Studies also show that psychotherapy is necessary to supplement and optimize the effects of medication (Steinkuller and Rheineck 338). Cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients manage the disorder by replacing negative behaviors with positive ones.

Mental health professionals practice active listening and encourage the client to express their feelings. Mental health counselors develop and implement treatment plans based on the client’s physical or mental condition. Client information is collected through interviews, observations or tests which guide counselors in the development of therapeutic information strategies that will help clients deal with their problems by targeting at-risk behaviors which promotes optimum mental and emotional well-being of the client (Erford, 2010).

Competent multicultural mental health professionals play a key role in success of mental health counseling interventions (Connerley & Pederson, 2005).
Abstract In this paper, Tracy Freeland will be discussed from an adolescent psychologist’s perspective. Information about Tracy was gathered through watching the film, Thirteen, and through psychological interviews with Tracy in a client based setting. Using this information, a report of Tracy’s family and friendship background, her presenting issue, and an explanation of her behavior from a biopsychosocial perspective are given. By doing this, one should have a more complete understanding of the sometimes-perplexing phase that every human being experiences in life. This period of development is known as adolescence.
P1: Explain the requirements for two different careers in the health sector. Job description Child and adolescent psychotherapists offer psychoanalytic treatment to children and young people with emotional or behavioural difficulties, including: * * depression * anxiety * development delay * phobias * aggression * gender dysphoria * consequences of child abuse * self-harming * learning difficulties and disabilities * eating disorders * Psychosomatic disorders Child and adolescent psychotherapists are skilled in the assessment and treatment of children and young people, and are trained to carefully observe them and respond to what they might be communicating through their behaviour and play.

Younger children, for example, may play with the toys provided or draw, whilst teenagers might talk about their feelings. Infants and parents are seen together so that their patterns of interaction can be considered.
According to Bulman and Schutz (2008) the art of reflection can help students and nurses learn from experiences and improve their own practice. To do this they need a self-awareness that enables them to describe honestly how a particular exposure affected them (Bulman and Schutz 2008). In order for practitioners to reflect there are different theoretical models used as a framework for reflective practice. Gibbs (1988) developed a reflective framework involving six stages which aim to guide the practitioner by asking a series of cue questions. The first stage sets the scene of the reflection by asking for a description of the event, the second stage looks at what the practitioner was thinking and feeling thirdly

In the research study titled Cognitive milieu therapy and physical activity: experiences of mastery and learning among patients with dual diagnosis, by L. Borge, J.I. Rossberg, and S. Sverdrup the researchers examined milieu therapy paired with physical activity.

According to the research article (Cognitive milieu therapy and physical activity: experiences of mastery and learning among patients with dual diagnosis) the researchers were interested in this topic due to the frequency of CMT being implemented in psychiatric institutions; but there is no current research that shows data from the point of view of the inpatient.
This resulted in Freud doing further research into psychosexual development and caused Freud to believe that personality develops through a series of childhood stages. This essay will look into the stages of Freud’s psychosexual development theory and how it relates to the development of personality and childhood experiences that his patients occurred. Freud’s theory stated that awareness is divided into three sections of consciousness, Conscious, Pre-Conscious and Unconscious. Freud’s view of the human psyche was displayed as an iceberg metaphor. The conscious is shown as the first 7th of the human psyche and is the awareness we have when we are awake.
