Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common type of mental health counseling that with the help of the therapist allows the client to become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking and enables the client to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. This therapeutic approach is not distinct, but is a culmination of various cognitive and behavioral therapeutic techniques. The team will examine the aspects of CBT covering the description, history and research of this technique. The team will also provide information that will explain the appropriate uses of this practice, why it is necessary, and the patients that benefit from this behavioral changing technique. There are issues and concerns involved with CBT that will also be addressed.…
This school Psychologist, Dr. Amato, described his role in the school and community and I loved the sort of relationship he discussed having with the students, parents, and town members. Though his schedule is busy, his work has the ability to promote positive change within the school and provides him with enough challenges to grow as an individual. As a graduate student, I hope to gain the skills that would allow me to effectively detect various learning and mental health difficulties in students so that they can receive the necessary attention they deserve. With cultural diversity being an area of interest for me, I would love to further research the impact which this diversity creates between students, their families and the school system. Furthermore, I’m interested in how methods currently used in therapies, such as mindfulness training, can be applied within the school environment in unique…

This allows American counsellors to be equipped to identify mental health issues and get the student to the correct services. Although, American school-counsellors cannot diagnose, with the training in counselling they may be more tailored to identifying a problem which could lend to an earlier intervention for students suffering from Mental Health issues. The ASCA document specifically addresses the need to maintain a membership in school counselor professional organizations to stay up to date on current research and to maintain professional competence in current school counseling issues and topics. American school-counselors become well-appointed to deal with issues surrounding student’s mental health and competency, which would also help when dealing with accommodations within the classroom. School-counsellors have the tools to bridge the gap between a school environment and outside services to help maintain life-long…
I have had few classes in the past that gave me an overview of how to research and find creditable sources. In this class I learned not only how to research but also how to use my research in my academic paper. It was interesting to find more sources to use within the University of Phoenix Library. This course showed me a closer look at how I can use different sources to find creditable articles. This course gave me different way to keep track of what I want to use in my paper. One of which is the annotated bibliography. Annotated Bibliography help me understand exactly how I wanted to do my essay and which part of my resource I wanted to use in my essay.…

Today’s psychology is assembled with a huge variety of techniques, therapies, and approaches based on different models and theories of development and human behavior. When it comes to counseling, it is great to have the proper knowledge of various tools, so that a counselor’s professional behavior allows him or her to be flexible and to apply different techniques based on the individual’s problems and situational needs of every client who is seen. With there being a variety of different techniques, there are two counseling theories that are different, and their effectiveness comes from opposite sides of counseling, but they are very similar in the same way. These approaches are known as the Client-Centered Approach and the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is important that good therapists are properly equipped with both concepts and are readily aware on how both of these concepts are used so they can help the client in the best possible way needed.…

The late 1960s through the 1990s represented a second generation of behavior therapy and it is called Cognitive Behavior Therapy. It is born from the view that the history of behavior therapy, in which cognitive factors assumed greater importance in both therapy and practice. The central idea is that psychological disorders involve dysfunctional thinking and modifying dysfunctional thinking is linked to improvement in symptoms. Since the 1990s, acceptance-based models of CBT such as acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy came into prominence. These approaches are represented as a third generation of CBT. Because, they argued that they distinguish them from earlier behavior therapies with a number of features. As well, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has some critiques about CBT which I do not totally agree.…

Many people engage in community service project because they are either forced as a punishment or sentence. Others engage in community service out of Spirit of unselfishness, or a desire to connect with their communities by helping out. For me, it brings a sense of completeness. During the past few semester my team members and I have engage in different projects, Collecting food, clothes and donating to the homeless. In a way I’ve experience working the different organizations and helping the community. But with this particular project, it meant much more then collecting for the disadvantaged, It was about lending a hand and your heart to a community in need.. During my involvement in this fieldwork project I got the opportunity to offer my unconditional assistance for one day in a non-profit making community based project. The name of the project was Liberty City Construction, which is being undertaken by a Christian ministry organization whose aim is to improve the livelihood of low-income families through building affordable and decent houses at a 0% interest rate.
