This will include my belief that each person deserves to have a careful assessment or initial consultation from therapist to client and after careful consideration of the clients needs and preferences that the most appropriate screed would be used to benefit the client. . I will also discuss two very different hypnotherapists namely Dave Elman and Milton H Erickson.

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). Over the past decade organizations have come to the realization that mental health professionals need to become competent in cross cultural interactions. Competent multicultural mental health professionals play a key role in success of mental health counseling interventions (Connerley & Pederson, 2005).
Elements of a recognised framework by Cormack (2000) will be used as a guideline through the critique process. Critique is defined by Polit et al (2000) as a careful critical appraisal of the strengths and limitations of a piece of research. They state that a written critique should serve as a guide to researchers and practitioners, and should help to advance a particular area of knowledge. The critique should also help those who are practising nursing, to decide how the findings from a study can be best incorporated into practice (Nieswiadomy, 2002). Knapp (1998) points out that if research is to provide convincing evidence on which to base practice, it must be capable of withstanding scrutiny regarding the quality and relevance of the researchers work.

MI with Co-Occurring Disorders Courtney Cheatham Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences SASS 500 Motivational Interviewing Jeremy Evenden March 7, 2012 Abstract Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, yet goal-directed counseling method for helping people to resolve ambivalence about health behavior change by building intrinsic motivation and strengthening commitment (Miller & Rollnick, 2002). It is an evidence-based treatment intervention founded on principles from humanistic psychology; it seeks to increase motivation for change through resolution of ambivalence and an increase in perceived self-efficacy. MI focuses on the relationship between the therapist and the patient. It is an intervention developed by
The qualitative study denotes the attachment process that is a major predictor of mental health in adult age of individual. The study heightened the awareness as well as understanding of self-esteem issues that can effectively lead to more accurate therapeutic contexts and treatment plans for clients. The study might lead therapists’ ways to decrease or moderate or even demolish number of issues that clients experiences throughout their childhood.

This essay will discuss and reflects using Gibbs reflective cycle (1988) about the use of pressure ulcer prevention tool and how functional it is based on evidence based practice (EBP) that will facilitate to enhance the possible result of an underlying procedure. According to Jasper (2003), reflection is a fundamental tool in order for the student’s to understand the broad perspective between theory and practice. Reflection is an active process that enables health care professionals gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and it serves to extend our professionalism and develop our confidence in a bid to make sense of clinical experiences (Ghaye, Gillespie & Lillyman 2000).In accordance to Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Code of practice the details about the client will not be given to ensure the confidentiality and protection of the patient (NMC, 2008). The first part of Gibbs reflective cycle is the description. As a health care professional trained in different approach, I assessed my client based on the theory and learning experience that I have had.
MI is now established as an evidence-based practice in the treatment of individuals with substance use disorders. Although there are some technical considerations that may alter the practice of motivational interviewing with older people its basic principles remain the same: eliciting the patient’s concerns, reflecting ambivalence and allowing the patient to develop a plan for change that best suits him or her (Bugelli & Crowther, 2008). Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence and centers on motivational processes within the individual that facilitate change. Bugelli and Crowther content that the method differs from more “coercive” or externally-driven methods for motivating change as it does not impose change; but rather supports change in a manner congruent with the person's own values and concerns. Miller and Rollnick (2002) emphasize that they are less concerned about the techniques used in MI but put greater emphasis on the spirit that underlies it.
Through review of recent literature into the assessment and management of individuals affected by paranoid schizophrenia, this paper will discuss in detail how the nurse goes about assessing the patient, why assessment is vital, common outcomes of the assessment and finally go into detail on how the nurse manages a patient with paranoid schizophrenia. Stein-Parbury (2009) discuss the importance of providing an environment without distractions for an assessment to occur in, as this enhances the ability of both the patient and
In accordance with Davidson (1997) ambivalence is the essence of the problem in addictive behaviors. Miller and Rollnick (2003) describe five principles that guide the technique of motivational interviewing and explain the therapeutic posture adopted in this model as follows: express empathy; develop discrepancy between the desired goals and the behavior to be changed; avoid confrontation to not increase the resistance to treatment; respond to sustain talk and discord to facilitate in the resolution of ambivalence; and evoke hope and confidence to help the client make the change when he/she lacks confidence to deal with difficult situations and
