My Therapeutic Style Analysis

“All Quiet on The Western Front” is a fictional German war novel written by Erich Maria Remarque. It is an anti-war novel written as a monument for the unknown fallen soldiers. ” This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war.” (Ch 1 9) Remarque published the profound piece in 1929, told based off his own experiences during World War I in the German army (Napierkowski).

A sixteen year old teenager refuses to leave home and the therapist must review the situation from a MRI therapeutic approach. First, the MRI approach would not focus on the problem or how it developed but rather what efforts have the parent made to reach a resolution. MRI stems from the premise that families use practical attempts at resolving their situation but the attempts are ill-advised. MRI’s main focus is aimed at dilemma driven solutions; there is no advantage in long term change or what capacity the problem serves within the family.

A therapeutic relationship is a key component in the nursing profession. Without therapeutic relationships, the best possible care can never be provided. The foundation in which trust is built upon is created from the nurse’s ability to truly listen and respond appropriately. Listening creates the base in developing a strong, trusting relationship. Sometimes it is simply hearing what a patient says that makes all the difference, empowering them to open up and become more comfortable with the nurse (Hawkins-Walsh, 2000).

Having a client come to me and states, their life is going great they have no complaints, except that she has debilitating anxiety, when she comes across frogs. I would suggest to my client that she has a fear of frogs and that gradual exposer to frogs and relaxation techniques is my recommendation. My client does not need open-ended therapy. There is no diagnosis or a disease, she is simply just afraid of frogs. I know that this is very unlikely to happen and there is something more to that story. With exposer therapy, her issue from where it started will be

Behavioral therapy helps eliminate undesirable actions and helps a person cope with certain situations. When curing phobias, exposure therapy (a type of behavioral therapy) exposes the patient to his/her fear in a gradual process. This helps the patient overcome their anxiety without experiencing danger. In Geraldo’s case,

An important feature of behavioural therapy is its focus on current problems and behaviour, and on attempts to remove behaviour the patient finds troublesome. This contrasts greatly with psychodynamic therapy, where the focus is much more on trying to uncover unresolved conflicts from childhood (i.e. the cause of abnormal behaviour). Examples of behaviour therapy are aversion therapy and flooding. Aversion therapy is used when there are stimulus situations and associated behaviour patterns that are attractive to the client, but which the therapist and the client both regard as undesirable. This therapy involves associating such stimuli and behaviour with a very unpleasant unconditioned stimulus, such as an electric shock.

What applied clinical problem would you most like to focus on in your PsyD studies and in the PsyD Clinical Psychology dissertation/doctoral project? Tell us something about your knowledge of the relevant theory and concepts, research, and the application of that scholarship to clinical practice.

The behavior therapy explains fears and how to get people over these fears mainly. Two of the ways therapists go about this is by graduated exposure and flooding. Graduated exposure is when something is slowly introduced to someone causing them to be more comfortable about it. For example, if a person was afraid of snakes the first part of graduated exposure would be looking at pictures of snakes and eventually leading up to the person maybe leading up to holding a snake. Flooding is the exact opposite of this and does just what the name entails, it floods the person with exactly what they are afraid of.

Has your world ever been flipped upside down overnight? Well, mine has when my Uncle had a bad stroke that causes him to lose the left side of his brain. This event changed my life forever it was like I was blind to being able to see for the very first time. Those horrible days truly made me rethink my life, and it taught me how precious life is and how quickly life can be taken away. The biggest thing that came out of this was the improvement in my work ethic, giving it my all 100% of the time, and not procrastinating on anything in my life. Having my world flipped upside was probably the greatest thing that could have happened and here's why.

There are many difference between the therapeutic techniques for children or adolescents and the techniques used for adults; yet, there are also many similarities. These techniques have to be understood in order to better assist those individuals in need.

A close comparison and contrast of two therapeutic approaches that shaped and molded a client, named Gloria, a divorced mother of three children, raised questions about how real she should or should not be as a person in relationship with her children. First, we’ll look at Fritz Perls doing his demanding total authenticity, Gestalt Therapy. (This was developed with his wife, Laura, making it the only female authorship generations.) Then, is Albert Ellis with his ideas on thinking about things that make you unhappy, Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. Last of all, we will thoroughly examine which of the two therapeutic technique actually worked best for Gloria.

with the other (or within a group) is trust and a slow but sure build up of a strong, steady terapeutic

Anytime we can have a win, win situation in learning new and better ways of helping one another is awesome. I think dialogue is a perfect way to retain trust in conversation and build self-esteem (Benner, 1998, p. 133). It keeps arguments down and it allows questions, which is a great way to learn. Anytime we can broaden our understanding of a topic is a plus. I also believe that in building a relationship is much better. In therapeutic conversation it’s all about relationship’s. In relationships we develop empathy which creates a loving bond as if we were in that problem area ourselves. Like a true Christian should do. It can be a learning experience also for the counselor in which can be related into their life as a learning experience. This

When i decided to pursue a career in counseling a concern of mine was how was I going to remember so many theories and be effective in helping my clients as a counselor. It was this course that i was introduced to the development of my therapeutic orientation, and am relieved to know that the process is one that will most likely never stop changing. As I continue to develop my theories orientation, my own values, beliefs, perceptions, and ideas will continue to factor into my choices. I have noticed a common theme in the tenets of the theories that I am drawn to, such as empowerment, self-actualization, self awareness, the past, spirituality, gender role socialization and others. What i have noticed is that i am drawn to theories such as Cognitive Behavior therapy, Person-Centered Approach, the Feminist Theory, Rational Emotive Therapy, as well as Transpersonal Therapy.

Treating patients with dignity and respect and by encouraging participation really does contribute to safe and a higher quality of care. Acknowledging these factors and collaborating with the patients individualize their treatment, which prompts a better recovery. A therapeutic relationship with the patient ensures that the patient is treated with dignity and respect, also within the relationship by forming a bond with the patient encouraging participation and sharing information with the patient becomes a lot easier. These factors are also covered within patient centered care and in holistic care, they all work simultaneously with dignity and respect for the patient like a therapeutic relationship does.
