2. Personal Statement Having majored in Business Management and psychological studies as an undergraduate, I would now like to concentrate on juvenile criminal justice. I am especially interested in children’s advocacy, the juvenile justice system, children and violence, and the psychological welfare of children. My personal child advocacy projects have involved some combination of these subjects. For the oral section of my comprehensive exams, I specialized in current day cases on children and violence. The relationship between "children" and war became the subject for my final project, which examined Ishmael Beah's use of innocence, fear, determination, and resilience in his memoir. I plan to work further on this project, referencing other authors and perhaps preparing a paper suitable for publication. In my studies toward a doctoral degree, I hope to examine more closely the relationship between children and violence. My private studies of psychology and the criminal justice system have caused me to consider the question of where the divisions between crime and cause lie. I would like to resume my studies of psychology, with special attention to juvenile criminal justice elements. Humanity also figures prominently in my personal, academic and professional goals. I have begun mission journals and am gradually building a working manuscript for a collection. The dominant theme of this collection relies on experiences that draw from travel, cause of mission, and people on other end of mission, as well as everyday experiences, celebrating the process of giving, and one’s purpose in life. My humanitarianism draws from family values and influences my academic studies. Much of what I read and study fosters my creative work and helps me ascertain what may be needed in various situations. I study psychology by taking part in discussions, group sessions, experimenting with the tools used by psychologists, authors in the past and other creative processes. In terms of a career, I see myself consulting, writing, and counseling within the criminal justice and law enforcement industry. Doctoral studies would be valuable to me in several ways. First, a counseling internship program would provide me with the practical experience I am eager to acquire. Further, earning a PsyD. in Psychology and Criminal Justice would advance my career goals by adding to my skills, both critically and creatively, in working with law enforcement. Ultimately, however, I see the PsyD. as an end in itself, as well as a professional stepping stone; I enjoy studying psychology for its own sake and would like to continue my studies on the level demanded by a PsyD. Program.

29. Foundations of Psychology To: Supervisor April 19, 2010 From: Christina Alexander, PSY494 –Spring II (2010) Subject: Handout on Dual Treatment sessions Per our conversation, I have attached a copy of both the recruitment handout as well as the power point presentation for your review. It is my plan to focus primarily on the circumstantial causes of depression that lead to drinking and/or drugging. By pointing out the causes, the inmates will be able to identify them and relate their feelings to the circumstances. We will then suggest alternative coping skills for the inmates. As you will find in the power point presentation, we have planned an outlined treatment plan to include motivational enhancement programs, cognitive-behavioral coping skills therapy, and 12 step facilitation therapy. The attached brochure is an example of one of the enhancement programs offered. I look forward to your reply in this matter. It is my hope that we are ready to move forward with this exciting, new, innovative plan. # # #
