“Motivational Interviewing with Adolescents: An Advanced Practice Nursing Intervention for Psychiatric Setting” by Katherine Jackman analyzes the theory and principles of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and reviews the applicability and appropriateness of MI as an intervention amongst adolescent patients in a psychiatric setting.

The author properly clarifies the concepts and principle of MI in an organized fashion.

How might an understanding of human development help a psychodynamic counsellor work more effectively with a client? Introduction The foundation of Psychodynamic counselling is based on the theories that Sigmund Freud formulated, and his followers then moulded into their own theories or devised their own new theories over the years.

Problems like depression, anxiety, anger and social isolation can all be successfully treated and improved using some form of psychodynamic approach. (Aengel; 2010) In this essay, I want to do an overview of the different human developments and how by having an understanding of the effects each stages may have on an individual in adulthood, along with the use of the other psychodynamic approaches for example: transference, counter-transference, defence mechanisms and Malan’s triangle, will help the counsellor work more effectively with the client.
