Brad’s family struggled to obtain common and necessary provisions including proper clothing, transportation, and nutritional and substantial food due to his father’s low income and eventual unemployment. Moreover, the chaos and disorder in the household of six young boys contributed to a challenging living environment for an orderly and clean young fourteen-year-old boy. Even though his living situations were not ideal, Brad states that his family was faithful; they attended mass every Sunday and prayed the Rosary daily. Spirituality was Brad’s first form of “treatment” during the beginning phases of his anxiety.
The current treatment plan is guided by the Person-Environment-Occupation Model (PEOM), Rehabilitative, and Biomechanical frame of references.

Thus, the aim of this paper is to assess the determinants of health that affect a specific client by taking into account Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns. Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns provides an effective framework for evaluating the many factors that can affect an individual in his or her day-to-day life. This method was developed by Majory Gordon in 1987, and used as a guideline for establishing a comprehensive nursing assessment. By using these specific categories, health care professionals are able to create a standardized method to collect data in order to determine aspects of health and
Please explain how psychosocial factors have influenced your clients' ability to engage in occupations during treatment.
In the beginning, when Paul has to present himself in front of a board of teachers for unsuspension, he wears a peculiar assortment of clothes: a “frayed and worn” (1) overcoat with a carnation in its buttonhole, paired with an opal pin on his tie. However, the author claims, “there was something of the dandy about him” (6). Paul dresses luxuriously in order to reflect the style of the upper class, or at least seem more unique than the people around him. The small details in his outfit (the carnation, opal pin, and velvet collar) imitate and seem reminiscent of his desire, but Paul cannot fully achieve the look he wants because he does not truly belong to the upper class. His attire portrays a weak imitation of the exclusive upper class that he wishes to be a part of. However, Paul hides his feelings of inferiority to the upper class with his lack of empathy, another symptom of narcissistic personality disorder, to the lower class. Paul himself, after questioned whether he should have made an inappropriate remark to a teacher, states that “I [don’t] mean to be polite, or impolite, either. I guess it’s sort of a way I have of saying things, regardless” (1). Paul’s lack of empathy becomes apparent in this scene because he does not consider the feelings of those around him. He refuses to accept the possible ramifications of his actions, indicating that he views himself above those whom he interacts with. Paul acts indifferently and treats the visit like a meaningless formality, which causes the teachers to lash out at him. Paul's apathetic demeanor towards people in the lower class highlights his narcissistic values.
Health and social care professions have in common the concept of a 'duty of care' toward their users. This means that the wellbeing of the service user should be central to their work. All treatment given must have a therapeutic benefit to the user or must be essential for saving life.
Paul’s parents and Erik create many problems for Paul, and it makes it difficult for him to uncover his true self. Paul’s parents don’t pay attention to what Erik truly is, but are also absorbed in his high school football career. Dad said,” You’re saying that I know everything about Erik’s season and nothing about yours. Your right, and I’m sorry.” (Bloor pg.234) But Erik also creates problems

Within society, there are many occupations to explore and chose. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) results showed that my personal career strengths fall under the area of teaching and counseling. Currently, as a school counselor for a high school in Duncanville, Texas, a suburb outside of Dallas, I find the results of the assessment to be very accurate. Making the decision to become a counselor is a rewarding and exciting career choice. In the world of counsling, there are many individuals who place emphasis on not just basic implications, but also on theoretical studies that usually are a part of
The PEO model focuses on different characteristics of the person, the environment, and occupations and the relationship between them. According to this model a good fit between the 3 areas provides the best occupational performance (Cole, 2012). “The quality of a person’s experience, with regards to their level of satisfaction and functioning, is the outcome of the fit between the person-environment-occupation transaction” (Strong et al., 1999). Throughout the different changes that people experience across their lifetime the balance between the 3 areas is affected (Strong et al., 1999). By using this model and defining the areas affected, the therapist would be able to guide the patient’s treatment. In this session, we would be looking specifically
The concept I found most valuable is the Trust, Information, Power, and Options (TIPO) Model. I specifically like how information and power can influence the level of trust in relationships and influence others to be more open to alternatives. I have always had a high amount of trust in people and equally I have a high amount of faith in the system that discovers the truth. Some would say I put too much trust in people and not enough in the other aspects of the TIPO model. Every day is a negotiation at BMT and I’m almost always the winner. As an MTI I have learned the value of gathering as much information as I can about any situation to better position myself in a negotiable situation. When an individual doesn’t believe the aspects of
