Therapy Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

Oxygen therapy refers to administration of oxygen to a patient as a medical intervention. The purposes can vary in care for both chronic and acute patients. It is normally used when a patient is hypoxic and is unable to supply his or her cells with enough oxygen through normal respiratory processes. The delivery system chosen depends on the age of the patient, humidification needs, oxygen requirements or the therapeutic goals, and, the patient’s tolerance to the selected interface.

The acquisition of Durata Therapeutics, Inc – a novel pharmaceutical company targeting on growth and commercialization of new therapeutics for infectious and acute diseases – by Actavis Plc – a leading international pharmaceutical company –seems to have raised eyebrows from every corner. This is because Actavis has lately been on the forefront of major and successful mergers and acquisitions. Its continuous plan seems to be founded on the strategic plan it has laid that seeks to enhance the long-term growth beginning 2015 and beyond. Indeed, Actavis has always been viewed as a company with enormous potential and speed geared towards the achievement of effective subsidiaries. ...

Introduction
Grief, distress and sadness are emotions that a person displays in case of loss. Loss can be a loss of things, loss of reputation or even loss of people. Emotional anatomy is a science which has been based on emotions and psychology of people (Schwartz, 1999). It helps in providing psychological therapies for the purpose of helping extreme depression and anxiety caused due to problems and issues. An important problem or issue that is causing a lot of distress to me is the death of my grandparents and a divorce between my parents. This is causing me a lot of stress and sadness ...

The portion of the statement with the greatest significant meaning is that “physical therapy will be provided by physical therapists who are doctors of physical therapy”. This is because the function of physical therapists in health care has continued to expand over the years. Physical therapists are essentially health care professionals tasked with diagnosing and offering care for people with health issues or ailments that limit abilities such as movement in their daily activities. Initially, vocational education was just enough for one to enter the field of physical therapy. However, as the field advanced, the training required also had ...

Cellulitis is a complexion that occurs mostly in individuals with diabetes and open wounds. The clinical manifestations of Cellulitis in Ms. G include an open wound, which mostly fosters Cellulitis development in patients. Furthermore, Ms. G’s left leg is red from knee to ankle, which indicates that she is suffering from Cellulitis (Petrou, 2011). The calf measurement on the left is higher than right measurement, which shows that the lymph nodes are swollen thus affirming high chances of a Cellulitis condition.

Many people who are addicted to hard drugs are under treatment and rehabilitation due to the many risks that exist as a result of the risky behavior. Most of these addicts risk contracting infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis (B or C) and even sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, there is a need to create rehabilitation programs to aid in the recovery and freedom from various forms of drug addiction. One of such therapy programs is the methadone maintenance therapy program. Research shows that this is one of the most effective programs in helping addicts fight with various forms of addiction (Weschsberg, ...

Helping of a Family

In this scenario, there are a number of perspectives that emerge. First, the parents of the child are divorced. Second, the father is the custodial parent while the mother is a non-custodial parent. Third, the mother has a drinking problem, and it is yet to stop. Finally, the patient is a child, and thus his or her decisions are dependent on parents (Spencer, 2000). In approaching this scenario, APA standards 3 and 10 would be extremely significant. Standard 3 is about human relations and subsection 3.10 is about informed consent. According to APA (2010), there is a need to obtain informed consent of the ...

Family therapy can be a good place to start getting the psychological care one needs. Often, the problems caused by a psychological or substance abuse disorder have ripple effects that cause problems for the family unit as a whole, meaning that dealing with them together as a family unit can be of great help not just to the individual with the greatest need for psychological assistance. It can also help other family members feel that their needs and struggles through difficult situations are also being recognized.
But there are times when family therapy alone may not be enough. If an individual is ...

(1). William Glasser, an American psychiatrist and psychologist developed Reality Therapy in the mid-60s. As he continued making use of the therapy he had developed, its theory, techniques, and broader applications kept on evolving. Reality Therapy is a therapeutic approach in which people learn to comprehend the needs that our species have developed as a result of evolution and that drive every human being. Using this form of therapy allows therapists to help people make more effective choices so that these needs are met, to take control of their own lives, and become strong to handle problems and stresses of life.

Is a High-Coconut Oil diet healthy or Unhealthy?

Coconut contains a high percentage of saturated fat. It is composed of 92% saturated fat, 6% mono-saturated fat, and only 2% polyunsaturated fat. The FDA recommends that less than 10% of an individual’s daily caloric intake must be from saturated fats, an issue that made coconut oil a controversial “health food.” Although Coconut oil contains a high percentage of saturated fat, its molecular structure is different. Coconut oil is composed of 62% Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA), as opposed to other edible substances rich in saturated fats which are composed of a ...

Family Therapy

In most cases, family therapy focuses on issues surrounding the family unit because it remains as a unique social system that has its own structure and patterns of communication. According to family therapists, families are made up of systems that naturally develop rules and interactions that differ from diverse families even though, it eventually affects the psychological health. More significantly, varied rules and interactions each family establishes, develops its own unique personality that remain powerful and affects all of its members. Considerably, the family therapists use either strategic or communication approaches to solve social problems that arise in family units. ...

Hemingway’s Big Two-Hearted River: Parts I and II

If it were not mentioned in the question for part one, I would have missed the idea that Nick is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). From this brief section of Hemingway’s writing, it is hard to know the experiences Nick has been through that caused PTSD. However, his comfort with absolute isolation from humanity is one indicator that he has suffered, and his independence in his camping as a self-healing experience lend to the idea that he has faced an ordeal he is escaping from.
The descriptions of the stream and the trout, as Nick observes ...

Communication is one of the basic units of family therapy. A therapist should consider various communication issues before come to a conclusion. The therapist should closely watch and evaluate the client’s family communication system to avoid potential transference problems.

Communication can be technically defined as the way of transferring different forms of information from one source to another. However, in day-to-day life communication plays an important role in keeping relationships. The mode of communication differs from one place to another. For family therapist, they use special communication theory to address various incidents and issues in a family. Many therapists frequently ...

Why Dietary Therapy Works Best for the Treatment of Childhood Obesity

Obesity, one of the diseases affecting many people the world over, is a disease that results from the accumulation of fat in the body. Obesity is measured through determination of the Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a ratio of the mass of an individual to the height of the individual (Vaidya, 2006). Vaidya (2006) further asserts that a person with a BMI of more than 25 is normally considered obese. Though with differing pros and cons, there exist many proven therapeutic models for the amelioration of obesity. Dietary Therapy, conventionally known as Dietetic Therapy, presents one of such proven therapeutic techniques.

Designing a Group Therapy Exercise

The purpose of group therapy is to help individuals find a way of learning and developing their social skills. In this exercise, the dramatic processes are designed to help produce real-world situations without the pressures or actual, real-world circumstances.

Type of Group

The type of group which would benefit from my exercise is those dealing with social difficulties. The exercise itself involves dramatic therapy which allows for the individuals to be placed into no-pressure, social situations and learn how to manage these situations before applying them to a real life circumstance (Emunah & Johnson, 2009, p40). Dramatic exercises are excellent for improving social and communicative ...

When performing analysis on patients, it is important to completely understand the two primary methods of therapy for undesirable behaviors – behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy. These two different disciplines utilize unique principles and intervention techniques to help their patients, one using strict behavioral conditioning and the other using talk therapy and other techniques to change a patient’s thinking about a problem. In this paper, the two varying methods will be compared and contrasted, and their application towards my own therapy techniques will be described.

In behavior therapy, a patient comes to a therapist for help with an undesirable behavior they ...

Person-Centered, Existential, and Gestalt Therapies

Carl Rogers discovered person- centered therapy in 1930. He held the belief that a patient should be seen as a client. His theory asserted that the client and the therapist were on the same level unlike before where a therapist was given an upper hand. This theory also held a different view from Freud’s theory in that, it asserts individuals behaviors are motivated by the urge to attain high potential and the good in them. Rollo May and Victor Frankl introduced existential therapy. This theory attempts to explain why human beings exist. It mainly focuses on issues such as death and love ...

Suicide in the Military

Over the last decade, an increase in the number suicides has been noted in the military (Castro & Kintzle, 2014; Rudd et al., 2015). Research studies have related mental health issues such as anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, and substance abuse or dependence among active and inactive servicemen. Notably, the rate of hospitalization due to mental health problems and suicide ideation has risen rapidly in the military circles over the last ten years (Castro & Kintzle, 2014). Many social workers have used the military transition theory to illustrate the possible causes of increased psychological health issues among war veterans that ...

Reflection on Clinical Practice

Introduction

In advanced nursing, acute care of pregnant women is an important part. The challenge that is common in this field of nursing is that the nurse must consider the wellbeing of the developing fetus in addition to that of the mother before taking any interventions. One of the first cases I handled was that of Mr. & Mrs. Peterson. I met Mrs. Jessica Peterson, 31 while she was 4 months pregnant after she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. From her medical records, this was her second pregnancy with the first one having ended in a miscarriage ...

Criminal Law

Introduction
This paper looks at the claim by Cullen and Gilbert (1982) that “Rehabilitation should be the major goal of any correctional system” (p. 5) and seeks to determine if rehabilitation is the most efficient method to attenuate crime. From the onset of the 20th century, efforts to combat crime have seen a rise in the implementation of rehabilitation as a preferred philosophy or methodology enacted by the justice system in order to reduce this societal challenge. The treatment of criminals was perceived as both efficient in terms of crime prevention and also the treatment of offenders was considered a more ...

Phobia is an irrational uncontrollable fear, persistent manifestations of various fears. Traditionally, fear is an ancient companion of humankind. Most scientists believe that the feeling of fear is common to all higher animals, and, to a larger extent, to human beings with their finely developed psyche (Popescu 2013), 406. But if an animal can only be afraid of specific dangers, then a human being thanks to his imagination and the ability to analyze the environment has learnt to experience fear ahead of time (Popescu 2013), 406.
What are people afraid of? Of course, each person has various reasons to ...

Description of adolescent sex offenders and their origin:

Adolescent sex offenders are children or teens who commit a forcible or non-forcible sex offense. The law enforcement group classifies sex offenses as forcible rape, such as fondling, sexual assault, sodomy, and rape. In the non-forcible rape, the victim cannot give her consent, and it includes statutory rape, and incest. The early theories indicate that an event/incident causes an impact to the emotional stability of the youth. This scenario leads to anger, which eventually results to fantasies and thoughts of retaliation. Then, the youth thinks of overpowering another person thus, resulting to an assault. Discussions with the offenders reveal ...

Primitive people believed in various sorts of deities to help them in their daily tasks; the ancient Hittites, Egyptians, Greeks, and the Babylonians worshipped many gods and goddesses to help them win wars, good harvest, as well as to ensure the safety of the whole empire. Because these societies lack the modern knowledge regarding scientific beliefs, religion played a very important role in shaping the society. Even today, interesting artifacts gathered from recent excavations were discovered by archaeologists of the modern times. These reliefs from the past told scholars about the power and influence of the priests (in Hittite, kings ...

Chapter 3

Post 1 – Professor Franck’s brings up an interesting question, why states obey international law despite the undeveloped condition of the international system? I would say a very important reason is that criminals, even those who have been nation-state leaders have been brought to trial on the international stage at The Hague. So all the characteristics he mentions that give legitimacy – transparency, symbolic validation, adherence and coherence – are met by the World Court and can be observed on the television news all over the world. There exist inconsistencies in terms of which leaders are taken to trial when others have ...

DNA DAMAGE

1. Introduction
The p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that is activated whenever a cell is subjected to cell damage. The p53 gene determines whether a cell should survive a damage or should undergo apoptosis. These decisions are regulated by posttranslational modifications. Phosphorylation of the serine 46 residue is one such modification that is relevant to this study. However, it is unclear why a Ser46 phosphorylated p53 favors apoptosis over survival (Feng et al. 2006, p. 2812; Taira et al. 2014, p. 717).
Studies have shown that the elusive molecular mechanism of Ser46 phosphorylation of p53 induce apoptosis in the tumor ...

Abstract

Plasmodium falciparum is the parasite responsible for the deadly disease, malaria. The parasite is transmitted through the injection of sporozoites into the human blood stream. These sporozoites are transported in the blood stream to the liver. The sporozoites invade the hepatocytes and differentiate into merozoites. The merozoites invade the RBCs of the host; starting the blood stage of infection. The trophozoite stage ingests and degrades approximately 80% of the hemoglobin in the host cell. The hemoglobin is broken down into peptides due to enzymatic action by a metalloprotease and cysteine and aspartic proteases. Haematin is first released as a byproduct of ...

Describe the Hemoglobin Digestive Process

P. falciparum, is the parasite responsible for the malaria, a disease that causes approximately one million deaths annually. It undergoes the process of erythrocytic schizogony which is responsible for the clinical manifestations of malaria. The trophozoite ingests and degrades approximately 80% of the hemoglobin in the host cell (Brayl 2005). As the trophozoite continues to develop, its endolysosomal system takes up the cytoplasm of the host cell using cytosomes which contains host hemoglobin. Cytosomes are formed by an invagination formed from the PVM (parasitophorous vacuolar membrane) and PPM (parasite plasma membrane) from which transport vesicles are pinched off. These vesicles ...

The Meta-analysis program involves individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, family counseling, mentoring and aftercare of the delinquent juveniles. Meta-analysis is one of the many procedures that have been engineered by researchers to curb delinquent behavior in adolescents. The meta-analysis research that was conducted on over 400 delinquents shows that the strategy is making progress in reducing the number of repeat crimes in the society (Petrosino & Lavenberg, 2007). Groups which went through the treatment have a 10 percent less recidivism compared to that of untreated groups. Most programs which were successful had four distinct characteristics which include the availability of ...

Answer to discussion about anorexia and bulimia:

As the author pointed out, the reasons for both of these conditions are solely psychological and the physiology is just a symptom. So I believe that the therapy should be mainly directed on getting the patient to understand that their condition is not terminal and can be easily treated. The core of the therapy should be based on patient’s own desire to change; their close people should provide strong moral support and convince him that there is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has numerous flaws and no one is perfect. The road to internal peace is to ...

Transgender and the Use of MMPI-2

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) test is a self-report measure of psychopathology and the personality structures in adults. As opposed to other similar tests, it is difficult for those subjected to it to give a false impression or deny` the existence of a problem. It is also possible to conduct empirical research using the MMPI-2 tests, as it gives an opportunity to give quantitative evidence. Therefore, it is more practical when evaluating psychological issues. It is especially the case in addressing the psychological issues of the diverse transgender population (Tellegen, et al., 2003).
Interventions such as hormonal treatment ...

I can say the contract is valid because the five essential elements of a contract is present in our transaction namely: competent parties, mutual agreement or consent, lawful object, consideration and written format (Rogers, 2012). The contract was successfully fulfilled because all the elements of a valid contract are present. A critical insight that has brought my attention is the fact that ...

Aversive technique with regard to behaviour reduction entails use of negative form of punishment to induce a change in the behaviours of an individual. Proponent of this technique of behaviour reduction has suggested that when the technique is applied immediately the unwanted behaviour occurs there is probability that the unwanted behaviour may not occur again.
Aversive technique may take simple forms for instance an ...

Many different psychologists have theorized about the human mind and how unconsciousness plays a part in how we react to these thoughts or behaviors. Personally I feel that the theories put forth by Jung present the most complete picture and reflects how I view unconsciousness affects the thought process.

Most humans experiences these theories in some way nearly every day. Individuals are constantly working to categorize and analyze the ...
