She started examining the physiological outcome of a healer named Oscar Estebany. The health of patient treated by this healer with therapeutic touch irrespective of their physiologic conditions improved. In 1971, a pilot study was carried out on two groups. The study group had TT and the control group had none. Both groups’ hemoglobin was tested before and after the study, the result showed
refine, and analyze the Evidence-based programs and practice in psychology (EBPP). Based on the resources found in the warm-up activities, the best evidence-based programs and practice is defined as the integration of the most effective and available research with clinical expertise in the structure of patient characteristics such as; culture, and value. This definition of evidence-based programs and practice (EBPP) is very similar to the definition of the evidence-based practice implemented by the Institute
Foremost, specialty court intervention provides a chance for social workers to promote a new type of social justice. Therapeutic justice principles not only focus on treatment services for criminal offenders, but it also includes promoting autonomy, emphasizing non-paternalism, a volitional choice to change unwanted behavior, and recognizing procedural and distributive justice (Redlich & Han, 2014).

This paper will examine the research behind the perceived risks and benefits of transference interpretations in the treatment of BPD. Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) will be highlighted as an example of the clinical utility of transference within an empirically supported BPD psychodynamic treatment. The paper will also include a literature review of the relevant studies, which point to the efficacy and

collect qualitative data. After the intervention, the volunteers underwent personal interviews about how they believed the visit went. The study found that the volunteers increased their overall knowledge of dementia and derived personal life satisfaction from the visits. I found this article to be interesting because it focused on the satisfaction of volunteers who were working with cognitively impaired individuals. It provided a new perspective for my paper because previously I had been researching
What is Client-Directed Outcome-Informed (CDOI)? The following two prominent research literatures became the foundation for Client directed outcome informed (CDOI): 1.

Change of the client’s personal experience is imperative in the early stages of therapy it is also reliable in predicting if the therapist is right for the client and the right treatment plan is utilized, (Duncan, Miller
practice is guided by ever-evolving research that helps determine best practice policies and protocols, allowing clinicians to provide the best care possible to their clients. However, much of psychiatric nursing care is characterized by subjective or immeasurable interventions and thus, important areas such as the benefits of therapeutic time with clients are relatively understudied and may also be undervalued. As psychiatric nurses I believe that our therapeutic communication skills are one of our

be flexible to meet the needs of the child within a personal, family, social, and school-based setting. It also appears that working both within and in-between these domains of functioning are vital for positive therapeutic growth. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is also supported in research conducted by Copping et al. (2001) where this mode of therapy has been found to reduce conduct disorder related symptomology and overall social relations with peers. Within this framework, it is recommended that
