...Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) is an evidence-based program, that takes place at school, in groups, and at an individual level, aimed at reducing children’s symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and depression caused by exposure to violence (CBITS at a glance, n.d.). The CBITS intervention program takes place in a group setting and was designed for children ages 10-15 who have had exposure to violence and other traumatic events. Childhood violence is what UNICEF calls “one of the most damaging unaddressed human rights violations in the world today,” and has the potential to leave lasting negative consequences that can last well into adulthood (What is the impact of CDV, n.d.). In addition to childhood domestic violence, CBITS has been used with students who have witnessed or experienced traumatic life events such as community and school violence, accidents and injuries, physical abuse, and natural and man-made disaster (CBITS at a glance, n.d.). In the article titled “10 Startling Statistics about Children of Domestic Violence,” you can find that each year, 1.5 million children witness...

Although I was unable to do a current Site visit to a human service department of a company to write my report, I do know from my own experience some things pertaining to programs that employ behavioral or genitive intervention and or models. In this paper I will attempt to explore some areas within a cognitive intervention such as: • What population participates in the program? • Who presents the program? • How the effectiveness of the intervention is measured • How do they determine a need for the program? • Do they have plans for other programs that use behavioral models and techniques? • What other models and theories are represented in their programs. As we look into the population of participants, it ranges based on the type of behavior being addressed, intervention and motivation strategies. Last year, when I attended my counseling session, it was held in a group session with different people of all ages. This particular group session addressed issues of anxiety and depression. I quickly learned that many people have issues with anxiety and depression, yet they are hesitant to get counseling to change the behavior. Although...

The paper includes an introduction, in depth analysis of backgrounds and interventions associated with stroke and adolescent behavior, intervention questions, and the conclusion. Cognitive Restructuring Definition The cognitive restructuring theory holds that your own unrealistic beliefs are directly responsible for generating dysfunctional emotions and their resultant behaviors, like stress, depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal, and that we humans can be rid of such emotions and their effects by dismantling the beliefs that give them life. Thought challenging–also known as cognitive restructuring–is a process in which you challenge the negative thinking patterns that contribute to your anxiety, replacing them with more positive, realistic thoughts. The cognitive restructuring model is a proven model in addressing behavioral issues concerning stroke victims and adolescents. Our focus will be addressing the insights into these interventions.

...successfully have both areas of life (Voydanoff, 2005). Kathy Kudler is a business owner and single mother so she has little downtime whether she is at work or home. Other factors of her life, such as her upcoming nuptials and ill mother also affect her ability to find a balance between home life and work. Kathy may be definitely suffering from what is known as burnout. Burnout is a condition in which stress levels at work affect home life (Salmela-Aro, Tynkkynen, & Vuori, 2011). If Kathy Kudler cannot find an effective balance both areas of her life could suffer. The purpose of this paper is to create an outline of how and Industrial/Organizational Psychologist may intervene with the issues Kathy Kudler is currently facing. The paper will also provide three work and family interventions to her. Finally, the paper will show the pros and cons of each of the three work and family intervention suggestions. Having two children at home is a demanding task but Kathy Kudler feels as though she does not give this job her full attention. With a demanding career, Kathy Kudler may deem it necessary to take care of the financial well-being of her children first. Many parents make the mistake of thinking that finances are what a child needs over anything (Rupert, Stevanovic, Hartman, Bryant, & Miller, 2012). As parents, working adults must work to find a balance that works for both sides of life. Without this balance, work and...

...they suffered as a child. Her clients who have Conduct Disorders do not respect authority, have little regard for others, and breaks major rules; they also exhibit aggressive behaviors that threaten physical violence, theft, property damage, or attempting to run away. Often times their continued AWOL behaviors and being a flight risk is what gets them place in a level 14 facility. A client with a Conduct Disorder is often times resentful and short-tempered. The basis of Conduct Disorder is a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. Treatment plans should include behavior therapy with the client, family therapy, if they family is involved and medication support from a psychiatrist. In this paper the author will discuss treatment and intervention strategies to work with people who have this disorder. In addition, the author will describe the theoretical basis for the approaches, present how the counselor would work individually with the client, and discuss outcome research. Current approaches Children who display conduct disorder behaviors should obtain an evaluation. Many adolescent clients with a conduct disorder have parallel conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, and ADHD which can also be addressed. Research illustrates that adolescents with conduct disorder are likely to have continuous problems if...

...Mapping Care Using Standardized Terminology BY Bolajoko Olagbaju American Sentinel University Introduction Knowledge deficit is a prevalent condition among patients, characterized by the lack of both cognitive information and psychomotor skills that are necessary for promotion and maintenance of health, and for a healthy recovery. The nursing profession is faced with the need to address this problem, whether in the hospital, in ambulatory care, or in-home setting. To address knowledge deficit, the learning process involves three domains: the psychomotor domain, the affective domain, and the cognitive domain. The involved nurse engages the patients in making vital decisions on what and how the patient will be taught. Addressing knowledge deficit in nursing care is necessitated by the high number of patients with inaccurate perception concerning their health statuses (Billay, Myrick, Luhanga, & Yonge, 2007). Misinformation and lack of information associated with knowledge deficit can culminate in psychological alteration, which manifests in anxiety and depression. NANDA Nursing Diagnoses, Definition and Classification As mentioned above, knowledge deficit is marked by lack of crucial cognitive information, which is related to specific health topics. This problem is classified as among the main health conditions inherent in patients who have suffered from chronic illnesses. The defining characteristics of knowledge deficit are inaccuracy in adhering to instruction...

...that underlie mood disorders to the development of effective preventive interventions. This paper highlights research about risk factors for depression in children and adolescents and links it to current knowledge about interventions aimed at preventing depression in youth. Basic epidemiologic and clinical research indicates that increased risk for depression is associated with being female; a family history of depression, particularly in a parent; subclinical depressive symptoms; anxiety; stressful life events; neurobiological dysregulation; temperament/personality (e.g., neuroticism); negative cognitions; problems in self-regulation and coping; and interpersonal dysfunction. These vulnerabilities both increase individuals’ chances of encountering stress and decrease their ability to deal with the stress once it occurs. Although several existing depression-prevention studies have targeted one or more of these risk factors, the efficacy of these various prevention programs for youth with different combinations of these risk factors needs to be investigated further. Most existing depression-prevention programs in youth have used cognitive– behavioral techniques, with some success. Other depressionprevention strategies have included training in coping, social problem solving, social skills, communication skills, and parenting. A comprehensive prevention program is recommended that includes multiple intervention components, each of which addresses risk and protective factors across...

...Site Report: Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions BSHS 311, Models of Effective Helping October 11, 2011 Site Report: Cognitive -Behavioral Interventions October is domestic violence awareness month; there is no need for a distinct month to be conscious of the frequency of domestic violence. Domestic violence is rampant across the nation. In this paper the subject to identify is the use of cognitive-behavioral practices within the setting of a woman’s shelter; known as “Turning Point.” The shelter mission is to provide programs and resources that enable victims/survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to regain control of their lives (Turning Point, Inc., n.d.). Population Domestic and sexual violence is a global issue that does not discriminate culturally, socio-economically, race, gender, or age. Turning Point offers programs, shelter, and means for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. A domestic and sexual violence situation occurs when the abuser and the victim have an association, contrasting a stranger attack. Nearly 25% of surveyed women and 7.6% of surveyed men said that they were raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabitating partner, or date at some time in their lifetime. According to these estimates 1.5 million women are raped or physically assaulted by an intimate partner (US Department of Justice...

...Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Reaction Paper Denise Dugan California Baptist University Author Note This paper is being submitted to Dr. Kristen White in partial fulfillment for the requirements for MFT Counseling Techniques, PSY 525, on March 1, 2014. Abstract Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a group therapy approach that utilizes mindfulness techniques and cognitive therapy for depression relapse prevention. This paper will reflect the effectiveness of MBCT from a personal worldview. It will also discuss if MBCT can be utilized in different areas of psychological treatment including: marriage and family therapy, patients with anxiety, culturally diverse groups, and in working with religious patients. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Reaction Paper Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a group therapy treatment that integrates mindfulness and cognitive therapy practices to help individuals that suffer from recurrent depression in the prevention of depression relapse. Zindel Segal, John Teasdale, and Mark Williams developed MBCT, which was adapted from the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) work of Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center for helping people with chronic physical illnesses (Sipe & Eisendrath, 2011). The core element of this treatment modality is mindfulness. MBCT teaches focus on the here and now and to be mindful of the thoughts that are taking place. Mindfulness...
