‘Discuss the application of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to the practice on mental health nursing with special reference to the links between its core principles and those of the recovery model’ Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to explore the history and key elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) that impact and complement mental health nursing models, aspirations and basic care. The assignment will make reference to its past history, the core principles and future developments. The author will use past treatment methods, before the introduction of CBT with reference to depression. It is the intension of the author to show an understanding of the principles and practice of CBT, with the rationale for using two cognitive behavioural approaches. The author will examine the limitations and restrictions of CBT in the wider principles of mental healthcare provision and consider how the application of CBT within the practice of Mental Health Nursing can influence the possible future development and advancement, of new nursing models/concepts of nursing practice, in particular the author will examine the impact of CBT with the recovery process.
Treatment models in AOD dependence Introduction This paper will explore the more traditional approach of the disease model in the treatment of AOD dependence. This model will be compared to the newer treatment approaches of harm reduction and motivational interviewing. The current literature regarding these three approaches will be reviewed in terms of the strengths and shortcomings of each. Some conclusions will then be drawn regarding efficacy and applicability to the writer’s current AOD counselling practice. It needs to be acknowledged that substance use is both fundamental and normative to the human condition; it has always been and continues to be part of ordinary human behaviour (APS 2005).
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.
Dangerous Confrontation Investigation This assignment will identify and describe the procedure and how it occurs in my clinical practice. Following there will be a critical analysis that addresses the history of this procedure and how has it developed over time, what policy/protocols underpin the procedure and what evidence is available to support the use of the procedure in clinical practice. Also this assignment will address the purpose of the procedure in the delivery of psychiatric services, the role of the procedure has in my practice area, the implications of the procedure for the patient/consumer, the role it plays in patient-centered care delivery and the implications of the procedure for mental health nursing practice. This assignment will also suggest on dangerous confrontation that took place at my placement. It will portray how dangerous confrontation investigation is integrated in the care delivery of people experiencing with mental health issues specifically from a nursing viewpoint.
CBT is collaborative and it is necessary to have a constructive and trusting relationship between the therapist and client. As most behavioural responses are learned, the therapist has an active role to help the client get rid of these reactions and learn new and productive forms. CBT is based on the theory that a client’s thoughts determine their emotions and behaviour. This is a benefit as it allows them to
The distinction between the two is as much pragmatic as conceptual, and is intended to improve the legibility and utility of the model. Essentially, ‘basic competences’ are employed in both low- and high-intensity interventions, while (at least in the form described here) most of those which come under the domain of specific techniques are more usually associated with high-intensity interventions. Specific cognitive and behavioural therapy techniques These are the core technical interventions employed in most CBT applications – the set of commonly applied techniques found to a lesser or greater extent in most forms of CBT. Examples would be using exposure techniques, eliciting and working with problematic behaviours, or using Socratic questioning to help clients identify and appraise their cognitions.
(Schwartz 2000). Weir and Oie 1996 described the classification system as a functional, standardised and validated mean of grouping objects and phenomena. A mental health professional classify the disorder according to the patterns of behaviour, thought and emotion. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (text revision) (DSM- IV- TR) (American Psychiatric Association 2000) and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD- 10 – AM) (WHO 1992) was a product of research developed as the universal system of classification. An understanding of the system classification allows mental health professionals to communicate effectively and professionally to other health disciplines in participating collaboratively in the patient’s care, to contribute to clinical problem solving and in attributing appropriate therapy interventions (Clinton & Nelson 1996).
When misconduct or mistakes are made it can have very damaging effects on individuals and their lives, but also to the credibility of the criminal justice system. This can happen and does on occasion (Meyer & Grant, 2003). How can we improve consistency in how prosecutors accept case work? When assessing possible improvements to the consistency of how prosecutors accept case work, there are no simple answers. Putting strict demands on what a prosecutor
They are failure to achieve positively valued goals, removal of positively valued stimuli, and confrontation with negative stimuli (Agnew, 1992). The major assumptions of General Strain Theory place emphasis on these types of strains and stressors and how they cause deviant behavior. The connection between the strains and deviant behavior are the negative emotions that are produced by the strains such as anger and anxiety. The causes of deviant behavior can be linked to those emotions and the personal resources available to handle the emotions. This helps to define why some individuals with similar strains commit crimes and why others chose legal manners in which they deal with their strains and emotions.
Also, technology and managerial efforts’ failures are conceivable and it can be crucial in certain circumstances. Similarly, judges’ plan for placing yard signs is somewhat raise negative signal in the criminals, who wants to overcome his guilt. As a result, he would isolate himself from the society, and which in turn will produce negative outcomes. Then again, for the public safety, it is necessary to ratify different security mechanism despite the presence of moral and legitimate issues. So, it would be healthy to trace and map criminal’s residence to avoid potential threats of
