In this essay I will discuss and evaluate “The relationship is the theory” Judgements are based on personal knowledge & experience as well as written material composed by others. The basic principle being “the therapy is the relationship”, does this imply engaging a therapist equates to therapy or does it propose more?…
The appropriate short-term goals for this intervention are designed for the client to help reduce fear. The client should join a support group with other individuals that suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The support group should be conducted by a licensed professional. The Client should be able to identify when the fear is taking over his life. The client should also make a list of items that appear to have a positive and negative effect on dealing with the fear. Along with the list of positive and negatives, the client should make a list of items that stimulate the fear. Leaning different interests and creating…
Friends and family also part of the supporting network but rarely come without their own opinions or advice, some could mean well and some negative, not always in the interest of the client, a personal example to me would be when I was in a violet relationship and family and friends was always there to offer supportive and advice, my family always helped with my daughter and gave me advice but also gave me negative feedback about how my life was affecting my daughters which made me feel bad and didn’t help me in my situation. Friends and family have a different outlook to that of a helper/counsellor; despite being supportive they wish you would split from your boyfriend as they never liked him.…

The therapeutic milieu is an environment where a client and health care professional interact in the course of alteration and growth. A child and youth worker takes on a critical role in the process of educating, healing, recovering and rehabilitation. The environment is divided in to five fundamental elements which are; physical, emotional, social, cultural and ideological. They are shown overlapping each other in the text because each is dependent on the other. If the environment does not meet the need of a child during treatment under these elements, the…

The process consultant must be keenly aware of the different roles individual members take on in a group. Both upon entering and while remaining in a group, the individual must determine a self-identity influence, and power that will satisfy personal needs while working to accomplish group goals. Preoccupation with individual needs or power struggles can reduce the effectiveness of a group severely, and unless the individual can expose and share those personal needs to some degree, the group is unlikely to be…
I agree with your example of individuals participating in individual therapy are for those who feel it would be much easier to express their feelings with someone who does not have any prejudice or have any personal influences. For me personally I would want to work on my own issues before I participate in family therapy. Conflicts that arise in family therapy will be difficult to deal with at home. It will be hard to forget the things said in the session when you live with the people are are in conflict with. I think families who attend family therapy should not leave the session full of conflict. If they can try come to an understanding and try to work on any issues they have while considering the feedback and advice of the therapist would…
Despite the many alternate forms of incorporating mindfulness into therapeutic techniques, all mindfulness-based practices involve a basic instruction in mindfulness meditation. Different techniques will emphasize varying aspects of mindfulness according to the symptoms or disorders being treated, yet they all follow a similar general format, starting “with psychoeducation, in which clients learn about the foundational elements of mindfulness, including the tendencies of the human mind to become preoccupied with thinking about the past, planning for the future, and labeling and making judgments about everyday experiences” (Brown et al., 2013). It is possible that the enlightenment effect could play a role in mindfulness…
Individual therapy is a key component in addiction treatment. Many rehabs already offer group therapy and addiction education. To get a greater benefit from treatment, patients need individualized treatment. Every person is different, so each patient needs a treatment that is tailored to their unique needs.…
Whether you are in a romantic relationship, platonic relationship, or even a familial relationship, there is always advice for how to have a better one. Whether it is hanging out and “being one of the guys,” or giving him a quick kiss instead of a full blown public display of affection, these are the tips to making your relationship better (cosmo). Movies and television tell women to be okay with relationships that are not “too serious” but to not just be a “hook up girl” either. These are the things our society has taught us from a young age. Scientifically, previous studies have listed a number of ways to make relationships better. Things such as good communication, trust, task sharing, and emotional disclosure (Millar Teddar). Couples who…
Do you ever picture or imagine yourself twenty years from now? I do! I once asked myself “What will be in my career?” I then wanted to know what I wanted to be when I grow up… a recreational therapist!…
In terms of constructing my research paper, I have to organize the information with the perspective of writing to an audience, and ask myself, will my audience understand what I’m trying to say here? Is there any confusion or need for clarification? So, I believe the best approach will be to first start of clearly identifying what prompted my research or what inspired me to talk about dignity therapy. I will identify the research question that is the foundation of my research paper. Moreover, I will give a description of what dignity therapy is and what differentiates it from life review because life review is commonly used for patients at the end of life and has similar characteristics to dignity therapy. However, I have to clearly identify the major difference.…
