Nevertheless, I was impressed by Harrison’s in-depth detail. It is often that a criminal may suffer from a mental health illness; it explains their behavioural patterns. Harrison does not assume that Brady was schizophrenic immediately, instead he leads into this by exploring aspects of life that may have been the slow progression into schizophrenia. Although, Harrison provided incredible detail; he is not a psychologist. Therefore, his analysis lacks specialis...
After taking this class, it would be impossible to see things, specially people or myself, the same way. Whether or not the intention of the class is to provide self-improvement information, it would be impossible for the student to ignore the issues, disorders, etc., identified throughout this fast-paced plethora of information. Of course what the student decides to retains is obviously subjective; which lead us to the application of the stress and health profiles. After the completion of the scales provided, and the grading associated, it would be hard not to realize how we can better our lives, if we make minor adjustments in our way of life. I for one, personalized a large part of this information, something I probably would not have been able to do, at least at the same level, back when I was a young adult.

Mark’s first peculiar behavior started near his college. He had chosen a place where he knew people would notice him bearing a microwave across the campus. He hurled the microwave straight at a glass window at a deli. After doing this, he ran to the salad bar inside the deli and dumped all the toppings and dressings to the floor. The unusual thing about this is that after the chaos he created, he patiently waited for the police to come and arrest him. Following the incident, his mother was contacted causing her and others to wonder whether he was being affected by the ‘college life’. What no one knew about Mark was that he heard voices inside his head that told him what to do, and that he was slowly becoming a victim to one of the many mental illnesses present in this world.

Honestly the score was higher than expected and rather stressful just knowing. In a strange way this last statement should be taken as a joke. After reading the article, Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient, humor will have to become a priority in my life. The relationship I have with my son's father will not improve any time soon. I need to develop stronger coping skills that do not allow his troubles affect or effect us, such as detachment.
The students in my group are reading at an oral reading level of 2nd/3rd grade. Comprehension is accurate at this level. Each student that I will be working with was given a Learning Style Assessment, an ‘I’ Graph to chart how well they feel they perform in certain areas, and a Learning Interest Survey. The ‘I’ Graph asked each student to create a bar graph, coloring each column to represent how they felt they were able to perform in each area. All five of the students indicated that reading was an area they needed to work on, though only one student felt she wasn’t good at it. Most of the students felt that they were good at reading but only if they worked hard. All the students indicated that they were more confident in Math, Science and History. Social activities like being a friend or singing were given higher scores by all the students. One of the students gave himself very low scores in all academic areas and only fair scores in the extracurricular. He is the lowest of my readers and the one that also receives day treatment services for behavioral difficulties. He does not have confidence in his abilities and approaches all activities carefully. He works better in a small group and it is in this setting that he shines. The students took this assessment very seriously and they gave a lot of thought to each response. All the students gave their highest scores to the question on how you rate yourself as a friend. I was pleased
