You must state and support your opinions using information from lectures and chapter readings. More points are awarded the more you incorporate from lectures and the textbook, and more points are awarded for originality. You are giving a personal opinion – there are no right or wrong answers.

20 page Freud and Philosophy Paper due on May 6 2019

/in /by

DUE MAY 6 2019

Freud, Sigmund. The Freud Reader, edited by Peter Gay. New York: W.W. Norton, 1989. *USE THIS BOOK*

Need 2 Scholarly article sources

on 2 of the themes presented in the instructions

Write a 20-page essay on an aspect of Freud’s theory that you find interesting.  It must be something for which there is substantive explanation within Freud’s writings, and you will need to explain Freud’s views in detail with reference to Freud’s texts.  Structure your discussion on a clear thesis, i.e. take a position and use the paper to defend that position. Also, you must use at least two secondary sources in your paper, but preferably more.  Integrate the secondary source(s), as well as any quotations from Freud’s texts, into your argument coherently and responsibly.  Use the posted section from the Bedford Handbook to guide your use of quotations and citations.

2 possible approaches: Focus on a theme that you find interesting: repression, symptoms, the unconscious, dreams, narcissism, mourning, group psychology, totem and taboo, etc.  Re-read those assignments and do a search for secondary sources on the issue.  I will also be happy to recommend other texts by Freud that relate to the issue.  After working-through this material, formulate a defensible thesis. Browse the databases of secondary sources.  You might find that after reading Freud’s texts themselves, you disagree with the author of an article that you read.  In this case, you can present Freud’s ideas as you see them, explain the other author’s interpretation, and then articulate why he or she is wrong.  On the other hand, you may agree with an author’s interpretation, and this may have taught you something about another aspect of Freudian theory.  So, you could present the author’s interpretation and then discuss its broader implications in the context of Freud’s texts on the issues.  Again, you’ll need to base the discussion on a clear thesis.

*Please do not use quotations excessively.  Choose the minimum amount that needs to be quoted in order to make your point.

*Only quote passages that are relevant, and comment on the quotation so that the importance of the quote is obvious to your reader.

*Always embed quotations within grammatically-correct sentences. 

*Always correctly cite the quotation.

*Please use page numbers in the top right corner from page two onward.

*Please double-space, using size-10, Times New Roman font

*Consider splitting up your paper into sections, with section headings. 

Please see me after class or in my office, if you would like to discuss the material or get some other advice on writing the paper. 

PLEASE READ THE UNIVERSITY HONESTY POLICY, AND DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THE INTERNET FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN ACCESSING VALID ACADEMIC SECONDARY SOURCES.

U3D2  Collapse         

The assessment I chose for future assignments is the Dean Woodcock Neuropsychological Battery. Reliability for this assessment was found to range from “.45 – 1.00” with a median of .85. Dean & Woodcock (2003) note that these finding suggest an “adequate to excellent rater agreement” for most tests included in the Dean Woodcock Neuropsychological Battery.

The authors note that reliability data is limited for this assessment, particularly with respect to its interview and emotional status exam. Dean and Woodcock also touch on the fact that validity is also limited in this assessment because of its relatively recent release. Because of this there have been few validation studies conducted, and future research needs to be obtained so as to establish stronger reliability and validity with more generalized groups of individuals.

Research and Critique a Qualitative Study

/in /by

 

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, be sure to have read all the required resources for the week.

Locate a peer-reviewed qualitative research study in the Ashford University Library on the topic you chose in Week One for your Final Research Proposal. You may choose to use a qualitative study that was included in the literature review you used in the Week One assignment by searching the reference list for qualitative research studies on the topic. It is also acceptable to utilize a qualitative research study on your topic that was not included in your literature review.

Once you have located an appropriate qualitative study, identify the specific qualitative research design used. Summarize the main points of the study including information on the research question, sampling strategy, research design, data analysis method(s), findings, and conclusion(s). Evaluate the published qualitative research study focusing on and identifying the researcher’s paradigm or worldview and any evidence of reflexivity described in the report. Explain whether or not potential biases were adequately addressed by the researchers. Describe how the researchers applied ethical principles in the research study.

The Research and Critique a Qualitative Study Must be three double-spaced pages in length
