...Strengths and Weaknesses The comprehensive suicide intervention program for children and adolescents in foster care boasts several strengths that augment its potential effectiveness. A key advantage lies in its utilization of creative arts therapies, including art, music, drama, and storytelling, which offer foster youth alternative channels for emotional expression and processing. Research conducted by Stuckey and Nobel (2020) highlights the therapeutic benefits of engaging in artistic activities, such as improved mood, reduced stress, and increased self-esteem. By incorporating these therapeutic modalities into the intervention program, foster children and adolescents can tap into their creativity to explore and communicate their emotions in a safe and supportive environment, potentially leading to more profound therapeutic outcomes. Another strength of the intervention program is its holistic approach to suicide prevention, which addresses the multifaceted needs of foster youth within the context of their families, communities, and support...

...of art therapy are drawing, painting, making collages, and coloring. Art therapy helps clients to uncover the nonverbal messages, metaphors, and symbols that are often found in art. This therapy leads clients to better understand their feelings and emotions. By understanding their emotions, art therapy helps clients to conquer the behavior caused by these emotions so that they can work on resolving deeper issues. Schooling/Degrees In order to become an art therapist, you must attend the right school and obtain the right degrees. A master’s degree is required for entry-level practice as an art therapist. The educational standards require at least 60 semester credit hours of graduate level coursework including training in studio art, the creative process, psychological development, group therapy, art therapy assessment, psychodiagnostics, research methods, and multicultural diversity competence. Attendees must also complete 100 hours of supervised practicum along with 600 hours of supervised art therapy clinical internship. The art therapy graduate curriculum is uniquely guided by the premise that focused art-making constitutes reflective practice and facilitates learning. Job Outlook/Places of Employment Even though art therapy is classified as a mental health treatment option and has seen substantial growth in the past decade, the number of art therapy jobs is small compared to the number of counseling jobs where individuals can use their art therapy training and credentials...

...professional there were many things that I considered, my main consideration was placed on which theoretical orientation I would use in order to help those whom I would work to assist. In my opinion this was the most important factor regarding my success with a patient/client. I have chosen to put into practice the study of CBT, Motivational Interviewing along with other models of helping which include: the study of creative theory, and the study of multicultural issues. Choosing CBT was an easy task for me for I believe in both the behavioral and cognitive approach/technique, and when combined this form of therapy is successful. Working from an MI perspective will allow me as a future professional to have the knowledge it takes to determine my client(s) ability to change, I will know from using this approach whether or not my clients are ready, willing or able to change, using this approach will permit me to effectively help my clients move gradually towards change, not pushing them but meeting them where they are and helping them to help themselves to where they want to be. Creative Therapy, is a technique used to help individuals or families express what they cannot verbally, these techniques are remarkable in promoting change as well as placing emphasis on having and finding a deeper meaning of self. Studying Multicultural Issues, in my opinion is very important task in the helping field, this particular class has shown me that there are many issues culturally that are without notice...

...aware of their actions, how they are acting, and the ways they can change their actions and learn to accept and appreciate themselves. Here, the emphasis is mainly on the process rather than the content of the therapy, that is, what is happening rather than what is being discussed. Gestalt therapy was mainly considered for adults. However, Violet Oaklander (2007) says that it is also suitable to be applied to children since it involves the body and the senses, all of which fit the therapeutic works with the children. The purpose of this paper is to formulate a response in the manner a Gestalt therapist would work with children of ages between 4 and 12. Here, the general and Gestalt literature is explored, synthesized and evaluated on working with this particular population, their specific needs and particular ethical challenges that may emerge while working with them. A comparison is offered on how different modalities with the children, and also a situation of experimentation created for the therapeutic work, built on the analyses. Gestalt Developmental Theory According to Jean Piaget (2004), there are four cognitive stages for the development of a child. From the age of 4 to 7, a child perceives a world through their magical thinking and animism. At this stage, children acquire motor skills and also some...

...E D U C AT I O N A L I N N O VAT I O N Creative Learning: The Mandala as Teaching Exercise Margaret Cole Marshall, MS, APRN, BC ABSTRACT Faculty committed to undergraduate education have discovered the need to address teaching strategies that focus on the new generation of students. In teaching an undergraduate course on Nursing the Client with a Mental Illness, the affective domain of learning is used to develop interpersonal competence, self-awareness, and self-reflection. The teaching technique used is an experiential exercise that asks students to create group mandalas using art materials on circular pieces of butcher-block paper. The mandala concept is derived from the Buddhist tradition and means “circle” or “center” in Sanskrit. Carl Jung introduced this technique to the United States and incorporated it into his therapy. As a creative, active learning strategy, the mandalas helped the faculty meet the clinical objectives for the course and the learning needs of a new generation of students. They also helped students learn about Eastern philosophy, group process, self-awareness, and Jungian therapy.

Brief Background and View to Human Nature Psychodrama was originated by Jacob Levy Moreno (1889-1974) who taught, practiced and continuously developed psycho-dramatic methods in Europe and United States since 1921 until his death in 1974. Moreno was born in Romania, immigrated to Austria with his family as a child, and moved to the United States in 1925. As a psychiatrist trained in Vienna at that time, his training was psychoanalytically oriented. However, he disagreed with Freudian focus on dysfunctions, and instead, developed an approach based on human strength and potential. He believed in innate human capacity...

...Health Care Communication Tara Clark HCS 350 October 7, 2013 Penny Horper Personal and Professional Health Care Communication Today’s environment of healthcare is both specialized and clinical. Health care communication is a vital component of health care for every patient. Because nurses have a greater responsibility, interaction with patient’s and families can often be hurried, leaving them feeling like they have many unanswered questions. Communication or therapeutic communication as defined by Ruesch (1961) in health care is “an interactive dynamic process entered into by nurse and client for the purpose of achieving identified health-related goals” (p. 175). Relevancy of Communication Health care communication involves many different aspects from both the sender and the receiver of the message. Health care communication is relevant with other health care professionals, patients, and families because it is vital in establishing a trusting, therapeutic, caring environment for everyone involved and can affect outcomes and satisfaction. A code of conduct defines acceptable and unacceptable behaviors for each organization and promotes a culture of collegiality and is essential for a work environment that strives to provide high-quality patient care. Collaborating with other health care professionals is relevant because it helps create a culture of teamwork and essentially helps provide the best care and leaves you feeling valued. This environment...

...relationships provide more advice not therapy, therapy is providing clients with tools to solve things for themselves by establishing goals and objectives. Other relationships are more optional and usually more long term. The client is the focus of the therapeutic relationship. Pain is more acceptable in therapy, client is more concerned with how someone they know feels about their situation versus a therapist, making conversation more goal oriented. There are usually more personal boundaries in a therapeutic relationship. Clinicians diagnose mental health disorders because they see symptoms of the diagnosis. Most insurance companies require a diagnosis in order to pay for treatment. The main text for the diagnosis is the DSM-V. Self-disclosure can promote immediacy in a counselor-client...

...and meaningless. “Existential therapy can best be described as a philosophical approach that influences a counselor’s therapeutic practice” (Corey, p. 131). Founders of Existential Therapy include Soren Kagarra, Fredrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger and Martin Buber. They employed the humanistic approach. The contributing developers include Victor Frankl, Rollo May, Irvin Yalom, and James Bugental who developed the theory into what we have today. As one looks at the Philosophy and basic assumptions existential therapy looks at the unique characteristics that make us human and uses them as a foundation to build upon. Existential therapy also puts a great emphasis on freedom, choice, responsibility, and self determination. This student applauds that existential therapy suggests that we are the authors of our own lives. Our goal is to create meaning in our lives. There are six key propositions in existential therapy. The first is we have the capacity for self awareness, the second is because we are basically free beings we must accept the responsibility that accompanies our freedom. Third, we have a concern to preserve our uniqueness and identity. The fourth proposition suggests that we recreate ourselves through our projects. Finally, Death is a basic human condition. Being aware of death gives significance to our lives. Concerning therapeutic goals, Existential therapy provides an invitation to clients to recognize the way in which they are not...

The hierarchy of needs also helped therapist understand themselves. Maslow thought that if therapist was at self actualization then they would be better equipped to help their patients. He wanted therapist to lead people in the direction of loving themselves and finding their own self actualization which is the highest need on the hierarchy (Feist & Feist, 2009, ch. 10).

...contributions from others and expansion of his theory and lastly, I will discuss the limitations of person-centred approach that may result in ineffective therapy. Philosophy of person-centred approach Carl Rogers developed person-centred therapy in the 1940s. He wanted to move away from therapist reliant to a therapeutic relationship where he had a more humanistic philosophy which is captured nicely by the metaphor of “how an acorn, if provided with the appropriate conditions will “automatically” grow in positive ways, pushed naturally towards its actualization as an oak.” Rogers was born in Illinois to a very strict religions family. He originally studied agriculture, then theology and finally psychology. Rogers approach was developed over four periods. The first being in the 1940s which saw the birth of “non-directive counselling”. Rogers became the leading figure in the third force of psychology known as the Humanistic psychology movement. His philosophy was that people are essentially all good and for the most part able to solve their own problems without direct intervention by the therapist. The therapist’s role is to provide a specific therapeutic climate in order for this change to occur. Thorne B (1992) sums this up nicely by saying “The person-centred counsellor believes that each individual has the potential to become a unique and beautiful creation but that none of...
