Treatment Plan When a Client Presents for

Treatment Plan

When a client presents for alcohol addiction, one of the most fundamental facts a therapist should understand is that the substance and its physical effects on the body is seldom the fundamental reason for continued struggle. During the first step of creating a treatment plan, the therapist should therefore consider the underlying psychological and mental conditions that might have led to the first appearance of the abuse or dependence problem, while reasons for relapse should also be closely investigated. In other words, a whole-person approach should be used when assessing the client and creating a treatment plan. This is also the case with James, whose long-term alcohol abuse condition seems closely related to his initial family relationships and later to internalized psychological conditions created by these formative years. As such, the treatment plan should include four basic steps; the assessment, detoxification, active treatment, and relapse prevention.

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 be denied based on race, creed, religious belief, sexual orientation, or previous criminal history. The letter and spirit of the laws regarding confidentiality and the use of patient's records should also be adhered to. A client must be able to trust that the information disclosed in therapy sessions will not ever be leveraged against them unless they have specific knowledge of a criminal act which results in duly appointed authorities being awarded a subpoena for the records, or they express…… [Read More]

Treatment Plan Using Assessment Results

Intensity of the patient's illness, long-term prognosis, balance between medical and somatic symptoms, and realistic goal-setting will influence the patient's ability to function and his or her treatment (Groth-Marnat, 2009, p.604).

Duration of the treatment course is another factor to consider: Long vs. short-range treatment duration is determined by the intensity of the disorder; its specificity; the age and level of social support of the patient; and the patient's level of 'premorbid' functioning. A phobic anxiety disorder requiring short-term treatment vs. A chronic bipolar disorder provides a contrast in the two different approaches: one is ideal for symptom-focused cognitive behavioral therapy while the other requires more generalized physical and medical treatment. or some disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, no treatment at the time may be indicated, until the patient is willing to use the therapy correctly, and not merely as a way to further his or her disorder (Groth-Marnat,…… [Read More]

Family Systems Therapy Treatment Plan

conceptualizing a case from a systems-Based perspective?

A systems-based perspective takes into account multiple variables and relationships, including those that may be peripheral to the individual. While conceptualizing the case, the therapist takes into account the client's symptoms, the client's goals, and the client's perspective or worldview. The therapist also considers the various relationship dynamics that are impacting the current set of issues or symptoms. A systems approach also implies that the therapist needs to recognize the importance of family and personal history, even when focusing on a solution-oriented approach to therapy. Using a systems perspective allows the therapist to conceptualize a case thoroughly and with maximum clarity.

Culture, language, religion, ethnicity, age, gender, socioeconomic status, and other aspects of personal identity formation and social belongingness are also integral to a systems-based perspective. Each of these factors will have influenced cognitive variables and also identity formation. When conceptualizing a case,…… [Read More]

Alcohol and drug abuse is not limited to any socioeconomic category, race, religion, or gender. Finding the right drug, the right type of support group, and the right type of intervention can be a long and difficult process.

Enforcement of Psychology Treatment for the Mentally Ill

Psychology Treatment

For most of U.S. history up to the time of the Community Mental Health Act of 1963, the mentally ill were generally warehoused in state and local mental institutions on a long-term basis. Most had been involuntarily committed by orders from courts or physicians, and the discharge rate was very low. Before the 1950s and 1960s, there were few effective treatments for mental illnesses like depression, anxiety disorders and schizophrenia, which were commonly considered incurable. Only with the psycho-pharmacological revolution in recent decades and new anti-depressant and anti-psychotic medications has it been possible for the severely mentally ill to be treated on an outpatient basis through community mental health centers. Of course, as the old state hospitals have emptied many of the mentally ill have ended up homeless, since they are unable to hold maintain regular employment or continue on a medication regimen without supervision.

Historically, nursing, and medicine professions have been loath to utilize tools commonly linked with mercenary aspects of business, such as market research and decision analysis.

The division of the market or market segmentation into different subgroups allows the determination of target markets and the buildup of marketing policies specific to the needs and interests of the selected subgroups. Market analysis allows the identification of policies for nurse practitioners to enhance their practice in a way that centers on the interests and needs of the selected market.

Patient Perceptions of Participation in Treatment Several

Patient Perceptions of Participation in Treatment

Several studies have revealed that patients generally prefer to learn everything they can about their illness and the proposed treatment plan, and even have some control during the planning stage (reviewed in Lund, Tamm, and Branholm, 2001). On the other hand, studies have found that occupational therapists typically underestimate this desire and tend to perceive patients as passive and uncooperative. The gap between the patient's wishes to actively participate and the therapists' perceptions of that willingness can result in a number of problems, including patient compliance with treatment plans and goals. Strategies to minimize the size of this gap could therefore lead to more effective rehabilitation of the patient's disability.

Over the last thirty years, one of the most interesting paradoxes in the study and treatment of depression has been that increased knowledge about the biomedical and genetic causes of the disease has been coupled with a renewed interest in the effect of religion and spirituality on human mental health and well-being. No matter how religion and spirituality are defined -- and many scholars and laypersons see no great distinctions between the two -- there are now hundreds of studies that demonstrate the beneficial effects of religion on both mental and physical health. Indeed, the more firmly held and intrinsic a person's religious convictions are, the more salutary the effect. eligious people are more optimistic, hopeful and trusting, and have more purpose and meaning in life than those with weak or no religious views.

There are serious existential issues at stake, as Mr. P has wondered why God has not "taken him" already, while Mrs. P may be suffering from depression given her inability to leave the house or handle the life affairs like paying the bills. Therefore, a recommended treatment plan would focus more attention on the mental and spiritual health of the couple without taking attention away from Mr. P's physical needs. It would also look after the physical health of Mrs. P as well as her psychological needs. As holistic nursing takes a "whole person" approach, it is the ideal philosophical framework for working with this small family unit.

Depression is a complex mood disorder that is characterized by various emotions, including sadness, self-blame, absence of pleasure and an overall sense of worthlessness, and by physical responses relating to sleep, appetite and motor symptoms. According to statistics, one in four adults will suffer from a depressive episode at some point in life. With a quarter of the population affected by depression, it is no wonder that one sees so many advertisements both on television and on billboards relating to the disorder. It is also understandable that many intellectual fields of study would give an opinion on what depression truly means and how it can be treated. This paper will thus examine psychological, sociological, cultural and biological theories on depression and will describe various treatments that take into account expertise from these various areas of study to better understand this complex…… [Read More]

Treatment and Counseling for Low Self Esteem

Anxiety and depression are the most commonly witnessed psychiatric disorders in adolescence. The prevalence of both anxiety disorder and depression increase in the adolescence period and progresses to young adulthood. The final result of these developments is low self-esteem. General prevalence measures for depression stand between 2 to 4%. Recurrence rates are placed at 70% in a span of five years. Point prevalence rates for anxiety disorders stand at 20% and show stability across one's life. Furthermore, anxiety and depression highly co-occur. They also occur along with other psychiatric complications (Lee & Hankin, 2009).

The main objective of providing treatment to patients is to relieve symptoms along with decreasing the progression of the disease as well as the mortality or morbidity. However, in some cases, this objective is not fully achieved, especially in the case of the patients who are admitted to the ICU with some serious and almost always a terminal stage of the disease. For example, when old patients are admitted in the ICU, their immunity is extremely low and this is the perfect time for the opportunistic infections to make matters worse for these patients. There are many infections that are specifically associated with patients admitted in the hospitals. Pseudomonas Aurigeonosa is a micro-organism that is well documented to cause bacterial pneumonia and bacteremia in the patients who are terminally ill and are receiving treatment in the hospital setting.

treatment modalities for conduct disordered adolescent males has primarily been focused on comorbidity. Adolescent males with conduct disorder typically receive individual and family therapy, but when overt behaviors are extreme, pharmacotherapy may supplant insight-based therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and social skills training are complementary approaches to intervention.
