Family Therapy: An Early Intervention In Mitigating Pas Oct 2017

Family Therapy: An Early Intervention In Mitigating Pas

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

Children with Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) potentially suffer from negative indoctrination from at least one parent. This results in damaging the bond between the targeted parent and child and in the creation of an emotionally taxing environment for the child. This clinical challenge calls for a review on the dynamics of PAS and the child caught in the crossfire between parents. PAS is difficult to treat because alienated parents don’t realize the harm they are causing to their child. Hence, it is difficult for the alienating parent to change their approach and negative feeding of the rival parent. Thus, court-ordered …


Adolescent Ocd: Healing Through Parent Integration Oct 2017

Adolescent Ocd: Healing Through Parent Integration

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

Adolescent obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is often misdiagnosed and not effectively treated due to a lack of knowledge and resources. One of the main factors that contributes to these misdiagnoses is that there are a limited number of trained clinicians who specialize in adolescent treatment. Comorbidity among the diagnosis of OCD in adolescents also adds to the lack of effective treatment specific to OCD. Often OCD symptoms can remain hidden as these symptoms often manifest as heightened versions of normal behavior in response to normal thoughts and feelings, which may increase during puberty. Effective treatment of adolescent OCD decreases when …


Differences In Disorders: Secondary Disabilities In The Diagnosis Of Adhd And Fasd Oct 2017

Differences In Disorders: Secondary Disabilities In The Diagnosis Of Adhd And Fasd

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

Fetal alcohol syndrome disorder (FASD) is a syndrome affecting some children whose mothers consumed alcohol while pregnant. The effects of FASD are based on genetic predisposition, level of maternal alcohol consumption, fetal age during alcohol consumption and the over-all health of the mother and fetus. Psychologists have compared FASD with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and found that they differ in two major areas: motor skills and cognitive performance. Without recognizing differences and diagnosing the disorders correctly, doctors may allow symptoms to go untreated. These untreated symptoms may lead to secondary disabilities and result in incorrectly prescribed medications. With more research, …


The Effects Of Daily Media Consumption On Adolescent Girls Oct 2017

The Effects Of Daily Media Consumption On Adolescent Girls

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

Media infiltrates society so heavily that it can seem impossible to go an entire hour without viewing several different platforms of media. This paper seeks to explore the effects that daily media consumption has on teenage girls, as well as which types of media can be a foundation for eating disorders, self-esteem problems, loss of identity and heightened jealousy. An additional focus is how much of each media type can be consumed before these effects are evident.Through examining studies that investigate the effects of Facebook, music videos, fashion magazines and television shows, evidence suggests that adolescent girls experience negative effects …

The Influence Of Group Dynamics On Eating Disorders

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

Eating disorders can have a devastating effect on individuals both physically and psychologically. For this reason, it is important to under- stand diverse factors, including group dynamics, that affect the development of eating disorders. I examined the influence of group dynamics on whether eating disorders are viewed as acceptable. Further understanding of social influence may enhance the prevention of eating disorders.


The Use Of Ect As A Standard Treatment For Mdd, George Major Oct 2017

The Use Of Ect As A Standard Treatment For Mdd, George Major

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

The arsenal of effective, standardized treatment options for major depressive disorder (MDD) is shockingly low considering one in three individuals in the Unit- ed States will experience clinical depression during their lifetime (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). MDD is usually limited to drug therapy and cognitive therapy, and alternative treatment methods are often disregarded as ineffective or unethical. This review explores the possibility of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as an alternative standard treatment for MDD. ECT has been used for decades for the treatment of mood disorders, but only recently has the medical community begun to understand how ECT affects the brain. …


A Brief Background Of Pornography And Its Effects On Physical, Psychological, And Emotional Health In Youth, Rebecca Nufer Oct 2017

A Brief Background Of Pornography And Its Effects On Physical, Psychological, And Emotional Health In Youth, Rebecca Nufer

Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology

The prevalence of pornography has been on the rise for several decades and the effects are becoming more prominent every day due to the accessibility, afford- ability, and lack of accountability associated with pornography use. It has, thereby, become more available to people of all ages, especially children and adolescents.This paper attempts to show that the viewing of pornography by children and adolescents is harmful to their development, both physically and emotionally. Group and individual therapy, as well as more parental control over what is viewed on the Internet, will be suggested as a way of overcoming or preventing pornography …
