Creating a Specialist Website     

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, please read the Neimeyer, et al. (2011) How Special Are the Specialties? Workplace Settings in Counseling and Clinical Psychology in the United States and Heatherington, et al. (2012) The Narrowing of Theoretical Orientations in Clinical Psychology Doctoral Training articles. Be sure to also review the article and the web page, as well as any relevant Instructor Guidance.

For this interactive assignment, you will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist who has recently opened a private practice or begun working for a mental health agency. You are eager to begin working with your ideal client(s), but you first need to market your services. One way to attract clients is to create a professional website that provides an overview of your specialties. 

For this interactive assignment, you may use any website building platform you choose; however, you may wish to use , a free website development platform, to create your website. You may refer to the and read the Instructions for assistance with creating your website should you decide to use Wix as your platform.

Create a fictitious persona based on the role you are assuming and create a website with the following required elements.

Name, Photo, and Credentials: Be sure to include your personas degree, type of license, and any professional membership organizations appropriate to your assumed role. You may also list any appropriate division memberships and certifications applicable to your specialty.

Personal Statement:  Create a 200-word personal statement in which you describe attributes that make your assumed persona, practice, and/or agency unique. Explain to potential clients what problems and/or issues you address and how you could help them in your assumed role. You may also describe why you have chosen this profession and why people choose to work with you.

Specialties: Identify at least three areas in which your persona specializes (e.g., trauma, relationships issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem). Access the APAs page for more information on this topic.

Treatment Preferences: Compare the possible theoretical orientations appropriate to your assumed role, and identify your treatment orientation. Identify which modalities (e.g., individual, couples, family, and/or group) your persona would use with clients. For further assistance with creating this portion of the website, review the Heatherington, et al. (2012) article titled The Narrowing of Theoretical Orientations in Clinical Psychology Doctoral Training.

Client Focus: Describe the population that your assumed persona would primarily serve. Include information regarding age, gender, religious orientations, ethnicities, and/or special populations. List all languages you speak fluently and provide any additional information on cultural specialization your persona may have.

Confidentiality and Limitations: Explain to the client what information will remain confidential in your sessions as well as the limitations of confidentiality. Keep in mind the age of your target population.

Once you have completed your website according to the instructions, copy and paste the URL for your website into the forum for review by your instructor and peers.

1. How are self-esteem and self-concept different? What is the origin of these characteristics? What are the characteristics of children and adults with low self-esteem?

Directions

In this paper complete all the required activities and answer the reflection questions. This assignment will help extend your understanding of the unit topics and concepts to applications in everyday life. Please respond to all of the questions in paragraph form with the question numbers labeled. You should incorporate concepts from the readings into your answers and cite the readings as needed. The paper should be 2-3 pages.

Question 1

Many scholars have analyzed the representation of gender, race, and sexuality in popular culture including two of the assigned readings in this unit. Below is a visual representation of women in popular film production. This study also argues there is an under representation of women in blockbuster film narratives by analyzing DC theaters current showings. Out of the 617 showings, 561 (90%) are stories about men, 31 were movies about ensembles and 25 were movies about women and girls.

Look up the current showings here in your hometown and other metro areas.

• – Briefly mention what is showing, where and how often
• – Who are the stories about?
• – Who are the directors, writers, producers?
• – What do you observe about representation based on gender, race, age, ability, and sexuality in the current showings? You need not watch the films, but the trailers, postings, social media, etc. 

Analyze how this social problem (Domestic Violence Against Men) is discussed in the media. This can include news media, social media, documentary film or celebrity culture. Discuss how the media representation of the problem may rely on stereotypes, invisible/erased histories, and/or intersectional systems of power and privilege.

 Are there limits to this media image of the social problem?

 Is it missing anything from the complexity of the social problem?

 If you dont observe any of these concepts/ideas, explain why you think that is the case.

This paper should be 2-3 pages discussing media and popular culture representations of the social problem. If any sources are used, including the course textbook or required readings, please cite using  APA citation formats.

1. Is teenage pregnancy a social problem? How does this topic reflect the social construction of problems? How does social location impact if you view this as a social problem?
2. Explain why media representation of social problems is an important issue using the example of teenage pregnancy. What is an example of a problematic representation? Does this vary across race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status and gender?
