Rather it attempts to help the patient find better ways to deal with current problems. IPT identifies four basic problem areas which contribute to depression. The therapist helps the patient determine which area is the most responsible for his depression and therapy is then directed at helping the patient deal with this problem area. The four basic problem areas recognized by Interpersonal Therapy are: Unresolved grief - In normal bereavement, the person usually begins to return to normal functioning within a few months. Unresolved grief is generally grief which is either delayed and experienced long after the loss or distorted grief, in which the person may not feel emotions, but instead experiences other symptoms.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (Rational Emotive Therapy, Rational Behavior Therapy, Rational Living Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Schema Focused Therapy) by Karen Kassel, MS, RD, MEd En Español (Spanish Version) Definition Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy. This means that you discuss your thoughts, feelings, and actions with a mental health professional. CBT focuses on how the way you think affects how you feel and how you act. For example, a situation may be perceived in a positive way by one person, enhancing his/her well-being, but may be perceived in a negative way by another person, contributing to feelings of sadness or anxiety. Your therapist helps you identify negative thoughts and evaluate how realistic these thoughts are.
PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES & KEY CONCEPTS Aaron T. Beck developed his approach known as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as a result of his work and observations with depressed clients. C.B.T. is based on fundamental assumptions that our thoughts can and do determine how we feel and behave in relation to events in our everyday lives and our environment. Beck contends that psychological problems or dysfunctional behaviour can occur as a result of faulty or distorted thinking and through engaging and employing C.B.T. techniques we can change or modify the way we think, to cause us to feel and act better even if our external situations and events do not change.
Regression is used as a tool in clinical hypnotherapy to help a client retrieve a lost or unclear memory. There are four essential types of regression: direct regression, non-direct regression, esoteric regression and spontaneous regression (Dupe, 2009). Direct regression requires the therapist to direct the client to recall their memory of a specific event or events that underlie their current problem(s). The therapist may direct the client using an Ideo Motor Response (IMR) tailored to help minimise any dangers. Non-direct regression is where the client regresses to recall memories of events that they believe are significant.
‘Discuss the application of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to the practice on mental health nursing with special reference to the links between its core principles and those of the recovery model’ Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to explore the history and key elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) that impact and complement mental health nursing models, aspirations and basic care. The assignment will make reference to its past history, the core principles and future developments. The author will use past treatment methods, before the introduction of CBT with reference to depression. It is the intension of the author to show an understanding of the principles and practice of CBT, with the rationale for using two cognitive behavioural approaches. The author will examine the limitations and restrictions of CBT in the wider principles of mental healthcare provision and consider how the application of CBT within the practice of Mental Health Nursing can influence the possible future development and advancement, of new nursing models/concepts of nursing practice, in particular the author will examine the impact of CBT with the recovery process.
A clinical case study is an in-depth study of a person in therapy and tends to include the age, sex and background of the client, symptoms and the circumstances in which they appear, treatment and an assessment of the client’s state following therapy. The psychodynamic approach uses retrospective case studies such as Anna O’s where the client is required to recall information from the past. A well-known case study is that of Little Hans whose phobia of horses was caused by repressed memories, therefore fitting in with the assumptions of the psychodynamic approach. | Evaluate the use of case studies within the psychodynamic approach (strengths and weaknesses) However retrospective case studies are often open to distortion as the client may have forgotten important details. Also case studies are time consuming and difficult to analyse due to the vast amount of data.
During my observation in placement I found it to be more applicable to older adult complaining to the nurses how constipated the feel. Therefore this project will be based on constipation among older adult with mental health. I will be discussing and analysing in line to clinical practise, followed by reflection and conclusion. I took it upon my interest to know how constipation affect older adult with mental health in line with the following; causes, medication, activities and nutrition. John (2003) reflection is a window through which I can view and focus self within the context of experience in ways that enable to comfort,understand and resolving the contradictions within practice of what is desirable and actual practise.
These limited verbal communication abilities includes learning disabilities and language impairment. The other article in the Nursing Standard, discussed the use of pain assessment tools in older patients with cognitive impairment because they are unable to describe or communicate their pain due to dementia or Alzheimer’s. These articles discussed the pain assessment tools that can be used to help identify this subjective data in an attempt to make pain a more manageable symptom. Harper, K., Bell, S. (2006). A pain assessment tool for patients with
This view point stems from discoveries revealed from training and work history. Having knowledge and experience helps the counselor evaluate theories as they are use in treatment with clients. Washton (n.d.), “….This approach integrates psychotherapeutic and coping skills-training techniques with abstinence-based addiction counseling. The primary goals of treatment are to enhance and sustain patient motivation for change, establish and maintain abstinence from all psychoactive drugs…” (Approaches to Drug Abuse Counseling ). These theories assist counselors in communicating plans coherently of treatment goals for clients.
“Describe and evaluate Carl Jung’s theory concerning personality types and show how they might usefully help a therapist to determine therapeutic goals” Introduction In this essay I aim to demonstrate an understanding of Jung’s theory of personality types by looking at the characteristics of the attitudes and functions and how these can be related to psychological disturbance. I will be describing and evaluating his theory and how it might be useful in helping a therapist to determine therapeutic goals. I will then conclude my findings. Jung’s model is concerned with the movement of the psychic energy and the way in which an individual habitually or preferentially positions one’s self in the world. Used responsibly, it is a precious guide to our dominant psychological disposition, the way we mostly are.
