Analysis:
CBT can be effectively used in a variety of stressful or tense situations. Depending on the nature of the issue, focusing on changing behaviors often aids the individual in reducing an addiction, changing their approach to a situation, or focusing on interaction and dialog issues. CBT may be used, for example, with:
Severe anxiety from a recent sexual assault -- CBT may be used to unearth the issues surround the assault and resulting anxiety by helping the client focus on adaptation. The therapist should help the client understand that they were a victim, did not choose the issue, and the fault of the issue is with the perpetrator. Anxious feelings are a rational response to trauma, but by practicing assertion training, the client can take charge of their own emotions and begin to heal (SOURCE, p. 23).
A Gay/Bisexual person struggling to come out to friends and family -- CBT will help the client understand communication patterns, self-sabotage patterns, and again assertiveness to help family and friends understand that being Gay or Bisexual is not a choice, but just as much a part of the client as their hair color, body shape, and/or personality. Cognitive restricting can help the client evaluate and change any shame...
23).
Addiction to pornography -- We are assuming that this client's addiction is having negative effects in their lives. Addiction to pornography is a non-paraphilic behavior, which likely results in excessive masturbation. However, we do not know if the client substitutes pornography for intimacy with other humans, or if it is something that is simply habitual. CBT in this case is used much as it would be with any substance addiction; focusing on the triggers to identify the need for pornography and then reshaping these cognitive behaviors through desensitization or cognitive restructuring of the need for pornography (SOURCE, p. 23; Fong).

Counseling Psychoanalytic Family Counseling Psychoanalytic theory was the dominant psychological paradigm that influenced counseling and psychotherapy in the first part of the twentieth century (Hall, Lindzey, & Campbell, 1998); however, it was replaced first by behaviorism and later by cognitively-oriented paradigms. Nonetheless, psychoanalytic thought has persisted into the twenty-first century and is enjoying a bit of a comeback beginning in the last part of the 1990's (Hall et al., 1998). Of course Sigmund
The study indicated that children born to teenagers aged below 15 are twice as likely to be an indicated case of child neglect or child abuse in the first five years of their lives as compared to the children who are born to mothers between the ages of 20 and 21 Fergusson & Woodward, 2000() Another separate study found that the living standards and the situation at home for the teenage
DNP: PICO Introduction Information is power in healthcare. This is particularly true in the area of contraception, given that a great deal of misinformation exists in the popular culture and online in relation to women’s sexual health. It is thus vitally important to know how best to teach women about how best to manage their reproductive lives so that they have the maximum amount of autonomy over when and with whom
It has been argued that despite this fact, because substance abuse treatment has been developed by men, for men, it emerged "as a single-focused intervention based on the needs of addicted men." (Covington 2008). Without empowering substance abusers whose lives have become severely impaired in terms of basic life functioning, treating the abuse or disability as a purely biological function will have little effect, and only address the physical
Adolescent Depression: Overview and Annotated Bibliography Few periods in one's life are filled with more change or tumult than the stage known as adolescence. Defined by dramatic physical, hormonal, social and intellectual transition, adolescence is distinguished by the maturation of puberty. And perhaps more than at any other point in one's life, this maturation leads to a significant transformative period which finds the individual at a midway point between childhood and
CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ON WOMEN INVOLVED IN PROSTITUTION Conceptual Paper Millions of children around the globe are sexually abused or exploited. This paper includes several descriptions of studies that relate sexual abuse during childhood to delinquency later in life. There are several difficulties with methodology and definitions that are inherent in the mentioned studies. These challenges make it somewhat difficult to compare and interpret the findings of the study. A framework
