Cbt Case Study Psy 270

The goal of therapy is to reduce and control deviant behaviours that cause suicidal thoughts and self-destruction, as well as to focus on the unconscious and underlying meaning behind the disorder. The symptoms that she is experiencing, including, extreme emotions, continuous suicidal thoughts, negative eating habits, and depression can be lessened by professional counselling as it will teach her how to focus on managing emotions by controlling feelings of extreme anger or happiness. The types of therapy that I feel would benefit Diana Miller the most are cognitive-behavioural therapy and dialectical

CBT therapists use the first session or two to complete a problem analysis, perform a detailed assessment and create a case formulation with the client. The therapist seeks to identify: 1) the behaviors, emotions, and thoughts which make the situation a problem, 2) predisposing factors, often going back to childhood and adolescents, 3) precipitants, 4) protective factors, 5) triggers, 6) symptoms, and 7) maintenance cycles (O’Connell, 2012). This starts the session out with a very problem-focused discussion encouraging growth of the problem, with goal setting often not starting until the second

I would like to take a moment and thank Sgt. Marler who I believe excels as a supervisor. He has shown that time after time on cases that are assigned to investigators that he doesn’t mind helping. He helps anywhere from answering questions to staying over several hours for investigator to complete a task. Sgt. Marler conutiouly tells investigators that they do a GOOD JOB in which I believe helps the morale and gives us more confidence in our job. When I have asked for help Sgt. Marler doesn’t hesitate to help in any way possible.

In the first session that was held with client Jane Smith it was to determine what the client was suffering from. Counselor agreed with community social worker that client exemplifies characteristics of Agoraphobia. The key characteristic that was identified in client’s behavior was that she does not leave her home. Client has a fear of being in public places. Client depends on her granddaughter to do all of her out of the home errands. After a multitude of characteristics were identified, intervention/treatment plan can be developed. Client alongside counselor will work together to develop an effective treatment plan. In reference to CBT a treat plan is “strategy between patient and therapist that gives direction to therapeutic process”. Client will be in charge of developing three goals that she will like to complete or work toward during sessions.

Through this approach Jessica could most benefit. The therapist would conduct a evaluation using the five axes of DSM-IV. Using examples from patients' recent distressing experiences, therapists conceptualize and help patients understand how their thinking has influenced their emotions and behavior. They emphasize that patients get better by making small, daily changes in their thinking and behavior and that the overall goal of treatment is to teach patients to become their own therapist. Therapists elicit feedback from the patient about the treatment plan and modify it, if needed. They then elicit specific behavioral goals that the patient wishes to accomplish as a result of treatment (Judith S. Beck 2010). Jessica would most likely respond well because of the small life changes and steps to reaching hers goals, but also may have difficulties pulling herself out of her current patterns of

The earned value analysis has led to see the project will control the actual budget, which is $18,000. The actual cost at the period 4 totaled to be $7,050, and total of earned value at period 4 is $7,750. The estimate at completion for typical is $22,550. These variances show that this project will exceed the original budget of $18,000, so we are still exceeding the project’s original budgets. The SPI is less than a value of 1, which means that the project will also over schedule and activity plans. The requests immediate actions from the third-party company.

Another therapist I found is named Anne Taylor Wilson, she is a “psychological associate” and she hopes to help people live rich and meaningful lives. She specializes in mood disorders, relationship issues, and self esteem. She can also work with obsessive compulsive disorder.

Introduction There are many counselling theories a counsellor needs to learn and consider as a professional. This case study will focus on a young female named Sandra and how cognitive behavioural therapy can help her to move on from the issues she is currently facing in her life. A discussion will be presented on the current issues Sandra is facing and also any personal or professional challenges a counsellor or therapist may face when working with this client. Main Issues

The main goal of CBT is to help individuals and families cope with their problems by changing their maladaptive thinking and behavior patterns and improve their moods (Blackburn et al, 1981). Intervention is driven by working hypotheses (formulations) developed jointly by patient, his/her family and therapist from the assessment information. Change is brought about by a variety of possible interventions, including the practice of new behaviors, analysis of faulty thinking patterns, and learning more adaptive and rational self-talk skills. (Hawton, Salkovskis, Kirk, and Clark, 1989).

The author goal of this article is to educate the audience who has a little knowledge/ information about the topic. The author gives brief explanations how the program is working on helping the elderly with mental disorders. She outlines the central benefit of CBT program on patients to controlling their emotion and behaviors. The author specifically emphases on CBT program because this program focuses on person’s feeling, thought, and behaviors. The author states that the goals of CBT program are established collaboratively and are designed to reduce the patient’s symptoms early. This article is significant for my research because it provides me a clear information that supports my agreements. The strength that was observed in the article

This includes clients suffering from anxiety, depression, panic disorder and other unstable emotions. Because this therapy works sufficiently towards specific goals, a patient claiming to be unhappy will not benefit unless he has certain aspects he would like to work on. CBT treatment is based on two levels: soft and pure. Soft CBT treats very mild and minor conditions where as pure treats more complex patients by the means of assessment and examination. Therapy works in a series of steps over five to twenty weekly sessions. The objective is for the psychiatrist to reinforce the client’s negative thoughts, with more positive and relaxing thoughts. In order for this to occur the specialist will analyze his or her thoughts and behaviors to observe the influence they have on the patient. They will establish coping skills the client may use when he or she is facing a situation that raises their anxiety or anger

Throughout our life we come across a variety of obstacles, they can range from facing your fear of spiders or overcoming a lifestyle of bad decisions. For every problem, there is almost always a solution, and in order to reach the solution you must locate the underlying issue. Sometimes people will doubt that such issues exist, but once they have discovered their predicaments they tend to look for help. Say for instance a young girl named Annabel was badly beaten as a child, she then grew up having an addiction problem to heavy drugs. Looking for a way to escape her past, and neglecting to face her fears, her addiction began to climax. Later resulting in a near death experience, that sent her on a journey to recovery. There are several different psychotherapies that she could look into in order to get the assistance she needs such as: psychodynamic, client-centered, counterconditioning, or cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. Each therapy is unique in their own way and potentially suitable for Annabel.

You did an excellent job answering this week’s discussion board question. The Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is an excellent way to deter criminal activities. The triangle that you attached to your post helps to demonstrated the overall concept of CPTED. The as the number of possible targets and opportunities to commit criminal activities increase, the more criminal activities will be committed. However, If you enhance a location using CPTED you decrease the number of possible targets and opportunities to commit criminal activities, in turn decreases the overall number of number of crimes that will be committed. You focused on cities using CPTED to enhance neighborhoods to decrease the overall level of crimes.

CBT is an integrated approach using various combinations of cognitive and behavioral modification interventions and techniques (Myers, 2005). The aim is to change maladaptive patterns of thinking and behaving that impact clients in the present (Weiten et al., 2009). From a cognitive behavioral perspective Jane would be diagnosed as having faulty thinking and dysfunctional behavioral issues suffering from depression, and anxiety in the form of Agoraphobia (Weiten et al., 2009).

I also had one client who was schizoaffective with depressive features. He was only 19 years old and very difficult to open up. I researched schizoaffective disorder, as well as CBT, and CBT was also a therapy that was suggested for this population (Gray & Zide, 2006). I tried giving this young man homework assignments to track his depression and moods, but he would not do the homework assignments. I would talk with his mother, with his permission, about helping remind him to do the homework. She helped him one week, but he just would not engage in his own therapy. I tried giving him adult coloring book pages to do when his anxiety began to affect him, but he would never do that either. He was probably my most difficult client, and the one I felt like I helped the least. None of the research I did on depression and schizoaffective disorder was beneficial with this client. I would discuss his case with medical, and the Physician’s Assistant was at a loss as to how to help this young man. She had changed his medications repeatedly with no success.
