It is a generalised concept that if the cause of the symptoms were tackled it would only be logical that the symptoms would then cease. The Psychodynamic theory assumes the personality is split into three parts, the id (most primitive, instinctive part we have from birth), the ego (logical, balances out the id and superego) and the superego or moral part of our personality. These areas influence our behaviour as well as the defence mechanisms of the ego, and the psychosexual stages of development. Defence mechanisms are used
These feelings may come from an experience in his or hers childhood, adolescent, or in adulthood. Psychodynamic therapy uses the assumption that everyone has a subconscious, and feelings held in the subconscious are often too painful to face. Humanistic-existential is the approach, which tries to do justice to the whole person including mind, body and spirit; to enable the patient to find constructive ways of coming to terms with every day challenges. Behavior therapy focuses on the present. This type of therapy helps patients overcome phobias and self-destructive behavior.
Assumptions I need to be aware of to ensure they do not interfere with my critical analysis (include at least three examples for this section. A good place to start looking for ideas for this section are in Chapter 10 of The Art of Thinking: A guide to Critical and Creative Thought (Ruggiero, 2012).) A. Example of assumption 1. Explanation of how this assumption could interfere with critical analysis 2.

Describe how the cognitive approach has been applied to RET The cognitive approach believes that we are information processors. Our thinking and the way we process and interpret events can affect our behaviour particularly our mood. Therefore rational emotional therapy is linked to the approach because its attempts to change the way an individual interprets and thinks about certain events. Ret was devised by albert ellis in the 1950’s. it tries to tackle mustabatory thinking (the thinking that you must be good at everything and like by everyone) by trying to make the patient think more rationally about situations.
Narrative Therapy Approach to Family Counseling Due to the fact that all humans are different by the grace of God, each person requires a different type of treatment to meet their counseling needs. Family counseling provides many different approaches when it comes to counseling patients. The therapeutic approach is one of the most popular forms of narrative therapy. Michael White and David Espton developed a form of family therapy called the narrative therapy approach in the early 1900’s. They accomplished this by taking the best part of models from therapist they observed and implementing them into an experimental model that they eventually perfected into what is known today as the narrative therapy approach.
Reality Therapy and Choice Theory Michelle Brosemer Helping Relationship Technique April 8th, 2011 “A therapy that leads all patients towards reality, towards grappling successfully with tangible and intangible aspects of the real world, might accurately be called a therapy toward reality, or simply reality therapy.” (Glasser, 1965) Reality Therapy and Choice Theory are therapeutic methods that were developed by Dr. William Glasser, beginning in 1962. These approaches are based on the idea of personal responsibility for behaviors, and our ability to change our behavior “sets.” We are creatures who operate more on nature than nurture. This theory also suggests that most human problems stem from our basic and innate need to be loved and to belong. Glasser, who is considered the founder of this type of therapy, studied at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio. He earned his MA in Clinical Psychology in 1948, attended medical school and has an MD in Psychiatry (1953).
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Imagine constantly re-experiencing traumatic events in your head. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe mental health problem occurring after being exposed to a gruesome event. It is a common illness seen all over the world, mostly experienced by people ranging from 15 to 54 years of age. PTSD has numerous causes, negative effects, and several treatments. It is often summarized as “a normal reaction to an abnormal event” (Effects of Traumatic Stress) Post-traumatic stress disorder is affecting an estimated 31.3 million people worldwide.
I chose (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Approach because of the length of time of the client’s use of Meth. Many of the treatment strategies within the Model are derived from clinical research literature, including cognitive behavioral therapy, research on relapse prevention, motivational interviewing strategies, psycho-educational information and 12-Sstep program involvement. At this point she is going to need to change everything because of her old behavior all is know is how to use and use to live to stay well. I would implement the following guidelines for her treatment: The elements of the treatment approach are a collection of group sessions (early recovery skills, relapse prevention, family education and social support) and 3 to 10 individual sessions delivered over a 16-week intensive treatment period. Patients are scheduled three times per week to attend two Relapse Preventions groups (Monday and Friday) and one Family/education group (Wednesdays).
There are also many causes of PTSD, from victims of child abuse; people affected by terrorist attacks, violent crime victims, to war situations. The focus of this paper is on combat or war time post traumatic stress disorder. Combat-related PTSD has a higher lifetime frequency for men than women. It has a larger probability of delayed inception, sometimes decades, and has a much greater chance of not being agreeable to treatment, so combat post traumatic stress disorder seems to be a particularly toxic form of PTSD. “Veterans with PTSD have greater problems holding a job, in terms of unemployment and being fired; greater problems in terms of marriage, both divorce and separation or spousal abuse; poor health; increased limitations to physical function; and more likely to perpetrate violence” (Friedman,
