However, due to its reliance on the relationships between family members, it may be more difficult to use in families presenting with abuse of violence. Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy Cognitive behavioral family therapy (CBFT), is a problem-focused treatment that relies on clinician-guided client observations and feedback (Patterson, 2014). There is also an emphasis on the goals set around the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors or actions of each individual in the family in the context of their environment. CBFT is goal-centered, which gives clinicians more accessible opportunities to measure success. However, it may assume a level of mental health and learning ability within each member of the family, which may not be appropriate for all clients.…
America viewed itself as the 'New World' and did not need anything to do with the 'Old World', which they saw as being degenerate, dated and loaded with perilous thoughts like Communism. At the point when Wilson went to the Versailles Conference. Most Americans preferred the Monroe Doctrine of 1823, that America ought to stay out of Europe's issues, and Europe ought to stay out of America's. During the 1930s, the Great's mix Depression and the memory of deplorable misfortunes in World War I added to pushing American general conclusion and arrangement toward noninterference.…

As social work students who are interested in the social work fields of private practice, criminal justice, and education, we are likely to encounter adolescents at-risk of encountering the juvenile justice system or with a history in the system. Included in the ever-growing prison population in our country are thousands of people under the age of 18. In late 2014, there were over 50,000 adolescents under the age of 18 in juvenile detention facilities and over 4,000 adolescents under the age of 18 held in adult detention facilities. (Juveniles in Corrections: Demographics, n.d.). The population of females in juvenile institutions is growing as well, in addition to the number of males (McGlynn, Hahn, & Hagan, 2012).…
eliminate distress on the parent's side. Counselors also work with parents by teach them tactics in handling the child when they display disruptive as well as proper tool to help promote communication between parents and the child. The child is also encouraged to form narratives of their experience and work through their feelings connected to the traumatic experience while using the techniques that were previously learned. The TF-CBT approach has shown notable results; however evidence-bases studies have demonstrated its limitations, especially when dealing with children of a specific age group (Scheeringa, Weems, Cohen, Amaya-Jackson, Guthrie, 2011).…

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Approach (TF-CBT). This CBT model focuses on the symptoms associated with trauma such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and behavior disorders (Force, 2008). The social worker chose this model from Ian’s prior history of suspected sexual abuse and his violent past sexual offender behaviors (Ferguson et al…
Many practitioners still believe that a patient must reach sobriety prior to addressing trauma issues, however, when looking at the reality of the circular correlations between PTSD symptoms and substance abuse one might ask "Who would choose to give up something that eases chronic emotional and physical pain, and then engage in therapy that stimulates that pain, without recourse to relief via self-medication?" (Miller, 2002, p. 158). Therefore, Miller (2002) believes it to be ineffectual and a disservice to the patient to focus on substance abuse without addressing the impact of trauma symptoms (Weis, 2010). Unfortunately, there are still differing theoretical approaches in place, many of which still address substance use as the primary disorder…
Although Lang et al. (2010) appeared to successfully develop a tool that may be used by clinicians to inform appropriate treatment approaches when working with children who suffer from trauma, several limitations to their literature surfaced. For instance, the lack of studies and research to review or analyze before developing the algorithm, the variability from patient to patient might make a set procedure difficult for clinicians to implement or rely on, and the need to accurately recognize moderators of outcomes in TF-CBT may prove to be limitations to the authors’ work. However, by expanding research and continuing to conduct and compare outcomes studies, this preliminary algorithm can be enhanced or modified to eventually provide clinicians…
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a form of psychotherapy, is the most effective treatment for PTSD. There are many different forms of Cognitive Behavioral therapy such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure, PE, (“PTSD: National Center for PTSD”). Cognitive Processing Therapy is where the patient learns how the traumatic event changes his or her thoughts and feelings and finds new ways to deal with those thoughts and feelings(“PTSD: National Center for PTSD”). Prolonged exposure is where the patient and therapist talk about the event that caused the patient to develop PTSD until the patient no longer gets upset about the event that took place ( “PTSD: National Center for PTSD” ). Another kind of therapy is called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) this kind of treatment involves focusing on sounds and hand movements while you talk about the trauma(“PTSD: National Center for PTSD”).…
CBT is considered to be a goal oriented approach that can be efficient in the treatment of many psychological issues anywhere from depression to anxiety to mood swings and behaviors as such (“Aaron Beck,” 2015). CBT has evolved throughout the years and has taken in a wide variety of disciplines, including exposure, art, and brief therapy to name a few. CBT’s goal is to strive to keep clients aware of the present while being open-minded to the past. Rather than reliving past traumatic events, CBT encourages clients to recognize how the past can affect their current thoughts and possible behaviors. (Cully & Teten, 2008).…
It is based on the theory that if a person can change their thoughts and their feelings, then they can change their behavior regarding those thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with using client centered techniques to incorporate client cultures and values provides a unique and personalized understanding of the client and the client’s worldviews, beliefs (including spiritual), cultures and traditions which can be incorporated into the therapy session to not only build rapport, but a trust factor between worker and client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is useful in helping the client adjust to new situations, coping with stressful events (i.e.) medical diagnosis, lifestyle changes, anxiety, adaptations to new environments, etc. CBT is considered a brief therapy and is based on client thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; CBT is based on a strong therapeutic relationship between worker and client (Cully, Teten,…
Client was initially attending sessions twice a week until the 12th session when session became weekly. There was a total of 16 sessions. Therapist followed the CPT protocol but there were a few sessions when the client introduced “off track” topics such as problems in the relationship with one of her daughters and anxiety about some medical results. Client came regularly to sessions for the first two weeks (4 sessions) then attendance became irregular as she began to miss one of the two weekly appointments every other week. Therapist addressed avoidance with the client and attendance improved.…
Also, the therapy can be completed in a rather short period of time compared to other talking therapies. The highly-structured nature of the cognitive behavioral therapy can be provided in different formats, including in groups, self-help books, and computer programs. The CBT could teach a client useful and practical strategies that can be use in everyday life, even after the treatment is completed (The National Health Service, 2017).…
