Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Family Versus Individual Settings

         Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) posits maladaptive behavior and dysfunctional thoughts that relate to self, others, and the

world that are rooted in illogical or irrational assumptions. This individual view of the world, self, and others are central to the

determination of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and by changing these, behavior can also be changed.  (Wheeler, 2014). 

According to Patterson (2014), family therapy is usually focused on behavioral outcomes which when it comes to cognitive-

behavioral therapy (CBT), the term behavior tends to be the primary focus. Wheeler (2014) states that CBT can also be further broken

down into primary and secondary thinking which is a structured hierarchy. Cognitive processes are understood as

primary secondary with primary thinking recognizing negative, intermittent, and irrational thinking as an ongoing human action.

Secondary thinking views the cultural and social world in a more positive, rational, and determinant term.  

         Therapeutic alliance has been identified as one of the most important factors in individual therapy of any kind (Nichols and Davis,

2020) It is, however, more difficult to establish a therapeutic alliance in family or group therapy due to a number of different reasons

such as an increased number of participants with individual thoughts and feelings.  Assessment is a pivotal part of CBT and

the advantages of a behavioral emphasis are that it can provide definitive goals, baseline data, and a reliable way to measure

therapeutic success. Certain disadvantages are that by using a structured environment in family therapy, the active family interactions

can not be viewed. All that is seen is individual patient reports (Nichols and Davis, 2020).    

         A study by Thimm and Antonsen (2014) examined the effectiveness of group CBT for depression in a routine outpatient setting,

looking also at predictors of dropout and response. Results suggested a large reduction in anxiety and depression among

participants who received CBT with these observed results maintained at a three-month follow-up. CBT is a very effective therapy with

individual clients but can prove to be challenging in group and family settings.  The video of the Johnson Family Session (2013c) 

is an example of a group of women who had experienced similar trauma but had very different thoughts and feelings about

the experience.  The therapist may find the establishment of a trusting therapeutic alliance somewhat difficult in this situation.

1. Describe the contemporary issue and explain what external stressors are associated with this issue.
2. Outline assessment strategies to screen for this issue and external stressors during an assessment for an adolescent patient. Describe what additional assessment questions you would need to ask and define the ethical parameters regarding what you can and cannot share with the parent or guardian.
3. Discuss support options for adolescents encountering external stressors. Include specific support options for the contemporary issue you presented.

In the attached file there is a research proposal,

Childhood psychosis is extremely rare; however, children that present with psychosis must be carefully assessed and evaluated with appropriate interviewing of parent, child, and use of assessment tools.

For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with early onset schizophrenia.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Evaluate clients for treatment of mental health disorders
• Analyze decisions made throughout diagnosis and treatment of clients with mental health disorders

The Assignment:

Examine Case 3: You will be asked to make three decisions concerning the diagnosis and treatment for this client. Be sure to consider co-morbid physical as well as mental factors that might impact the client’s diagnosis and treatment.

At each Decision Point, stop to complete the following:

• Decision #1: Differential Diagnosis
  • Which Decision did you select?
  • Why did you select this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #1 and the results of the Decision. Why were they different?
• Decision #2: Treatment Plan for Psychotherapy
  • Why did you select this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #2 and the results of the Decision. Why were they different?
• Decision #3: Treatment Plan for Psychopharmacology
  • Why did you select this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #3 and the results of the decision. Why were they different?
• Also include how ethical considerations might impact your treatment plan and communication with clients and their families.

Note: Support your rationale with a minimum of three academic resources. While you may use the course text to support your rationale, it will not count toward the resource requirement.

Module 02 Discussion – Multidimensional Care of the Cancer Patient

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in both men and women. Caring for the cancer patient and family requires a multidimensional approach.

What does it mean to provide a multidimensional approach? What are some examples of how the care team can meet the patient and the family’s needs? Who are the members of the care team and how are they involved in providing multidimensional care?

 Respond to these two posts separately after reading by giving references as well either supporting or respectfully challenging their explanation on whether there is an evidence base to support the proposed health policy they described. 

Both Post are attached-  HALF A PAGE FOR EACH POST IS GOOD
