Humanistic/Existential Model

Raul’s difficulties started at the young age of eighteen months, where doing this time his mother suffered the traumatic loss of her brother. This loss incapacitated Raul’s mother, as she was unable to get out of bed for weeks and this resulted in Raul being neglected. Shortly thereafter, Raul started banging his head. In addition, Raul’s younger sister was born prematurely and she required a substantial amount of care and attention, which caused further neglect for Raul. With his mom suffering from bouts

On the other, the existential/humanistic perspectives came up with self-actualization which is the innate process where one tends to grow spiritually and realize one’s potential (). These hierarchy of needs have five levels, namely; physiological needs, safety and security needs, the need for love and belonging, esteem needs, and the

Verbal prompts, redirection to remain focused on a given task, minimize outdoor play, reduced iPad games and parent meeting. The results of interventions are diverse. Adriel would respond to previous intervention such as less outdoor play and parent meeting by behaving in class and follow directions for outdoor play for the first two days of the week and then the behavior occurs again. Verbal prompting often works for the first 2 minutes and then the behavior occurs again. The support and one-to-one attention given from the staff during transitions decreased the incidents of noncompliance, pushing and yelling. The staff will model, role play, practice and discuss all these intervention strategies to support Adriel. He will be given attention when he shows replacement behaviors.

In assessing Raul and Norma, it would be imperative for the therapist to encourage input and

Andrew reported ankle, waist and shoulder pain, including weakness, confusion, and anxiety and too frightened to move out of his bed. “One man recalls I had awakened early, but I had just lay there what was the use of getting up to a miserable day” (Kraines & Thetford 2002). He stated that being too tired and too overwhelmed to cut up the meat in his plate. Unable to perform house hold responsibilities. For example, washing, and cleaning his belongs. Specially, Andrew reported that his loss of his mother contributed to his depression. He is taking anti-depressant and sedative drug. A good cognitive psychiatric will determine the effective drug for him. I am applying a cognitive model because they have focus to know the underlying negative thoughts, feeling poor decision, and painful emotion. Cognitive therapy knows how Andrew feels and how to talk to him regarding the loss of his mother and his

This therapy begins by teaching the patients to notice any dysfunctional thoughts and inaccuracies in their ways of thinking, then the therapist encourages their patients to think rationally, leading to the encouragement of their patients to reconsider their current beliefs about themselves, the trauma, and the world. The earlier sessions’ main focuses are to help the patients recognize what they have thought and to calculate those thoughts by probabilistic reasoning, Socratic questioning, and to have the patients provide pros and cons of those thoughts. In later sessions, patients were able to identify, evaluate, and change inaccurate beliefs about the trauma, self, world, and future (Marks et al., 1998). They ended the sessions with a new, positive way of thinking. The only downfall of cognitive restructuring is that its treatment is spread out over a period of

I choose Anthony because he is always throwing a fit. The behavior would like to change is the fit throwing the reason for wanting to change the behavior is that he screaming like if someone is hurting him. On one of the day I was observing Anthony was throwing a fit to get mom’s attention so that she would go with him to his toy box, instead of saying “mom go” he started screaming form the top of his lungs, the consequences of this fit was that mom put him in a time out. There were no setting events that influence his behavior. The function of the behavior is that Anthony wants to get mom’s attention. My goal statement is was to get to use is words. my first prevention I used was, to give him words to use instead of screaming

In view of the above, Andres needs a personal care provided or learning coach after school hours to work on his behavior issues. He also needs respite services for weekend and vacations. As of now, outings and vacations are not possible, limiting the family social interactions. Examples of Andres behaviors during outings are: screaming in stores, trying to run away, running towards moving cars in parking lot, touching people that walk by, spitting, etc.

An important element in evidence-based practice, similarly to teaching, is a strong alliance between student and therapist (or student and teacher). I have been intentionally present for and congruent with Carlos which for me has meant actively listening and engaging him in our conversation. Within this framework, I chose to be energetic in my tone to draw Carlos out as well to compete for his attention given all the other salient events within the school. While it took a few sessions before I sensed Carlos truly believed I had his best interests at heart, I think he now trusts the relationship to the extent that he seems freer to divulge issues troubling him. The process of building a bridge between therapist and client has given me insight into the idea that change happens at its own pace, sometimes rapidly, often at a slower rate. With Carlos, change is certainly taking place, most noticeably in his physical growth reminding me that much is happening outside of my control and that interventions should be focused on how I can empower Carlos toward understanding himself and making good decisions.

Carlos, is a 32 year old Latino, who has numerous presenting symptoms that implicate he’s suffering from major depressive disorder. For the last six months the factors triggering his depression appear to have elicited more. During his assessment, Carlos mentioned he lost his brother a year ago, felt unhappy, and considers taking his life away. The last few weeks these feelings have increased in him frequently. Many people like Carlos that share a traumatic loss of family members exhibit symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, difficulty sleeping, concentrating, anxiety, aggression, and depression (Lesser & Pope, 2011). There are several things that have led Carlos to feel this way like living beneath his accustomed standards,

If I were the client I think I would have responded quite well to Jerry's therapy techniques. Since everybody has those irrational thoughts after they may have failed or felt they failed in some aspect of their life. The issue with Stan was that he allowed his irrational ideas to become rational and thus alter his behavior on unfounded beliefs. For me, I think that I too sometimes allow some irrational thinking to hinder my actions, however, not nearly as Stan. Although those thoughts do cause me to react slower than usual then do not cripple me. The Cognitive Restructuring is useful in the sense that it allows the individual to witness an alternative way of thinking. This I would find useful, since, when I do think similar to Stan I

is the use of toys and treats to motivate him.  Make it appear that the

In a humanistic therapy approach or a person-centered psychoanalysis, the therapist’s center of attention is on the conscious of the client to show their awareness. In this environment, such as the therapist displays realism, acceptance and kindness, as an effort in helping the client to openly convey their feelings. These types of sessions allows for information to flow between the client and the therapist in a humanistic genuineness, realness, professional and no façade way. The idea is for the client to freely express their thought and feelings to the psychotherapists so that in return kindness and acceptance is

standard cognitive therapy in which aims to modify the substance of thoughts, might upset the patient's acceptance of inner experiences and the answer to which has been proposed through the methods and approaches of the third wave. These approaches set forward changing the patient's association with their own interior events, a procedure that can be incorporated into standard CBT (Hayes, 1999, and Segal,

The activity scheduling, specifically reading to his kids, brought about more positive reinforcement and belief challenging. Carlos could read to his kids with a “clear head” and thus proved to himself that he could continue doing activities he used to do without suffering a nervous breakdown or undue stress. Additionally, these activities may even cause him pleasure and further future repetition. By leaving work by 8:00am every morning, which Carlos could do, he found a maladaptive behavior and noted it to the psychologist: “He could do it, but had learned that it was important not get caught up in what he termed a ‘stall mode’ in the morning”. Carlos could further note the “stall mode” occurring in other aspects of behaviors and cognitions and even offered a solution for it. This outcome is allowing Carlos to take a more active role in the therapy and really contribute in the collaborative empiricism with his psychologist. Additionally, this is fueling an adaptive belief that Carlos is a well-functioning individual who can identify and provide solutions for his problems.
