In Treatment2

Nineteen-year-old Amber diagnosed with Paranoia Schizophrenia is more in control but stress from school becoming and obstacle for her. Amber gets good grades and is very competitive with her self so much that she blames herself for not being able to cope with an intense school schedule. She looked for treatment and once a month visits her therapist. She states towards the end of the show she joined care group meeting (National alliance of mental illness) hoping to connect with others just like her. She was able to open up and tell others about her condition, something she had never done before.

In “The Yellow Wallpaper” the main character is constantly being told what she is and is not able to do such as “But he said I wasn’t able to go, nor able to stand it after I got there;… (Gilman)” This is an excellent example of her feeling oppressed, because her husband feels that he knows her capabilities better than she does. Another example of this is “’What is it little girl?’ he said. ‘Don’t go walking about like that—you’ll get cold.’ (Gilman)” This is an example of John thinking that her condition is so bad, she has to be treated like a child, constantly telling her what and what not to do. In “The Story of an Hour” the shows she has felt depressed with “There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. (Chopin)” After receiving news that her husband passed away in a train accident, she felt as if the burden of doing things for her husband was lifted, and that she could do the things she wants to do.

One example of this is Mina’s strong opposition towards going to school “See how school shutters you,” She said. “I’m drawing, painting, reading, looking. I’m feeling the sun and the air on my skin. I’m listening to the blackbird’s song. I’m opening my mind.

When viewers watch the show in a treatment session, the first character that comes to their minds is Dr Paul Weston and everything he does in order to help his patients. Even though he is not one of the characters in this study, he plays an important role in his patient’s decisions. One of Dr Paul’s most important phrases is: “In my profession the customer is always wrong”(Alex). He says this phrase in a funny and trivial way as soon as his patient Alex started showing his perfectionism. Therefore, the different ways he plays and interacts with his patients are factors that help viewers to better understand the patients’ identities. In this series, Dr Paul analyzes two different patients. First seen is an adult man who has been affected by the war in Iraq and a young girl, probably between fifteen and sixteen years old, who is searching for some counseling.

The intake assessment is where the case manager get to know the client and what problems does it have you can also it can also help as a guide to start the treatment plan which is very important this help the client look at the possibilities that their goals are being taken care of. As a case manager you will have to give that little extra push or extra confident that they have lost in the past time. As a case worker you have to maintain that resiliently mood with the client and that is where the treatment plan comes in. In this dissertation will be discussing the treatment plan for the follow up client which is Belinda. Also what strategies can a

She allows herself to believe all she is told. She also allows herself to believe that being treated as she is is going to make her better, when in fact it is only making her worse. Her being sent up in a room, like a penitentiary will add loneliness to her illness. Her being told not to write or not to go and see family and friends, again, adds to her loneliness. She is separated from society. Therefore, she feels as though she is alone in society. She gives into the fact that the male-dominated society would rather her alone, than be with lots of women and cause chaos. She gives into everything the world wants instead of listening to her inner self. She ignores herself, causing her to act out in madness. When one does not listen to one's inner self, he or she is then turning away from his or her conscience. It's like the "devil and angel" episode that has been seen in numerous cartoons. If the person listens to the little devil, it will end up being the wrong decision. It the person listens to the little angel, it will be the right decision. The narrator listens to almost neither. She allows what is happening to happen and does nothing but sit back. This would cause anger inside anyone.

The treatment plan serves as a never-ending stream of therapeutic plans and interventions designed to help the client complete the treatment program successfully.  In order to develop an effective, measurable treatment plan three questions must be answered:

The practice that assist a therapist in determining a client diagnosis and the proper treatment plan that would resolve the issue surrounding the clinet’s diagnosis is Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning. The clinet’s treatment plan must be appropriate and relational and this will alow any type of medication and adaptions to be adjusted if needed so that modifications and adaptations can be adjusted as needed (Altman, Briggs, Frankel, Gensler, and Pantone, 2002). The ultimate goal of case conceptualization and treatment planning is to discover complete findings in relation to the client. One approach is Existential Therapy. The human

(2) She generally concealed her emotion, even when she talked about her experience of abuse and rape. While, she sometimes behaved dramatically and occasionally produced short-lived angry outbursts.

‘Clients often are able to provide a theory or an idea of cause, blaming past experiences for behaviors of which they are ashamed. The therapist listens to their explanations however are concerned more with their willingness to accept responsibility for their future behavior and the achievement for their attainable goals’ (Milner & O Byrne, P162). Furthermore, by ‘Acknowledging the clients paradoxical strategies have the effect of empowering clients of their perfectly valid cautious, more fearful concerns about change and leaving them to operate out of their arguments as to why change should be attempted’ (Cade, B. p156).

Imagine that your best friend in the entire world had been seeming dejected or sad. He/she doesn’t seem to want to come out of the house, hang out, or anything that they used to like, they don’t like anymore. These are two of many signs that they are dealing with depression. Should depression continue to be treated with medication and therapy, or should depression not be treated with medication and therapy? Depression should be treated with medication and therapy for the following reasons, medication can balance out their serotonin levels and help them feel more relaxed, talk therapy can help them to open up and possibly find the good from every situation, as well as medication and therapy can help “cure” the depressive symptoms.

For example, the lack of communication between the man and the girl. The girl doesn’t tell the man how she feels about the ‘operation’ he keeps discussing. In the story the girl doesn’t want to have the operation as she feels that their relationship won’t be the same. ‘‘And you think then we’ll be all right and be happy.’ ‘I know we will. You don’t have to be afraid. I’ve known lots of people that have done it…” The man tries to reassure her that they’ll be okay, and many people have been in their situation. Another example for the lack of communication is the man must translate for the girl due to her not able to speak or understand Spanish. “The train comes in five

In episode 28, Sophie happily munches on a slice of pizza. Her enjoyment of the pizza comes to an end when Paul remarks that he is happy to see her eating with gusto. This quickly ends her enjoyment of the pizza and she becomes very closed off to him. Sophie goes on to tell a story of how the word reminds her of a girlfriend of her father’s, an Italian model who also admired the gusto with which Sophie ate. Sophie’s self-consciousness and obsession with her weight and her overall physical appearance are revealed in this moment and it becomes clear that Sophie’s difficulty lies in the way that she has constructed her sense of herself in relation to the cultural belief about beauty and perfection that she has received from her father and his model girlfriends. Later in the same episode, Paul pulls down one of Sophie’s father’s books of photographs. His approach is to use narrative therapy to help Sophie narrate her

The book gets us to think a lot about how much control we really have. Sophie doesn’t seem to go as deep into the philosophy as it seems the Philosopher wants her to. She answers the question, but she doesn’t think about the depth to the question. She just skims to find the answer. Everything she has thought so far was just her thinking about exactly what that Philosopher wanted her to. She never really puts her own thoughts into the depth. The story is showing Sophie on her way to finding the answers to the world’s most unanswered questions. Whether or not she will find them, who knows? There will be sad things passing through your life, but that doesn’t mean that you will become a sad person. Your life does not become sad because of sad moments. If you think about how the past has dealt with bad situations, you can find better ways to get through them. If you don’t ever think about the past, you are determined to repeat it. You will only focus on what is right in front of you, instead of looking past your comfort zone into the world. Passage: I don’t want you to end up in such a sad state. I will do what I can to acquaint you with your historical roots. It is the only way to become a human being. It is the only way to become more than a naked ape. It is the only way to avoid floating in a vacuum.
