Psychological Foundations in Child Advocacy
Part 1. Considering Freud's psychosexual theory, Erikson's Psychosocial Theory, Social Learning Theory, Piaget's Cognitive Development viewpoint, Evolutionary Theory, Biology, Bronfenbrenner's perspective, Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, and Social Information-Processing viewpoint, discuss a case with which you are familiar through work or your personal life.
Part 2. Describe a familiar child's ability to identify, interpret, and regulate emotions; and his/her temperament. Furthermore, discuss in depth his/her attachment style and how this style affects his/her relationships with adults and peers, as well as how this may have been influenced by caregivers.
Part 3. Describe Bowlby's theory of internal working models. Is there any evidence that these models might be transmitted from parent to child and have long-lasting effects on the character of a person's close relationships later in life? Cite some research to support your claim.
Part 4. Describe the three broad temperamental profiles that Thomas and Ches identified in their classic longitudinal research. Which profile(s) are thought to place children at risk of future adjustment difficulties, and what seems to determine whether or not children with such profiles actually experience adjustment problems?
