CBT 2 Abstract Objective: Childhood psychic trauma affects several areas of the brain which in relation causes behavioral problems. Traumatized children who are victims of physical or sexual abuse, neglect or other traumatic event is generally evaluated and supervised by therapist who provides trauma focused treatment. I will be providing information on realistic strategies used for managing dysfunctional emotions and behavior problems which is broken down by the trauma focused evidence base treatment also referred to as (EBT) used for children who are highly distress. Methods: Cognitive therapy looks to help children defeat difficulties. Treatment planning includes a balance of both trauma and behavioral focal point, working on ongoing behavioral problems and behavioral crises, modify distorted thinking so that families could have the knowledge to transfer, and children can learn how to talk through their experiences.
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.
Contemporary Issue in Psychology: Final Project Sharee S. Terry PS115-24 Contemporary Issue in Psychology: Final Project Contemporary issues in psychology began with the study of human behaviors. We observed and discussed waiting behaviors in common areas thru out our society. We gained knowledge by conducting research on waiting behaviors in common areas we frequent as individuals. We explored the influence of stress on our daily lives and its healthy and unhealthy effects on our career, personal life and studies. Our own different and individual strategies for managing stress were discussed as well as how we learned these stress managing strategies.
John Bowlby (1907-1990) introduced modern day psychology to the importance of mother-infant relationships and their dynamics. Bowlby was trained as a psychoanalyst and studied a myriad of concepts from ethology, cybernetics, developmental psychology and cognition all leading him to the formulation of his attachment theory. This theory was sparked from Bowlby’s report on the mental health of homeless children in postwar Europe. Bowlby extensively reviewed then-current material on institutionalized children separated from parents and concluded that in order for a mentally healthy adulthood, “ the infant and young child should experience a warm, intimate and continuous relationship with his mother in which both find satisfaction and enjoyment” (Bowlby, 1969). With this information, Bowlby realized that the current explanation from Freud that infants love their mother because of oral gratification was wrong.
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a type of treatment for clients which focuses on past and present social roles and interpersonal interactions. During treatment, the therapist generally chooses one or two problem areas in the patient's current life to focus on. Examples of areas covered are disputes with friends, family or co-workers, grief and loss and role transitions, such as retirement or divorce. IPT does not attempt to delve into inner conflicts resulting from past experiences. Rather it attempts to help the patient find better ways to deal with current problems.
This approach can be used for substance abusers, or people with severe disorders that impair their ability to function in normal living. Therapeutic Goal The goal for the therapist is to translate his or her psychodynamic understanding and emotional experience of the client and the team into clinical interventions that have a practical, positive and measurable effect on the client's ability to plan and pursue his or her life. Treatment Strategies In all of their work with clients, milieu therapists draw upon a psychodynamic understanding of client experience and behavior. For example, in response to a client who is persistently disruptive in therapy groups, the milieu therapist might offer an interpretation, set a limit or ask the client to leave, encourage other group members to give the client feedback on the effect of the behavior on the group, and/or call upon the rest of the staff to consider what is being expressed for the client group through this behavior. Similarly, when a client refuses to apply for a job, after agreeing to do so as part of his or her treatment plan, the milieu therapist must determine the most effective intervention.
Behavioral Psychiatric Assessments I would like for you to consider the behavioral health issues you have dealt with in your clinical settings up until now, and submit to the objectives assignment link 2 objectives you have set for yourself to improve your interaction with patients with behavioral health problems. And, how you plan to meet them. The behavioral health issues I dealt with this semester include: anxiety, depression, dementia, smoking cessation, and insomnia. The goal during the interaction with patients with psychiatric issues was focused on improving my communication skills when taking history and performing physical assessments. Of particular note were the differences in approach between a behavioral health patient and
I would ask Miss E to discuss her ex-partner’s controlling behaviour in more detail. According to Patricia Evans (2001), “...this kind of behavior sets the stage for all kinds of abuse”. It is important as a therapist to understand the full picture before treating a client, in particular the depth
Footsteps of a Mental Health Counselor: Week Eleven Application “I believe that the route people take in life depends strongly on the relationships they have with others, the obstacles they may go through, and how they find themselves in the mist of it all.” With this belief, I desire to someday focus my counseling on relationship issues and substance abuse counseling. However, I’ve found myself questioning what the life of a counselor looks like on a daily basis. Therefore this paper will unfold what life is like for a counselor, through the eyes of Marie Francis, an LPC and LCAS. Along with the information gathered, I will also incorporate the material learned throughout this course in order to provide a true reflection of what happens day-to-day for a counselor. Spending the day with Marie Francis really gave me a true insight on what the day-to-day life is like for a mental health counselor.
Another alternative psychological treatment is the use of cognitive behavioural therapy. This involves educating the client about the illness and the process of the treatment. The therapist and client must establish a therapeutic relationship so that the bond of trust is developed. In some clients, rapport is developed by the therapist being genuine, respectful and empathic. During the therapy, the client must do homework and actively confront their own problems.
