Erapeutic Therapy

Putting aside the discussion on the effectiveness of one psychotherapeutic approach over another, it is clear that the differences in approaches appears to be minimal or small at the very least (Wampold,2001,2007,2010). And so we are left with the question: if the differences in effectiveness of approaches is minimal what are the other factors that influence the outcome of psychotherapy? On reviewing the evidence, Lambert & Bergin, (1994) firmly state that common factors account for positive outcomes in therapy and may be credited with “the gains that result from psychological interventions” (McFadzean, 2005).

One area that has had many studies conducted regarding the effects reflexology is Cancer treatment. The role of complementary therapy in this instance is to help manage a client’s symptoms that they may be experiencing from the aggressive cancer treatment. In 2000 Hodgson found using 12 patients who were in the palliative stage of cancer that there was 100% improvement in many areas of the lives of the participants within the group who were given reflexology, whereas the participants within the placebo group only reported an improvement of 67.6% within the same categories. The categories included their general mood, pain, mobility, tiredness, constipation, concentration and nausea.

Performing a descriptive analysis, Bearak and Jones (2017) examined data from two cross-sectional, national surveys of women ranging from 18 to 39 years

There are several approaches to integrate substance abuse treatment into the criminal justice process such as treatment while under drug court supervision, while in prison followed by community-based treatment, or as a condition of parole or probation. The Florida State prison system offers four types of treatment during incarceration, intensive outpatient, residential therapeutic community, transitional re-entry programs, work release center outpatient and after-care services, and outpatient, non-secure and secure community corrections SUD treatment programs (FDLE, 2013). However, due to lack of availability and limited financial support program efficacy remains highly questionable (FDLE, 2013). In general, currently

Within the study, the demographics of the participants were made available, including gender, age, race and ethnicity, marital status, and educational and employment status. Special consideration and statistical analysis was conducted for those in the High

Not only is yoga a healthy way to stay fit, but also gives emotional and spiritual support to those in recovery. Prinster researched yoga and found out that it strengthens the immune system, which provides protection against cancer recurrence. She constructed a system of yoga poses and sequences, each one based on needs of cancer survivors. This is the Yoga 4 Cancer method.

The strengths of the study is that is cost effective and does not require a lot of funding. Another strength is that George Mason University has a very diverse population, thus there is a high chance of obtaining a racially and culturally diverse group when randomly selecting the participants. Furthermore, the study also included staff and not only student in order to diversify the participant’s backgrounds as well. In addition, having both female and male participant’s makes it more diverse opposed to how many other studies that have solely focused on one gender. Although the study has many strengths, there are also some limitation to take note of. One of the major limitations is that the study is working with a very small sample size. In

My alternative explanatory variable is a binary variable of whether or not the respondent is female, with females being 52% of the sample. This variable is important because it could be used as an indication of whether women are more likely to undergo various hospital procedures as part of a routine wellness checkup or gender biasedness in care.

His study consisted of 68 female cancer patients who were randomly sorted into the intervention group or control group. They were evaluated using symptoms checklist (SCL-90-R) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EOR TC QLQ-30) and the Symptoms of Stress Inventory (SOSI). The treatment group patients practiced meditation, yoga, mindfulness communication skills and mindful breast self-examination/awareness in 2 hour classes weekly and at a 4 hour weekend retreat that was held on the 6th and 8th week of the program. The patients also practiced daily meditation or yoga for mild exercise at home for 45 minutes per day and kept daily

In a sample of 151 of participants (N=151), 109 participants (N=109) identify themselves as female while only 42 participants (N=42) were self-identify as male. In other words, females are embodied by the 72.7 percent of the population while male exemplify only the 27.8 percent of such population. Even though there was a significant difference, it does not affect the validity of the test, because both sexes were able to perform the test with equal opportunity. Later in this manual the reader can find that there were not gender bias founded on the test. By the contrary, the gender gap, which was founded into this test participants, only reflect a high education nationwide phenomenon, which is the gender gap in college students. As Alon and Gelbgiser (2011) explains, after the expansion of the higher education system, which took place in the 70s, started occurring many dramatic changes in the system. As a result of these changes, in the academic year 2004-2005, females incorporated the majority of student who received an undergraduate degree. To be exact, the 57 percent of bachelor degree recipients were females, according with the report of the US department of Education, 2005b (Alon and Gelbgiser,

In analyzing the data they took the collected information from NLSY and divided the number of men supervised by the number of individuals working that were also supervised. This provided a continuous measure of sex composition (217) for the dependent variable. The main independent variable is set to a number of questions asked where individual answers are coded “1”. The researches continue on with the tabling of codes in order to come to their results either confirming or disproving their

The General Well-being Schedule (GWBS) was used to capture general health and mood.23 The GWBS consists of 18 items that indicate subjective feelings of psychological well-being and distress. The first 14 questions use a six-point rating scale with anchors from 0 and 5 and the remaining four items use an eleven-point rating scale with anchors from 0 and 10. The total score can vary from 0 to 110 (high score indicating positive well-being and low distress). The interval 0–60 reflects severe distress, 61–72 moderate distress, and 73–110 positive well-being. The instrument has good internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and validity.23

After having analysed what the 50 women had to say in the Pilot study, the following Methodology was adopted for the final study. Quantitative Methodology with the Survey was considered the most feasible method for the present study. It is less oriented towards representatives and more towards finding associations and explanations, less towards description and more towards prediction, less lightly to ask ‘how many’, than ‘why’ and what goes with ‘what’.
