Cognitive Behavior Therapy as My Therapeutic Orientation
Overview of my orientation
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) combines two effective psychotherapy interventions. These are behavior therapy and cognitive therapy. Behavior therapy helps a patient weaken the ties between troubling situations and the habitual reactions to these situations (Vaske et al. 2011). Such reactions include self-damaging, self-defeating behavior, rage, depression, and fear. Besides, it teaches the patient how to calm the mind and body so that they can feel better, think clearly, and make informed decisions. CBT teaches the patient on how the thinking trends may cause symptoms of mental illness by creating a distorted image of what is happening in their life. In the end, the person may feel angry, depressed or anxious for no good reason. When integrated into CBT, cognitive and behavior therapies serve a strong tool for stopping these symptoms and getting the patient's life on a normal path (Moss-Morris et…...

Utay and Miller (2006) described a study in which researchers observed over 100 individuals with unresolved grief reactions. There were three phases of treatment employed with these individuals. The first stage of treatment involved cognitive structuring for the decision to grieve again and for procedure clarification. The second stage involved guided imagery for reliving, revising, and revisiting the scenes at which the loss occurred. The third and final stage involved future-oriented identity reconstruction. The researchers reported that the reliving of the event through guided imagery effectively changed the client's view of reality, and furthermore helped along their grief resolution (Melges & DeMaso (1980), as cited by Utay & Miller, 2006). Moreover, Guided imagery has been established as a versatile and effective intervention.

Lucero (2010) writes of therapeutic hypothermia "resumption of spontaneous circulation after prolonged ischemia due to cardiac arrest carries significant morbidity and mortality and much effort has been directed toward reducing the debilitating consequences." Lucero reviews the studies that demonstrate an association between therapeutic hypothermia in post-cardiac arrest patients and improved neurological outcomes.

The two hypothetical systems working on an individual's brain during the experience of addiction are complementary within and between system changes. The first counteradaptation results in a decrease in the transmission of dopamine and serotonin release during withdrawal phases of the cycle (obinson & Berridge 2001). Effectively, dopamine and serotonin transmission is artificially increased beyond the normative range during drug use, then virtually stopped once the drug has left the body. This intensifies not only the "come down" feeling but also the preoccupation anxieties associated with substance abuse as well as the existing emotional, environmental, or social vulnerability which lead to the initial lapse. Sensitization is the component of addiction which compels an individual to continually seek greater quantities of the substance (obinson & Berridge 2001). Effectively once the brain has been exposed to a chemical which alters neural transmission, the body attempts to return to a homeostatic state.…...

The preliminary data suggests that nurses need to adopt a holistic approach toward care as more and more mothers seek out non-pharmacological and natural methods for improving comfort and reducing the pain associated with labor and delivery.
Nurses can also help patients by educating them about their choices during labor, as well as potential unexpected events that occur during labor and delivery. As this study shows, mothers prepared for the unexpected are much more likely to report satisfaction than those who are not.
These findings provide significant insight with regard to nursing education protocols, and open the doors for new approaches to care for patients. Nursing programs of the future should focus on educating staff members regarding alternative therapies that can improve a mother's comfort before, during and after the labor process.

The following multimodal evaluation procedure is recommended for Carlos:
Semi-Structured Clinical Interview
The foremost component of an informal evaluation of traumatized individuals entails semi-structured interviewing, in which the following details of the patient ought to be garnered:
• Demographic facts
• Employment history
• Medical history
• Educational history
• Social history and • Several specific facts.
Such an interview must be closely founded on minor and major trauma disorder facets (James, 2008). Particular questions to be posed to Carlos are linked to:
• Trauma nature and level of exposure
• Definite trauma integral to PTS (post-traumatic stress) symptoms
• Intrusive thoughts, recollections, emotions, imagery, responsiveness/awareness freezing, avoidance response and other similar symptoms
• Related elements of anxiety, depression, drug/alcohol abuse, anger or violent behavior
• Pre-morbid family and social life, and adjustment
• Familial history of psychological ailments. Essentially, therapists must seek comprehensive information on individual PTS symptomatology elements, identifying the nature, seriousness, content, rate, concise explanation and duration of symptoms.

Torticollis Intervention
Torticollis is a condition which can be either temporary and of a minor inconvenience or it can be chronic and physically debilitating. The implications of the condition can run the gamut of severity and susceptibility to treatment. Torticollis, or a twisting of the neck, can be extremely common but its causes and impact exist across a wide range of variations. The discussion here will offer a concise overview of the condition with consideration of its various suspected causes, its most salient symptoms, strategies for its treatment and existing technologies or adaptive strategies aimed at helping individuals live with the condition.
Condition Background:
Torticollis is not an altogether uncommon presence at the time of birth. hen the condition is present at the time of birth, it is referred to as congenital or inherited torticollis. According to the research provided by the Baby Center Medical Advisory Board (BMAB) (2012) "about 1 in 250…...

detection and intervention in childhood mental health help prevent mental health problems in adult life?
Disregarding the mental well-being requirements of children is an intolerable violation of our basic undertaking to protect their well-being. Unfavorable mental disposition amidst our children is a less acknowledged difficulty that influences their literary, societal, and emotional enhancement. Mental well-being is a wide attribute to be analyzed. The mental well-being requirements of children and youth demand introspection. There is prevalent refuting that mental well-being is comprehensive of the influence on the children -- amidst all age distinct ions, variety of cultural sections, and all income sections. Such miscomprehensions are recurring, and involvement and care are unlikely to be found. Many people have the belief that children having mental well-being difficulties are just under the impact of a particular passing cloud.

Thanks for your time and willingness to participate Appendix D – Intervention Manual using TIDieR templateBrief Name: 6-month Residential aftercare programs for juvenile delinquents Why: To foster positive behavioral change and minimize the risk of recidivism among juvenile delinquents Materials: magazines and publications on the negative effects of involvement in crime, publications on signs of mental health, videos on criminality and its negative impact on the individual and community, and testimonials from community champions and celebrities who changed from a life of crime. All these materials are to be made physically available to participants. Procedures (Strategies): Talks and seminars by role models and champions of behavioral change such as ex-offenders who turned from criminality and are now leading positive lives Spiritual talks and teachings to foster Godly behavior Involving participants as peer educators in school forums and community events to sensitize youth on the negative effects of engaging in crime Counseling services to help participants address mental health issues that could be risk factors for recidivism Workshops and talks geared at instilling basic life and job-related skills Apprenticeship opportunities for youth who show immense behavioral change Who Provides Intervention: juvenile detention center staff and chaplains, youth leaders, celebrities who changed from lives of crime, social workers, religious leaders, professional counselors How: teachings are to be provided to participants in a group setting through face-to-face delivery Where: at selected residential facilities to be constructed by private organizations and non-governmental organizations through donor support within major towns in Durham. To begin with, the program will be carried out at an old church hall at the World Overcomers Church, which has the capacity to house 20 participantsWhen and at How Much: intervention is to begin immediately a juvenile delinquent is released from incarceration or a juvenile detention facility. The aftercare program will serve as the channel for juvenile delinquents’ transition from the criminal justice system into the community and participants will be resident for a period of 6 months. The program is to be run by non-governmental organization through donor funding, and will thus be offered to participants free of charge Tailoring: talks and workshops will be provided based on the needs of participants at the time Modifications: program coordinators will be allowed to make relevant changes to the program curriculum if need be How well Planned: the intervention is executed based on primary input from key stakeholders who interact with juvenile delinquents in Durham and can thus be assumed to be both relevant and objective How well implemented: the impact of the intervention program and how well it was implemented is to be assessed at the end of every year. Success will be measured by the number of participants who obtain employment upon completion of the program and the number of participants who recidivate as a proportion of the total number of participants in a given year. The program coordinators expect that at least 75 percent of participants who go through the aftercare program will attain complete positive behavioral change https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=6266 Alvarez,
unning Head: BOUNDAIES ISSUES BOUNDAIES ISSUES 5Boundaries IssuesProfessional boundaries are elements within the therapeutic system that define the limits or \\\"edge\\\" of proper behavior on the part of a psychotherapist within therapeutic settings. The basic idea here is: emphasis on the key elements of the client-therapist relationships professional nature cultivates an environment of predictability and safety, facilitating the clients ability to make the most of treatment received (Gabbard, 2005). Professional boundaries constitute structural facets of the therapeutic relationship which enable therapist interactions with spontaneity, compassion, and understanding, and within particular conditions which generate a safe clinical environment.Flexibility during the conceptualization and implementation of professional boundaries results in effective differentiation between crossing boundaries and violating them. Violation of boundaries entails non-sexual or sexual transgressions which potentially harm or abuse patients. They are generally repetitive, with the therapist normally discouraging their exploration (Gabbard, 2005). On the other hand, boundaries are said to…...

Group treatment of a scapegoat himself or herself, as Clark further suggests, will function distinctly, at different stages of group counseling. In general, however, Clark notes, "scapegoating," at whatever stage of group process, provokes particular "defense mechanisms," within group counseling processes, that necessitate counselor intervention, in order to re-establish group equilibrium.
Clark also points out the importance, for counselors of groups that are exhibiting the behavior of having chosen a scapegoat, of "adopting a progressive stage model of group development" (Scapegoating [sic]: Dynamics and intervention in group counseling (Journal of counseling and development, July 1, 2002) so that intervention methods and strategies may be effectively based on the group's stage of counseling within which the "scapegoating" [sic] is taking place.
In this way, Clark further suggests, the group counselor will be able to best process and react constructively to group interactions in which a scapegoat is being targeted. Otherwise, the sort…...

Interstitial Cystitis
In addition to the therapeutic armamentarium, CAM reported to have a great role to treat interstitial cystitis (IC). It is multimodal and individualized and includes various treatment methods including: Neuromodulation, dietary modification, acupuncture, surgical methods, medications etc. The objective of this literature review is to discuss the possible causes of the IC, diagnosis, prevalence, the symptoms, and CAM treatment options.
Interstitial cystitis (IC) also called as painful bladder syndrome is an inflammatory disease of the bladder wall with typical ulceration of the urothelium. The interstitial cystitis (IC) is generally regarded as an elusive disease picture with inadequate therapeutic options. Critical to improving the prospects for therapy is the early diagnosis of the disease, which may involve only a careful history taking and clinical examination. CAM suggests multimodal treatment strategies in the early stage of disease (Abrams, Cardozo, & Fall, 2002).

PECS VS. iPAD FO AUTISM
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has come to be known as one of the more afflicting and damaging mental disorders that affect people around the world, particularly when it comes to the youth. As the understanding of the disorder increases, so do the types and forms of therapies and tools that can be used to combat and treat the disorder. While more traditional interventions like pharmacological and traditional therapy methods are still quite common and pervasive when it comes to the normal treatment courses, there has been the emergence of solutions in particular as a means to assist or create a therapeutic environment for children with autism. A technology-based solution for autism treatment and assistance is the iPad, a product of Apple Corporation. A non-technology solution that is prolifically and commonly used is known as the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). What follows in this report is…...

Developmental Audit (DA) provides an alternative assessment beyond traditional standardized tests and psychiatric diagnosis. It explores a young person's motivations, beliefs, and behaviors within the ecological context of family, school, peer group, and community (Bronfenbrenner, 1986). This paper seeks to determine the intricacies as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the DA and how to effectively employ the DA regarding vulnerable youth. The keys to discerning the perceptions and experiences of the young person and those who know this individual best include a number of variables provided from a number and variety of resources. The DA is used in a number of different settings and according to Brendtro et al. (2012) those settings can include schools, treatment centers and juvenile outreach programs, and of course, in the courts. Brendtro surmises that the DA is not just an information gathering tool, but that it can also be used to…...

Psychoanalysis
The opening phase of dynamic psychotherapy helps the therapist to understand why the patient is seeking treatment; what kind of triggers to current problems are present; and house troubled the patient is in terms of both physical and psychological health (text p. 41). Yalom (1989) allows for several sessions of introductory therapy, also in keeping with the psychodynamic model. At this introductory phase, the therapist gets an idea of what treatment options to present and how to proceed. Yalom (1989) also determines the frequency of the treatment in the introductory phase (text p. 41). The core way that the relationship between Yalom (1989) and Carlos exemplifies psychodynamic therapy is in regards to the transference neurosis, which intensifies in therapy (text p. 53). However, transference is worked through as a core element of the therapeutic process. In the case with Carlos, neurotic transference is exemplified most clearly in the way Carlos…...
