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.…
Throughout this course I learned about many models and theories related to behavioral therapy. My endeavor during the last five weeks through the world of behavioral theories has ignited and opened my eyes to a career that I never thought that I was ready for or even in to.

Schools are in great need of systems, processes, and personnel who are able to support the needs of students with problem behavior. Research indicates, however, that (while I am a big, fat cheater) information has not been made available to teachers and other professionals in a format that allows these strategies to become common practice. Many teachers choose isolated behavioral strategies that are not applied immediately after the problem behavior has occurred.…
In our society there are several forms of behavioral and social development concerns. To help people cope with these psychological concerns there are a wide range of therapies, techniques and approaches, such as psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a systematic interaction between a therapist and someone who is suffering from mental or emotional issues, with the goal of providing support or relief to overcome their psychological disorder (Rathus, 2012). There are several therapeutic methods that can be used by therapists, but ultimately the situation and the client will dictate which one is appropriate. Psychoanalytic therapy, Humanistic therapy, Behavior therapy, Cognitive therapy, Group therapy, and Biological therapy are all effective therapeutic methods of helping clients cope with their psychological disorder.…
The methods of practice differ in each situation, but they are similar in preparation. Practitioners must first make an evaluation or assessment of their client. This process take’s patience and practitioners must be able to listen actively to their client with no distractions and without any preconceived notions of what the speaker is saying (Martin, 2007, p. 47). After a practitioner makes a clinical assessment, they can decide on what intervention strategy to use with a client. The Task-Centered Approach is an example of one intervention strategy that a counselor may use. This strategy helps clients who think they are powerless over simple challenges caused by psychosocial problems and allows counselors help define these challenges and set small, agreed upon goals with clients to help them increase self-esteem (Martin, 2007, p. 55). Reframing is another intervention strategy. This strategy helps clients look at the different perspectives of a situation instead of only the negative. Sometimes people hesitate to act on a situation because of the viewpoint that it will always result in a negative outcome. An opposite approach to this strategy would be emotional regulation. Some people do not…

Moreover, the FMHN must delegate some of the duties to other colleagues. This will promote effective therapeutic relationships. Beside this, restrictive practice such as restraining and seclusion can be helpful in forensic setting but it can negatively affect relationship formation as patients might see it taking away their independence. The nurse must be knowledgeable in the area of legislations and the processes of the various agencies within the justice system in order to provide nursing assessment that is compatible and consistent with the forensic service patient status (Martin et al 2012). The patient’s inability to understand their forensic status can destroy therapeutic relationship whereas the nurse’s ability to provide education to…
