The client will also be required to meet with spouse for a listening session and show the ability to accept the spouse's perspective on the causes of the relational conflicts. This meeting between the two individuals should help to identify the causes for past and present conflicts within the relationship which would help alleviate the friction between the two.
After the meeting has been conducted, as well as the identification of the causes a plan would be written to change the behaviors that the client would need to change in order to improve the relationship between the couple.
One way that the plan can help improve the relationship is be assisting the client in learning to demonstrate the ability to show affection in two ways; both verbally and non-verbally.
Another short-term objective for the client will be to learn and demonstrate communication skills concerning health issues. By doing this the client opens up other avenues of communication as well as responding to physical health problems that could also be the root of some of the marital problems.
The client would also have to make a commitment to improve the relationship, with verbal skills as well as empathy and sympathy. One way this could be accomplished would be to have the client write the spouse a letter sharing the client's feelings as well as asking for the spouse's support in the recovery process.
Along with the written letter, the client will also be asked to write a plan to meet social and emotional needs during the...
Along with that plan, the client will have to include a personal recovery plan that would require the client to consistently attend a recovery group, attain a sponsor and attend group and individual therapy sessions.
The client will also be asked to describe signs and symptoms of experienced depression as well as to verbally describe the source of that depression if possible.
Depression will not be the only feeling the client will be asked to express, the client will also be asked to express the client's feelings of hurt, disappointment, shame and anger experienced throughout the client's life.
With these feelings verbalized the client should have an easier time at developing a consistent positive self-image that should help to alleviate some of the client's problems.
The client can demonstrate that improved self-esteem through more pride in the client's appearance, presenting more assertiveness, having a greater eye contact with the client's fellow human beings, and by identifying positive traits by listening to self-talk messages.
A last way for the client to achieve many of these short-term (and long-term objectives) would be to assess the exact nature of the client's sleep pattern, including the client's bedtime routine, the activity level while awake, the client's nutritional habits and any napping practices, as well as the client's actual sleeping time and rhythm of time for being awake vs. sleeping patterns.
At one point or another in our lives, we are all beginners. We begin college, a first job, a first love affair, and perhaps a first dissertation project. We bring a great deal to these new situations, including our temperament, previous education, and family situations. Yet, as adults, we also learn. In romantic relationships, couples report having to learn how to interact successfully with their partners. College students routinely report
Clients attend multiple twelve-step meetings and participate in twelve-step work to gain freedom from alcohol and/or drug addiction. In addition, they participate in individual and group counseling in order to alleviate the depression and anxiety underlying the addiction ("Dual diagnosis...," 2006). Happiness, in their opinion, is the cure for addictions. Giving and receiving love is the key to happiness. This concept is the main reason for Hope and Serenity's success
Treatment of Conduct Disorder in CBT in Combination With CBT and Fluoxetine In the first paper, this author discussed therapeutic processes (cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and pharmacotherapy) which could be employed as the best practices when working with individual adolescent males between the ages of 14-16 who exhibit conduct disorder. Since the approach previously centered around individuals, it would seem to be prudent to explore what type of group treatment modes
When viewed from that perspective, it becomes understandable that a jury could not eliminate the second story beyond a reasonable doubt, and, therefore, had to acquit Michael of the crime. Psychological treatment of suspect Given America's complex racial history, it is no surprise that race is oftentimes seen as a significant factor in rape. There is no doubt that black men have been unfairly targeted as rapists in America. This is
A counselor like any other physician, or medical practitioner must help. That is their first and only objective. The relationship between a counselor and their client must first and foremost be a beneficial and safe one. If at any point either party begins to feel as though the relationship is no longer helpful, or either party feels threatened in any way then the relationship must be terminated. Treatment should never
In particular, cognitive-behavioral therapy has received substantial research to support its effectiveness as an intervention strategy. Yet those interventions that combined psychotherapy and medications have been proven to be the most effective in the military culture. However, the recommendation to consider medication management may be met with resistant by the individual and should be explored in a manner that allows the individual to feel empowered (Silver, Brooks, & Obenchain,
