Assessment is as essential to family therapy as it is to individual therapy. Although families often present with one person identified as the problem, the assessment process will help you better understand family roles and determine whether the identified problem client is in fact the root of the familys issues. As you examine the Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos in this weeks Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat the client family. Learning Objectives Assess client families presenting for psychotherapy To prepare: Review this weeks Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on family assessment. View the Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos, and consider how you might assess the family in the case study. Note: For guidance on writing a comprehensive client assessment, refer to pages 137142 of Wheeler (2014) in this weeks Learning Resources. The Assignment Address in a comprehensive client assessment of the Hernandez family the following: ory Psychosocial history History of abuse and/or trauma Review of systems Physical assessment Mental status exam Differential diagnosis Case formulation Treatment plan Note: Any item you are unable to address from the video should be marked needs to be added to as you would in an actual comprehensive client assessment

This week we’re going to be discussing one of the characteristic elements of the Renaissance: the importance for the scholars and philosophers of the time to find a way to reconcile reason and faith (rationality vs unsupported belief).The Renaissance came on the heels of an age steeped in belief and faith, bounded by the dictates of the medieval church, which rigorously suppressed and sought to erase any knowledge or thought which might weaken or threaten its supreme position and importance. With the Renaissance, however, came a change, a fascination with newly-available writings from the classical period of Greco-Roman thought and from Islam, which had maintained those writings and expanded on the knowledge they contained.The Roman’s held that reason, rationality, and the empirical method were the primary ways with which man could seek to understand the world – the knowable/observable. The Catholic church was based in faith, in belief. So the Renaissance scholars faced a conflict between the knowledge and the unknowable.So let’s update the question a bit. For rationality, reason, and the empirical method, let’s say science. So the question now becomes science vs faith.Which do you think about the question of science vs faith? For example, which do you think is the most important? Most relevant? Do you think that faith is threatened by science?If you quote or paraphrase from a research source other than the course materials, use an informal citation (title, author, page or website) in parentheses.Failure to do this is plagiarism, and will earn 0 points.Remember that religion is a very touchy subject, and this forum is not the place for proselytizing, ranting, or any other form of disrespect for the opinions and beliefs of your classmates. If I see a post which violates these rules, it will be deleted, and that student will get a 0 for the assignment.For full credit, post your own contribution to the discussion, and respond to another student’s post.Jesus Response:The way I like to personally think about this discussion is that both faith and science should always be two separate categories to be left alone. Neither one should try and disprove or restrain one another. I hope I can at least get somewhat of a grade if I say that neither are most important. There are possible phenomenons around the world that neither science or religion can explain. Instead, I think everyone should continue respecting each others beliefs whether its faith or science that they believe in. If possible, maybe everyone can try and at least reconcile with both and continue to respect. Whether you believe in faith or science no one or any entity should restrain one’s beliefs2.
Write a journal entry on the Oration on the Dignity of Man by Govanni Pico della Mirandola.The answer to each question must be at least 50 words:Which part or idea or concept in the reading was most interesting to you? Why?
Did the reading help you to understand the people, culture and religion of Renaissance Italy? Why? Why not?
Your general comments about the reading.
If you could say one thing, or ask one question, of Pico della Mirandola, what would it be?
The purpose of these journal entries is for you to engage and interact with the readings. Im interested in your ideas, your reactions, your thoughts. Grading focuses on completeness rather than content (provided you make an effort to answer the questions thoughtfully). If you quote or paraphrase from any research sources other than the course materials, use an informal citation (title, author, page, website) in parentheses. Failure to do this is plagiarism, and will earn 0 points.3.
You are required to visit a museum or attend a concert and write an essay about it.If you go to a museum, try to make sure it is one which has paintings and/or sculpture from the periods which we are covering in class (prehistoric to late Renaissance). Same thing for music–the concert must feature music from the periods which we are covering in class. However, if you visit a museum or attend a concert with modern art or music, YOU MUST relate it to the art or music of the periods we are studying.You will be required to provide me with your ticket and a program (if available). Be sure to put your name on the ticket or program. You will write a 1000 word essay about the museum or concert. The essay can focus on the visit as a whole, or on specific pieces of art or music, or both. You can include:How it feels to see and hear, in person, what youve been reading about this semester
Specific elements of the period (for example, classical or Renaissance) which you recognize in the work(s) of art or music
Why you chose the museum or concert you visited/attended
Compare/contrast the modern art or music youve seen or heard with the art or music of the periods were studying
What influences of the past (specifically the periods were studying) can you detect and identify in the modern art or music

Obviously, no use at all. But Podsnap’s Technique had immensely accelerated the process of ripening. They could make sure of at least a hundred and fifty mature eggs within two years. Fertilize and bokanovskifyin other words, multiply by seventy-twoand you get an average of nearly eleven thousand brothers and sisters in a hundred and fifty batches of identical twins, all within two years of the same age.
“And in exceptional cases we can make one ovary yield us over fifteen thousand adult individuals.”For of course,” said Mr. Foster, “in the vast majority of cases, fertility is merely a nuisance. One fertile ovary in twelve hundredthat would really be quite sufficient for our purposes. But we want to have a good choice. And of course one must always have an enormous margin of safety. So we allow as many as thirty per cent of the female embryos to develop normally. The others get a dose of male sex-hormone every twenty-four metres for the rest of the course. Result: they’re decanted as freemartinsstructurally quite normal (except,” he had to admit, “that they do have the slightest tendency to grow beards), but sterile. Guaranteed sterile. Which brings us at last,” continued Mr. Foster, “out of the realm of mere slavish imitation of nature into the much more interesting world of human invention.”
“We also predestine and condition. We decant our babies as socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewage workers or future ” He was going to say “future World controllers,” but correcting himself, said “future Directors of Hatcheries,” instead.
if they could discover a technique for shortening the period of maturation what a triumph, what a benefaction to Society!

Eugenics was the racist pseudoscience determined to wipe away all human beings deemed “unfit,” preserving only those who conformed to a Nordic stereotype. Elements of the philosophy were enshrined as national policy by forced sterilization and segregation laws, as well as marriage restrictions, enacted in twenty-seven states.
Eugenics was born as a scientific curiosity in the Victorian age. In 1863, Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, theorized that if talented people only married other talented people, the result would be measurably better offspring
The superior species the eugenics movement sought was populated not merely by tall, strong, talented people. Eugenicists craved blond, blue-eyed Nordic types. This group alone, they believed, was fit to inherit the earth. In the process, the movement intended to subtract emancipated Negroes, immigrant Asian laborers, Indians, Hispanics, East Europeans, Jews, dark-haired hill folk, poor people, the infirm and really anyone classified outside the gentrified genetic lines drawn up by American raceologists.How? By identifying so-called “defective” family trees and subjecting them to lifelong segregation and sterilization programs to kill their bloodlines. The grand plan was to literally wipe away the reproductive capability of those deemed weak and inferior–the so-called “unfit.” The eugenicists hoped to neutralize the viability of 10 percent of the population at a sweep, until none were left except themselves.

Function and Origin of the Crispr/Cas9 System e CRISPR/Cas9 system exists in nature as a prokaryotic immune system that confers resistance to foreign genetic elements such as plasmids and bacterial viruses [1,2]. CRISPR refers to clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats consisting in short repetitions of DNA sequences followed by short segments of spacer DNA originated as result of exposition to a bacterial virus or plasmid. ecas (CRISPR-associated) genes code for nuclease or helicase proteins associated to CRISPR repeats with the function of cutting or unwind DNA [3]. CRISPR system functions storing DNA sequences from invaded viruses or plasmid and when the same type of virus invades again, the system recognizes it using the transcribed RNA sequences and directs a cas nuclease to cut the DNA. Cas9 was isolated from bacterium Streptococus pyogenes and is a nuclease able to cut DNA in two active cutting sites at each strand of the double helix of the DNA. Doudna and Charpentier discover that bacteria respond to invading phages by transcribing spacers and palindromic DNA into a long RNA molecule which is cut into pieces (called crRNAs) by using trans-activating RNA (tracrRNA) and protein Cas9 [4]. Later it was discover that the combination of tracrRNA and spacer RNA into a single guideRNA mixed with Cas9 could be programmed to find and cut specific target DNA segments, thus provided with the ability of gene editing
e CRISPR/Cas9 system has many potential applications due to its ability to cut the DNA of any genome at any desired location by introducing the cas9 protein and appropriate guide DNA into a cell [7,8]. e system has the ability for genome editing and gene regulation in many types of organisms facilitating the function elucidation of target genes in biology and diseases. (cient genome editing has been demonstrated in multiple organisms, including bacteria, plants, insects, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals [9-12]. Feng Zhang in 2013 achieved for the first time the genome editing intervention of human cells by engineering a novel version of CRISPR/ Cas9 [13]. CRISPR/Cas9 system can be engineered for many desired functions [14]. e system can introduce DNA in the germline of any organism, and modify somatic genes by genomic editing. CRISPR/Cas9 has been modified to program specific transcription factors to target and activate or silence specific genes [15]. A CRISPR interference platform has been developed for gene silencing, regulating gene expression by binding to the non-template DNA strand of the coding region blocking the transcription elongation process [15]. CRISPR/Cas9 can also inactivate genes inhibiting their transcription by methylation of targeted DNA [16]. CRISPR/Cas9 can be used to create animal models for research to mimic diseases or study development by mutating or silencing genes. For example, a mouse model have been developed to test the deleterious eects of mutations in cancer by introducing loss of
function mutations in tumor suppressor genes or gaining of function in proto-oncogenes [13]. e animals can be created at the germline level, changing DNA at specific targeted level or anywhere in the genome [17]. Cellular models of human diseases have been created using CRISPR/Cas9 [18]. CRISPR/Cas9 has been also used eciently to induce genomic alterations in plants improving crop quality or introducing disease resistance [19-23].
Ethical Issues Balance of risks and EHQHtsAn important ethical issue in research is that benefits must be greater than risks. Greater attention must be place on risks, since they may damage living beings or the environment. e application of CRISPR/Cas9 technique involves risks since it may produce o target mutations, which can be deleterious. A high frequency of o target eects has been found in human cells, but low in mice and zebrafish [32,33]. One problem is that large genomes may contain multiple DNA sequences identical or highly homologous to intended target DNA sequence. CRISPR/Cas9 may cleave also these unintended sequences causing mutations which may cause cell death or transformation [34,35]. (orts have been made to reduce o target mutations, but further improvement is needed, especially for precise modifications needed for therapeutic interventions [10,12,36]. Another important problem is the ecient safe delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 into cell types or tissues that are hard to transfect and/or infect.

Assisted Death: Rights, Obligations, and Conscientious Objection
In Chapter 4, Professional Ethics, read the following two articles:
The Nature and Limits of Professional Autonomy and Professional Responsibility
– Patient and Physician Autonomy: Conflicting Rights and Obligations in the Physician-Patient Relationship, Edmund D. Pellegrino
Why Medical Professionals Have No Moral Claim to Conscientious Objection Accommodation in Liberal Democracies, Udo Schuklenk and Ricardo Smalling
Define the following terms: liberal democracy, professional autonomy, professional responsibility, conscientious objection.
Summarize what the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states about freedom of conscience and religion. In the Supreme Court of Canada decision about assisted death, which part of the Charter was used to justify assisted death as a right?
What approach does Pellegrino take in his exploration of the moral conflicts that exist between patients and physicians regarding autonomy? What approach do Schuklenk and Smalling take in their exploration of the moral conflicts that exist between patients and physicians regarding autonomy?
As one who delivers health care, what recommendations would you make to find the middle ground where rights and obligations are in conflict?

An ongoing theme of our course has been to look at how interdisciplinary teams collaborate to create the built environment. What role has digital technology played in the emergence of a new kind of building design? How have innovations related to digital technology changed the practice of architecture and construction? Please use specific examples of architects, engineers, (contractors or fabricators, if applicable and possible) and projects.
LESSONS FROM PREVIOUS WRITING ASSIGNMENTS and RESPONSES
1. Your writing assignment should possess a clear, concise thesis. It is unnecessary to list facts about a building or an architect unless they support this specific thesis. In fact, adding superfluous information only distracts your reader from your argument. Your assignment does not need to be long. Please do not include anecdotal information in your response.
2. Use language and tone appropriate for academic writing.
3. Please cite your sources. You can use other people’s writing to prove your point. Keep in mind how
often David Celanto cites his sources in his article titled, “Innovate or Perish: New Technologies and
Architectures Future.”
