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper provides summaries of three articles about development of teachers, noting different aspects of the issue, different approaches taken, research conducted and surveys of teachers for their views. The paper presents the three articles; "Professional development for the teacher, of the teacher and by the teacher," "Teacher-to-teacher professional development through state-sponsored networks" and "The cooperating teacher role and career development."
From the Paper
"The authors discuss current ways of achieving teacher development, beginning with a meeting at the beginning of each school year, though the writers also find that most professional development ignores the teachers and operates at a different level. Restructuring and reform have been the watchwords since 1983, but the authors find that the program has not worked. They recommend instead an approach called SITTI - School Innovation Through Teacher Interaction - that was developed by Pierce and Hunsaker in 1995. This is a cyclical model beginning with a common vision, identifying the needs of the faculty, establishing "experts" among the faculty who will act on the needs, and providing a support through peer coaching."

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. "

" EVOLUTION OF PSYCHOLOGY
Introduction
Present view of psychology is that it is a natural science. Society and the scientific community approve of the discipline, however, insecurities remain. Independent scientific psychology was found throughout the nineteenth century. The end of that century brought the founding of a laboratory and the first journal for the new independent scientific psychology. Over the next one hundred years scientific psychology has included a work force that now constitutes one of the largest groups within contemporary scholarship. Doubt still remains though since throughout the accumulation of technical literature with thousands of law-like statements, not one can be counted as a law by the standards of the natural sciences or in the sense of.."

From the Paper
"The history of psychology has seen many changes in its beliefs and methodologies. The great personality theories came out of the early days of Freud and lasted up until the mid 1950s. This paper will look at the what has happened in psychology since that time, and evaluate the effects brought about in clinical psychology and psychological research with the demise of that era.
The great age of personality theories and theories of learning is passed. Though no major theories, as such, have emerged to replace them, there has been considerable movement away from the classical beliefs in more recent years (Oppenheimer, 1984). Psychology has split into several fields of specialization, including social psychology, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, and psychoanalytical psychology."

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."

Cultural Evolution vs. Biological Evolution, 2008.
A comparison and contrast over cultural evolution with biological evolution.
1,583 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 36.95

Abstract
This paper explains the concept of cultural evolution and compares and contrasts cultural evolution with biological evolution. The paper discusses the effect of the historical or cultural environment on the development of cultural evolution and looks at the study of cultural anthropology and the various opinions that exist on the ability for evolution of culture to occur at all.
From the Paper
"The social sciences must take into consideration cultural perceptions, even if these perceptions are biologically in error. The human race has far more in common with one another than it has differences, but culturally individuals have perceived and classified other individuals according to 'races,' including Darwin himself in some of his less enlightened moments. Cultural evolution and anthropology aims to understand how these perceptions have affected human culture, but biological evolution merely takes note of this factual error. Obviously, the biological fiction of race, and the fact that an apparently Caucasian individual can have the genetic material of someone who is African, even if these traits are not dominant in his or her physical configuration, acts as a profound question to the assumptions of our culture. The limits of our own culture challenge the idea that there is a linear, positive progress to cultural evolution of ideas and practices (such as industrialization making the world less habitable). The insight biological evolution provides about race shows that there can be fruitful methodological dialogue between cultural and biological evolutionists, but the two approaches will never study the same discipline, nor can the use the same methods. The biological question: 'Are there races within the human species' is a different question than the cultural query: 'why do cultures continue to subscribe to the divisive idea that there are innate differences between different groups of the human species?""

Abstract
Examines the differences between the two schools of psychology. Community as grounded in roots of ecological psychology & the social sciences. Traditional as based upon principles of psychoanalysis, behaviorism & humanistic psychotherapies. Uses actor Robert Downey, Jr. and his chronic substance abuse problems to illustrate how both schools of psychology would analyze his difficulties.
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
"The nature of the human condition means that there are spiritual, physiological, psychological, and sociocultural components involved. In order to live a complete life, then, requires a healthy spiritual component as well as mental and physical well-being. The challenges facing counselors today, then, is to develop a framework that approaches the individual from this holistic perspective. According to Becvar (1997), the fields of psychology and theology tend to overlap, because "tending to the soul in human beings goes far beyond science" (p. 270). Healthcare providers have tended to exclude spirituality from their delivery models in recent years, but the apparent value of prayer and Christian counseling in these settings has caused many clinicians to reassess what people really need when they are sick and scared."

Abstract
This paper discusses the nature of behavioral evolution in the book "Comparative Psychology Evolution and Development of Behavior" by Maurico R. Papini. This study covers the basis for natural selection in behavioral formats within animals and also elucidates the individual traits that are part of the evolutionary process in the opinions of Papini. By demonstrating the systems that contribute to the mechanical properties of evolution, the writer shows how this plays into scope of empirical studies done to prove that neurons in the brain are associated with learning in the animals.
