Page one Cathy Bland Norw1A tutor :- Sue Smith This case study is about a forty seven year old lady who smokes forty cigarettes a day. She suffers from smoking heath related problems and came to me because she wishes to stop smoking. Introduction and initial consultation I began the initial consultation by explaining to HR that to stop smoking under hypnotherapy only takes one session which would last for around two hours. I explained that the first half of the time with me would be getting to know her and why she wants to stop smoking. I continued, the second part of the session would be the hypnotherapy.
Caring is the moral ideal of nursing whereby the end is protection, enhancement, and preservation of human dignity” (Watson, 2007, p. 29). With this idea in mind, the assessment tools aforementioned can be used by the nurse or physician to protect, enhance, and preserve human dignity (Watson, 2007). The Beck Depression Inventory, one of the most widely used instrument, was designed to measure the severity of depression in adolescents and adults. An important use of the Beck Depression Inventory is examining the specific items as significant information about a person's experience of depression. The validity of the Beck Depression Inventory is understood to have good levels of validity mainly because the scale is derived from a clinical theory of depression, and it has a high degree of

Within the discussion there are specific suggestions for future research on comparison of Forgiveness therapy with other anger focused therapies. The recommendation is that the programs used should attempt to decrease or remove long standing resentment and they should be compared with those that highlight here and now anger management and behavior control. By doing this it would help in shedding light on whether the removal of resentment or control of someone would lead to affecting the behavior is the key to emotional health or not (Lin., 2004 et al,
The main focus is to reduce the degree of harm resulting from abstinence through the strategy of readiness regardless of their readiness stage. Overall, according to SAMHSA/CSAT (protocol #34) a brief invention can help “initiate change, continue it, accelerate it and prevent the client from regressing to previous behaviors.” (p.2).

Therapy for Mood Disorder So how do you treat depression? Basically, treatments fall into 3 categories: psychological, biological, and pharmocological. In psychological therapy, specifically, psychodynamic therapy, depression is thought to be derived from a repressed sense of loss and from anger unconsciously turned inward. Therefore, psychoanalytic treatment tries to help the patient achieve insight into the repressed conflict, and often encourages the outward release of the hostility that is being directed inward. Recent studies have shown that a form of psychotherapy that concentrates on present-day interactions between the depressed person and the social environment is quite effective for alleviating unipolar depression..
During baseline assessment the participant was asked to describe the trauma, visualize a picture of it, think of a negative cognition, the emotions, the physical sensation and rate their distress using the SUD scale, while the therapist engaged the participant in eye movements. Once the SUDS reach to zero-three and the participant could focus on the image and have a positive cognition, the therapist took measures on SUDS scales. The results supported that EMDR is an effective treatment for PTSD as it decreased the symptoms and anxiety associated with the traumatic memory. The effectiveness of the treatment was demonstrated in the three 90-minute treatment sessions and the effects were maintained at
The next journal article I reviewed utilized haloperidol again, but this time compared it to the use of olanzapine. The objective of the research study was to compare the effectiveness in patients during first episodic incidents and over a prolonged period while utilizing the above medication(s). According to Lieberman and colleagues, (2003) the study was implemented in attempts to find out if these atypical antipsychotic drugs work more effectively for patients experiencing these issues for the first episodes of psychosis within the early stages of the issue, hence early intervention. The research found that both of the choice drugs were effective in the acute reduction of psychopathological symptoms, but that olanzapine had more of a success rate in a therapeutic response and prevention of chance for relapse was also greater with the use of olanzapine (Lieberman et al,
A recent study shows that 30% of new graduates leave the profession as nurses within the first year of their licensure (Bowles 2005). Employers might want to take note of these numbers and become familiar with the negative effects that the high turnover rates are causing. As a licensed nurse myself, I see the benefits in establishing an employee retention program that focuses on the power of mentorship and instills the value back into this profession. If you consider the already stressful environment, it is easy for a nurse to become overwhelmed by minor situations. Patients who are presenting with symptoms of depression may say hurtful things and be resistant to the new nurse’s efforts in providing treatment.
