The suitability for Jason for cognitive interventions is high. My reasons for this are the client’s psychosocial stressors such as homelessness, lack of support system, and his financial situation. Also his self-awareness that he thinks no one would care if he drank himself to death. Cognitive therapy would be good here to help Jason deal with his automatic thoughts. Jason has been using for quite some time, and his short-term memory is impaired, which cognitive therapy can help with. Cognitive therapy will also help Jason adapt back into his community with a positive mind to stay sober and beat his triggers. He is also a good candidate for cognitive therapy because he can have one on one session; a bio-psycho-social has been done on Jason as well, and because in our clinic …show more content…
Jason has three goals he would like to achieve while he is in treatment. The first goal is to strengthen his long term sobriety skills. The objective scores for this goal are to list triggers (person, places, and things) that come before a relapse, also to complete a ten page autobiography and process that with his primary therapist. His second goal is to reduce the level of depression he has. The objective scores are to list five ways a higher power can help reduce depression, and make a gratitude list with at least ten items, and then process them with his primary therapist. The third goal Jason would like to achieve is to obtain a positive support network. The objective scores for this goal are to meet with a twelve step program individual and discuss support for recovery, also to obtain at least ten phone numbers of people that have long term sobriety. While in treatment Jason has a few modalities which are; individual sessions two times a week, family therapy two times a week, and process and didactic groups two times a
Cognitive behavioural therapy has been proven to be effective in the treatment of child and adolescent depression (Lewinsohn & Clarke, 1999; Harrington et al, 1998, March et al, 2004). There is general agreement in the clinical literature that the techniques of cognitive behavioural approaches to therapy are likely to be effective in treating depression (Brewin, 1996; Beech, 2000).
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most extensively tested psychotherapies for depression. Many studies have confirmed the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment for depression. This paper will provide background information about the intervention, address the target population, and describe program structure and key components. It will also provide examples of program implementation, challenges/barriers to implementing the practice, address how the practice supports recovery from a serious mental illness standpoint and provide a summary. Although there are several types of therapy available to treat depression and other mood disorders, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) has been one of the most widely
Current literature suggests that the practising of cognitive therapy techniques on oneself is a valuable and useful way to learn about cognitive therapy (Beck, 1995; Padesky & Greenberger, 1995; Padesky, 1996). Padesky (1996, p. 288), for instance has written: ‘‘To fully understand the process of the therapy, there is no substitute for using cognitive therapy methods on oneself “. Beck (1995, p. 312) advises readers ‘‘to gain experience with the basic techniques of cognitive therapy by practising them yourself before doing so with patients . . . trying the techniques yourself allows you to correct
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a theory that deals with depression and ways to relieve the depression. The theory is based on the assumption that events happen and affect the behavior and emotions of an individual. When a positive event happens, there are three things that get to the depressed individual. First, the depressed child or adult think about the event. The depressed person selectively chose the negative aspect of the event and sees themselves as failure. Second, the emotions of the child or individual go down. Third, what the person does is withdrawal, de-activation,
Client will be asked to list three goals that she would like to achieve. “Goal setting is the process of collaborative identifying specific therapeutic outcomes for treatment”. Since sessions are not long three goals is a realistic number to approach. All of the goals must be measurable, observable, and achievable. Client goals are as followed: Feeling comfortable outside of her home, participating in senior program in neighborhood, and to travel downtown into the city and experience activities that she once enjoyed. Counselor agrees that the goals client listed are achievable. Both counselor and client can now develop an

Client meets the diagnosis of severe alcohol use disorder (F10.20). Due to his continuous problems associated with alcohol use, along with lack of sober support system and relapse prevention skills, client can benefit from the alcohol and drug treatment.
Even without a cure doctors throughout the world have found treatments for patients to cope with the disease. People with PTSD usually have to get a treatment called Cognitive Therapy. In cognitive therapy, a therapist will lead them into understanding and change how they approach the trauma and after it happens. Thoughts about the trauma can cause stress and make symptoms worse for their everyday lives and this therapy is to help them cope with those problems (“Treatment of PTSD”). Cognitive-processing therapy is to assist many victims of different scenarios who get diagnosed with PTSD. This treatment includes exposure and emphasis on the therapy because it could help people avoid the wrong thinking of the actual event. This treatment also
In it's simplest form, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (or CBT as it will be referred to from here on out), refers to the approach of changing dysfunctional behaviors and thoughts to realistic and healthy ones. CBT encompasses several types of therapy focusing on the impact of an individual's thinking as it relates to expressed behaviors. Such models include rational emotive therapy (RET), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), behavior therapy (BT), Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT), Schema Focused Therapy, Cognitive therapy (CT). Most recently a few other variations have been linked to CBT such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), and
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is now growing within today’s society. It is very popular as it is efficient with known to have long lasting treatments for with many individuals who suffer from psychological problems. However, there has been some parsimony and empiricism within in CBT, it aims to be parsimonious. CBT is a short intensive course. The course of the treatment mostly lasts 30-60 minutes long with 5-20 sessions. Just when you are settling into the treatment and becoming comfortable with the therapist. Tim Hill (2016) emphasises that patients build up a sense of trust in the person who is trying to help you, the treatment comes to an end. This is to help meet goals within the NHS management who struggle to meet targets. Being cheap, quick and simplistic, CBT of course appeals to the government.
Client presented staff with a challenge when asked to work on today’s assignment because he believed none of the relapse warning signs applied to him, and he claimed could give a reason why for each of the 53 signs. It was pointed out that he must have relapsed since he is in a DUI II program and was asked about the circumstances that led up to this occurring. After hearing a quite lengthy and convoluted response, he inadvertently revealed that he actually had at least several relapse warning signs including I resent the people closest to me, I don’t believe I’ll ever have fun sober, and perhaps most salient, I am overconfident in my recovery. Subsequently, however, he did not admit these things directly, and did not actively fill out anything on the relapse worksheet and presents with the attitude that since he has a sponsor, goes to meetings, and feels he no longer wants a life that is riddled with consequences due to his drinking, that “he’s got this.” After being given a caveat about complacency, client did fill out a separate worksheet and listed 10 positive people, places, or things, and seemed to have an authentic grasp on what these should look like. Interestingly, he did choose to list “Think I can do this” in the Negative column, possibly showing some recognition of the lurking dangers of
One of the most challenging aspects of this school program has been trying to recognize a theoretical orientation that I can identify with. Throughout the course of this class, I have discovered various aspects that have remained consistent within my personal wants and desires for group, which have allowed me to focus my attention on which approaches fit well with my style of therapy. The following will describe the key concepts of the cognitive behavioral approach; a view of the roles of the therapist and group members; key developmental tasks and therapeutic goals, techniques, and methods; and the stages in the evolution of a group. An integration of two additional theoretical orientations will also be included.
