Week 6 Discussion: Continue Your Discussion The Impact of Psychological Factors During Adolescence

For this discussion, consider the impact of psychological factors during adolescence.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Consider the suicide rate in the adolescent population, which has been increasing. What can social workers do to address or reduce adolescent suicide rates?
• Review Fowler’s theory of faith development. What is your comfort level in assessing faith or applying faith in social work intervention with adolescents?
• Explain which theory of identity formation in adolescence (Erikson’s psychosocial theory, Marcia’s categories of identity, or Glasser’s theories) you find most valuable, and why.
• Consider the movie character you have chosen to analyze for the course assignments. What psychological challenges did this character experience during adolescence, and how would you intervene?

Guidelines

• Your writing: Each post should show courtesy and be succinct, professional, well written, and well organized, using proper writing mechanics, grammar, and punctuation.
