The purpose of this reflection is to ponder your opinion regarding significant challenges currently unaddressed (or only partially addressed) by the field of psychology. In addition, the purpose of this reflection is to look back on your experience taking this course by answering at least two of the provided prompts.
**Step 1: To inspire thought related to your own opinion about unaddressed or under-addressed challenges by the field of psychology, please review some examples below. Your opinion and thought process is what matters in this assignment. Please avoid using the same ideas below, or if one of the ideas below is consistent with your opinion, your paragraph in Step 2 should extend beyond what is discussed below.
* The field of psychology tends to lack effective psychotherapies to help (or help prevent) people at risk of harming others. Through a lens of prevention, we could reduce the painful impact of potential abuse by early detection and intervention of people at risk for abusing others. However, how would we identify these risk factors and effectively intervene prior to an individual harming others?
* Quality of parenting significantly impacts development. The field of psychology has extensive research available regarding effective parenting strategies and how to implement effective parenting strategies. However, many parents receive limited-to-no training or assistance with the demands of parenting and ways to effectively communicate with children through the child’s varying stages of development. How should the field of psychology facilitate access to parenting skills, strategies, and ways to implement good-enough parenting that has a goodness-of-fit between the parent and child?
* Perspective taking is key to empathically understanding others. Patterns of empathy and antipathy tend to be relatively entrenched by 5 years old. In what ways can the field of psychology facilitate perspective taking and empathy development, both of which are fundamental to successful communication in healthy relationships.
Explain how the field of psychology can facilitate the reduction of stigma associated with mental heath and mental health counseling?
**Step 2: In your opinion and in one paragraph, identify and explain what you believe to be the most important challenge the field of psychology has not addressed or has only partially addressed. Explain the details associated with the challenge you identified, and any ideas you may have about addressing the challenge you identified.
