Application of Intervention Model
The client population that will be taken into consideration in this context is: young adults who have aged out of the foster system. On the other hand, the therapeutic intervention selected in this case will be cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). From the onset, it would be prudent to note that according to Dorsey, Cox, Conover, and Berliner (2011), there are often a myriad of unaddressed mental health needs among most adolescents in foster care. Some of the concerns that the authors highlight are inclusive of what they refer to as; a sequelae of trauma exposure (e.g., Posttraumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD], Depression (597). Towards this end, I would be in favor of deployment of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). In basic terms, this happens to be a treatment approach/model (evidence-based) meant to help persons who have encountered traumatic experiences in the past overcome the negative effects of such experiences.
One therapeutic activity that that I would likely implement with young adults who have aged out of the foster system is relaxation. Available evidence indicates that the deployment of relaxation skills could be of great relevance in seeking to enable traumatized persons deal with biological hyperarousal responses. The said approach could be applied in a manner of formats. For instance, in the words of Cohen and Mannarino (2015), some of the effective personalized strategies for relaxation could on this front be inclusive of focused (yoga) breathing, progressive muscle relaxation and visualization (560). According to the authors, these skills come in handy in efforts to promote the production of physiologic relaxation responses. In so doing, the activity would meet one basic ideal of TF-CBT, i.e. help persons who have encountered traumatic experiences in the past overcome the negative effects of such experiences, among the population highlighted in this text.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or (CBT) is currently the popular method to provide therapy to the client with weight control maladies. CBT is ostensibly necessary to assist binge eaters and those whom suffer from tendencies to bulimic episodes. According to Brody (2007), "Most popular at the moment is cognitive-behavioral therapy, with or without medication. Since binge eaters have highly irregular eating habits, the behavioral aspect introduces structure to
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy In comparison with many different types of treatments that are available cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been used as a way to address a host of anxiety and depression disorders without the use of prescription medication. This is because; this approach is based on the fact that health care professionals are treating someone by: looking at how their thoughts are influencing the way that they are interacting with
Problem Solving: There are times when the patient can find himself in a situation, which may present problems for the recovering alcoholic. For this reason, these patients are taught a series of techniques to determine the correct solution of a given problem. The training involves a number of simulated scenarios and the patient is made to come up with moral solution to resolve the situation. This may involve the patient
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Case Study Introduction to Cognitive Behavioral and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy In general, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is one form of the broader category of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Westbrook & Kirk, 2005). In principle, CBT provides a clinical psychotherapeutic approach that combines the most tested and proven aspects of Freudian psychotherapy or classic psychodynamic theory with behavior and cognitive therapy (Westbrook & Kirk, 2005). Under the CBT approach,
Persons with generalized anxiety disorder often worry excessively about health, money, family, or work, and continually anticipate disaster." People with GAD are accustomed to approaching life as "worriers," and the disorder can be difficult to treat. They often become highly, negatively emotionally aroused when mentally imagining future events; effective treatment must deal with these stress-inducing mental images. While the idea of "generalized anxiety" may sound like a mild problem,
The therapist encourages openness and honesty on the part of the patient. This parent-like role gives the therapist the power to influence the patient positively, and to interpret his self-defeating behavior and distorted beliefs about reality. The patient must be able and willing to profit from it. Since offenders are assumed to suffer from denial, lack of motivation to change, and unwillingness to cooperate with voluntary treatment, individual psychotherapy
