Case Study: Jeannette
Treating patients appropriately demands that providers foster an environment in which patients can be candid about their health conditions. It should be viewed as a positive first step that Jeanette and her mother disclosed the fact that they have been using a Haitian voodoo priestess (mambo) coming to the house to treat Jeanette. Unfortunately, many of the herbs used in such traditional practices are not only ineffective, but can be potentially dangerous, particularly if mixed with conventional medical treatments such as antidepressants (Kelak, Cheah, & Safii, 2018). Mental health issues such as posttraumatic stress disorder can be confusing and frightening for a family, and using traditional medicine may be comforting to people like Jeanette’s mother. It may also be less traumatic to think of her daughter as cursed rather than as suffering from a mental illness.

A second principle is respect for autonomy. Behavioral analysts often deal with vulnerable populations, such as the mentally ill, elderly, or child. But this does not mean that subjects sacrifice their autonomy, simply because they are not always able to easily articulate their own wants … choose what rewards are granted in an applied behavioral system, but on an even larger ethical level, clinicians should allow at least older child and competent adults to give input into how much they want their behavior shaped.
For example, a child on the autistic spectrum who has intense interests should have a degree of input into how much he is permitted to talk about … he is permitted to talk about those interests, rather than making the goal of the behavioral analysis to entirely eliminate aspects of the child’s personality and life that he believes are integral to his character,……

As Domhardt, Munzer, Fegert and Goldbeck (2015) have shown, even one of the most awful experiences imaginable—child sexual abuse and its attendant trauma—can be overcome if there is adequate social support for the child.

...Child psychology Six Fundamental Pillars of Character
Today, the notion of what factors comprise a good character for humans is undergoing some profoundly significant challenges as the nation’s top leadership struggles to respond to the ongoing Covid-19 global pandemic in an honest and forthright fashion. Moreover, the demographic composition of the United States and many other Western nations has experienced significant changes in recent years, introducing a number of cross-cultural factors that are used to define good character. Against this backdrop, it is important for individuals to apply their critical thinking skills to develop their own conceptualization of character. To this end, the purpose of this paper is to provide a list of six fundamental pillars of character: integrity, dependability, responsible, patriotic, open-minded and considerate of others. The critical analysis the follows below examines how these pillars of character can be used to assess the extent to which people satisfy these characteristics……

Now that resilience theory is in its maturity, it has been applied … resilience theory was first proposed, it was considered a “cutting edge…paradigm shift,” (Van Breda, 2018, p. 1). Now, the so-called strengths-based approaches to psychology have become commonplace. Resilience theory can help any individual or organization thrive in an uncertain, chaotic, and complex world.
What Is Resilience?
Resilience … not an inborn trait; it is learned. Among theorists of resilience, “all agree that resilience is not a special quality that only some child are born with,” (Shean, 2015, p. 26).
