From the Paper
"One day on the football field he grabbed a smaller boy from behind, wrapped his arms around him and clenching his hands together, lifted him high in the air and squeezed. A cracking noise was heard and the boy fell to the ground with internal injuries and a rib broken. Tom declared he had only been horsing around, but some of the other boys claimed he was angry at the boy for teasing him. It was not the first time Tom had been known to do something physical in retaliation for teasing."
"The principal met with the School Board, court officials, a doctor and the school mental health counselor. Tom was removed from the football team, suspended from school and ordered to see a behavioral therapist for counseling."

Abstract
The paper provides summaries of three articles about development of teachers, noting different aspects of the issue, different approaches taken, research conducted and surveys of teachers for their views. The paper presents the three articles; "Professional development for the teacher, of the teacher and by the teacher," "Teacher-to-teacher professional development through state-sponsored networks" and "The cooperating teacher role and career development."
From the Paper
"The authors discuss current ways of achieving teacher development, beginning with a meeting at the beginning of each school year, though the writers also find that most professional development ignores the teachers and operates at a different level. Restructuring and reform have been the watchwords since 1983, but the authors find that the program has not worked. They recommend instead an approach called SITTI - School Innovation Through Teacher Interaction - that was developed by Pierce and Hunsaker in 1995. This is a cyclical model beginning with a common vision, identifying the needs of the faculty, establishing "experts" among the faculty who will act on the needs, and providing a support through peer coaching."

From the Paper
"The purpose of the paper is to provide a concise exploration of the inception and development of counseling psychology from various perspectives. Most significantly, this discussion will highlight the unique characteristics of counseling psychology which distinguish it from clinical psychology, another specialty in the field of psychology. Because the two specialties share the same theoretical knowledge and practices, counseling psychology has often been subsumed under the field of clinical psychology. By catering to a population that ... "

Abstract
This paper explores a federal research grant to study questions in the field of counseling psychology. The author first sets the stage with an already conducted study, using its findings as a base from which to work. The paper relates that the study, which the author would conduct, combines qualitative and quantitative methods to study the incidence and effect of empathic counseling methods, which would contribute to the field significantly by providing a more reasonable determination of the nature of counseling methods and draw some conclusions about their effectiveness.
From the Paper
"Having just received a federal research grant in the field of psychology - more specifically, counseling psychology - it now falls to me to demonstrate my ability to formulate an appropriate research project that will make a significant contribution to the field. That said, it is my intention to expound upon a recent study that was done (Carlozzi et al, 2002) that examined the relationship between theory, practice, and empathy for counselors and psychologists. Understanding the role that empathy plays for psychologists is important on both a theoretical and practical level. This paper will first present the results of the study mentioned above as a basis for my subsequent explanation of my own research intent. My work will help quantify both the incidence and importance of counselor empathy and has the potential to suggest some new theoretical approaches to the issue."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the connection between theology and psychology in Christian counseling. The benefits of combining these two disparate studies and practices is then discussed. Following this examination, the paper presents ways in which Christian counselors may use these findings in order to better their practices and better heal their patients.
The author claims to rely on current research in addition to classic texts of psychoanalysis such as Freud's. The goal of Christian counselling is seen as a positive integration of psychological texts and the Bible.
From the Paper
"Research indicates that after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans have grasped for the healing associated with Christian counseling. Like Herrod, these Americans are flocking to counseling that incorporates a spiritual or religious element, most often of the Christian variety. Over the last decade, in fact, faith-based therapies--from pastoral counseling to ecumenical Christian counseling to fundamentalist Bible--based treatment have absolutely rocketed in popularity, according to Paul's research. (Paul. 2005)
As evidence, the American Association of Christian Counselors has grown from 15,000 members in 1999 to 50,000 today. Specialized services are also thriving: It is becoming increasingly easy to find Christian-based eating disorder treatment centers or Christian life coaches. (Paul, 2005)"

Methodology
From the Paper
"The nature of the human condition means that there are spiritual, physiological, psychological, and sociocultural components involved. In order to live a complete life, then, requires a healthy spiritual component as well as mental and physical well-being. The challenges facing counselors today, then, is to develop a framework that approaches the individual from this holistic perspective. According to Becvar (1997), the fields of psychology and theology tend to overlap, because "tending to the soul in human beings goes far beyond science" (p. 270). Healthcare providers have tended to exclude spirituality from their delivery models in recent years, but the apparent value of prayer and Christian counseling in these settings has caused many clinicians to reassess what people really need when they are sick and scared."

Abstract
Examines the differences between the two schools of psychology. Community as grounded in roots of ecological psychology & the social sciences. Traditional as based upon principles of psychoanalysis, behaviorism & humanistic psychotherapies. Uses actor Robert Downey, Jr. and his chronic substance abuse problems to illustrate how both schools of psychology would analyze his difficulties.
From the Paper
"Community psychology is a specialization within a larger realm encompassing psychology and the social sciences that is grounded in the roots of ecological psychology (What is community psychology..., 2000). Traditional psychology, on the other hand, is based upon fundamental principles of psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanistic psychotherapies (Garfield & Bergin, 1986). The two approaches differ in terms of views, values, and focus. The purpose of this report is to examine the differences between these two schools of psychology with reference to a specific individual seeking help for a life problem. The individual selected is the well-known actor, Robert Downey, Jr., whose substance abuse problems have been tracked in the popular press over the course of the last several years."

An analysis and evaluation of biblical counseling integration methods within the scope of modern psychology.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the various facets of biblical counseling in relation to the modern integration of psychology within a religious construct. The paper points out that, in many cases, there is evidence that the Bible provides moral and ethical foundations that can work with the various aspects of psychological counseling methods. It looks at how, by analyzing some of the biblical counseling terms found within this field, one can provide the psychological aspects of non-religious counseling that correlate with these Bible's analogies and moral lessons. In essence, the paper demonstrates how biblical counseling can work in tandem with modern psychological theories, since they work within the moral and ethical integration of societal values in modern times.
From the Paper
"The Biblical counseling term "Frovnhma" is a central aspect to Biblical counseling theory, especially though the innovations for religious counseling brought forth by Lawrence Crabb. Although Crabb does not portray a uniquely differential perspective for theologically based counseling, he invariably has designed in accordance with Freud's ideas about the unconscious. For Crabb, the Frovnhma is essentially the mind in relation to how God perceives the human will or way of thought. In many ways, there is a decidedly similar aspect of Crabb's theory that correlates with Sigmund Freud's theory of the "unconscious"--a term used for the deeper part of the mind that absorbs all thoughts and experiences."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Entering the educational section of any decently sized library proves very quickly that the Western world entertains a glut of information regarding problems in modern education, teaching styles, leadership methods and prerogatives, and the politics and power struggles inherent in schools. Considering the availability and abundance of even simple, easy-to-read primers on educational and classroom theory, it is certainly a testament to the inefficiency and apathy created within our school system that there does not exist a more active debate both within the system and between the system and its students and parental figures over choice of theories and practices. Certainly, the populace has every appearance of being aware of the studies and statistics that make up the alarmist cross-cut of research. Many parents, teachers, and children will be able to volunteer the opinion that schools are decaying and inefficient, that America is a global failure in education, and that little learning takes place within schools. (A social cynic would point out that these lessons are often glossed in the evening news, and their alarmist nature requires little research to be believed by a gullible public)."

From the Paper
"Tumultuous legal arguments, for instance, surround such issues as prayer in school, the appearance of the word, "God," in our pledge of allegiance and a historical representation of the Ten Commandments on the property of a state government building. Most succinctly, governments - federal, state and local - are allowed to do nothing that will further the acceptance of a state religion, or stymie the furtherance of another religion."
