As part of the Freudian Unconscious file exercises in this section (Exercises: The Freudian Unconscious) we asked you for a Freudian interpretation of a dream (please refer to this as Dream #1) that I have provided. In this discussion, I would like you to present your own “Freudian” interpretation(s). Also, state your reasons or justifications for your particular interpretation(s). Your grade for this discussion will be based on your addressing these two points.
Given that there may be a limited number of such interpretations (and that other students might have already presented your interpretation), you may also choose the following dreams to interpret. In order for us to keep things straight, please refer to the specific Dream # in your posts. Thanks.
Dream #2 (female respondent):“Had gone with a friend to a church I had never visited. I accidentally left my purse on one of the pews after going to sit and talk to someone I recognized a few pews in front of me. When I realized I had left my purse, I went to go get it and realized that my money had been taken. I thought how could this have happened in church? I acted in a very ugly manner (voice-wise) and I woke up. (Strange right!?)”
Dream #3 (male respondent):“I had a wreck on a motorcycle. It cut off my left foot and my right toes completely. The next day, I went to work with casts on both legs.”

WU Controversy Associated with Dissociative Disorders Essay
/0 Comments/in Writing /by bonniejecintaQuestion
The DSM-5-TR is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the DSM-5-TR, and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder.
In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.

IHP 340 NEIT The Happy Planet Index Statistics Question
/0 Comments/in Mathematics /by bonniejecintaQuestion
Overview
The website TED.com offers free short presentations called TED Talks, which cover a variety of interesting subjects. One of the talks is titled The Happy Planet Index. In it, Nic Marks comments that we regularly measure and report economic data on countries, such as gross national product, when we really ought to be measuring the well-being of the people in the countries. He calls this measure “Happiness,” and the larger the number in a country, the greater the level of happiness, health, and well-being. In addition, Marks believes we ought to be measuring the ecological footprint per capita of the country, with larger numbers indicating greater use of resources (such as gas and electricity) and more damage to the planet. Both variables are quantitative (continuous).

For this short paper assignment, complete the following:
Yoga videos
/0 Comments/in Writing /by bonniejecintaQUESTION
Part of the requirements of this class is exercise. As the Catalog QUESTION states, “A combination of physical activity and lecture providing regular exercise to develop physical fitness.”
You are required to exercise 3 times per week.
Each week I will provide 3 recorded yoga classes so you can exercise at home at your convenience.
Each class is approximately 35-50 minutes long.
When you have completed all three classes you will submit your answers to the following questions.
What did you enjoy about each of the three classes? Please designate each class. For example, in Class #1: I enjoyed the feeling of relaxation after I was done taking the class. I enjoyed the shoulder stretches because I have limited movement in my shoulders. I had a difficult time with the one-legged balance. You may discuss specific poses and exercises that you experienced in each of the videos. You will say something about each class. Please talk specifically about the classes so I know you are practicing along with each video.
What was difficult about the class, or did anything hurt? Be specific. For example, in Class #1: I can’t sit cross-legged on the floor. Is there another way I can complete the exercise without my legs hurting? That way I can help. You may also ask a question and I will answer your question in the comments area when I grade your weekly exercise assignment.
