Hobson believes that because problems in our life are usually through interpersonal relationships, we should resolve these problems through a therapeutic relationship. The quality of the relationship is crucial for the effectiveness of the therapy. PIT consists of several interlinking components, of which include ‘explanatory rationale’ and ‘staying with feelings’. A potential strength of PIT is that it is just as effective if not more so than current treatments at improving depressive symptoms. Research support comes from Elkin, who found that when compared to CBT, PIT is just as effective at treating depression.
These definitions of being homeless are being described by Anna Quindlen in her essay “homeless”. Quindlen uses short fragments, imagery and other structural strategies like interviews and definitions to express her opinion about homeless people while maintaining an emotional time. A house is never a home. It is just a place of shelter. What makes it a home are its people, its specialties and the time spent in it.
The side effects may also vary depending on combinations of the medications. This becomes a serious ethical issue due to the lack of research done to back up Pediatric Polypharmacy and we can’t have our children become Guinea pigs. Most of the time people/ parents of the children that are prescribed the medicine don’t react to it because they are not aware of the problems it can cause. People often think that more the amount of medicine the better he/she will be, but that is just a misunderstanding. It is not always good to take too much medication because of the side effects it can cause later on, and sometimes even instantly.
They believe that it would be better if nurses only practice under the guidance and supervision of the doctor. They believe that allowing them to practice independently would be detrimental to their patients (Mills, 2009). They would be prone to some misdiagnosis, failure to attend to less obvious, but potentially life-threatening problems as well as prescriptive errors. In fact, they maintained that many deaths in the hospital would be realized due to errors made in prescriptions. According to them, nurses however much trained and experienced lack skills to manage and deal with complex living with multi-system diseases.
Therefore, if a doctor decidedly breaches the standards expected of him, the patient would no longer have faith in their ability to help. Due to the various causes of depression from emotional trauma to hereditary genes, it is difficult to pin this condition to being prevalent in any one social group. It is also worth noting that there are so many factors that contribute to depression, many of which are biochemical. Biologically induced depression can be treated with medication; however anything to do with human emotion and genetic make-up only inspires further questions.
It has been said that these organizations move persons from undesirable to desirable states. Petagaye “As a trained social worker myself, I know that the mission states that social workers employ a bio-psycho-social approach to restore clients to a state of social functioning” Response “Unique technologies are employed to help persons interact better with their families, neighbours and co-workers. They are enabled to be more productive at work and to be responsible citizens. Petagaye “Let’s go to the phone lines and then we will pick up later on those technologies that, I’m quite sure will enlighten our listeners on how social service agencies differ in function and characteristics from other
They fear becoming dependent on others or having a very poor quality of life. Sadly, our current health care system and its practices leave people suffering unreasonably and unnecessarily at the end of life. Too often, people suffer from avoidable pain and other symptoms in their final days. And such suffering can occur even with good care. People advocate for more reliable euthanasia/physician-assisted suicide to guard against these possibilities.
Physician Assisted suicide The phrase “do no harm” is not actually mentioned in the Hippocratic Oath but that dose not mean that the words in the oath are not upheld, the oath goes much deeper to cement the extreme responsibilities of a doctor and to ensure that it is a patient is first a person not a disease. As a doctor should always exorcise every available option to treat a healthy patient there is an ongoing debate on weather the same treatment is carried out on a patient thought to be terminally ill. The debate has stirred up a great deal of emotions and is near and dear to many American hearts. With the issue of Physician Assisted Suicide many points are discussed for and against In the Articles: “Death And The Law: Why Government Has An Interest In Preserving Life” By Lawrence Rudden and Gerard V. Bradley and “Promoting A culture Of Abandonment” By Teresa R Wagner. Physician assisted suicide is something I disagree with because It would violate the trust between a patient and a doctor, It opens the floodgates for other such abuses and generally such requests are made out of fear for the dying process.
With the majority of the affected families taking an active roll in the caring for Alzheimer’s patients it seems that the responsibilities of caring for a family member of a family of orientation while juggling the responsibilities of being a member of a family of procreation and other constraints such as work puts a strain on the caretaker no matter what the sex or gender of the caretaker may be. Alzheimer’s forces a family into a situation they did not willingly ask for and are made to adapt one way or another to the situation because refusal to do so can severely threaten the family structure. The length of the illness causes emotional strains along with physical and financial costs, which can intensify the family’s feeling of abandonment and loss. Having had a family member ravaged by this disease I am aware of the difficulties that families incur when dealing with the struggles brought on by Alzheimer’s and feel that more research and time need to be devoted to the issue. The issues that arise affect not only the family system but, especially with the expected growth of those diagnosed with the disease, society as a whole.
Free association is where the client will be given a list of words such as ‘mum’, and then the first word that comes into their mind will be said. It enables psychologists to understand possible reasons why they may engage in challenging behaviour as they are witnessing their suppressed feelings. Dream analysis also helps psychologist’s reasons to understand this behaviour as dreams, they show unconscious symbols. Free association and dream analysis can once again be used through co8unciling although there has to be a large amount of trust between the individual and the practitioner. The psychological approach links to social care.
