132). Sometimes in group therapy, it is important to consider the experiences each member is dealing with, yet it is also pivotal to the progress of the group to consider how other members are reacting both verbally and nonverbally to one another. Before reading this novel, I was unsure of what content versus process entailed. I associated process with the procedures of the meeting rather than the reactions of the members. Through reading about the group’s progress from the eyes of Julius, the facilitator, I was finally able to grasp the distinction between content and process.…
My knees shook and my hands twisted as I looked around the clean, polished, well-lit room of MidAtlantic Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation. The light gray rafters and fans of the high ceiling would become very familiar to me as I executed the repetitive exercises, mainly on my back. While the room was undecorated and rather blank, it felt bright and welcoming due to the energetic, optimistic attitude of the occupants. Everyone there, therapist or patient, was working towards a goal, making the environment that much more positive and…

A routine is very important for a baby or a child because it can be very useful in helping young people to adapt both physically and emotionally to a pattern that occurs regularly and suits both the child and the carer. A routine is a source of learning which is important as a child’s exploration is a play material. This can be by: • The child’s personal physical care routines which is necessary for young children who cannot yet take care of themselves, such as changing, cleaning, dressing and feeding. • Daily routines of care are a support mechanism, such as arrival and leaving times, meals and snacks, rest or sleep periods.…
Shared patient visits are becoming popular in the medical field throughout the country due to their successful methods, supportive care, and informative solutions to patients about various medical conditions and ailments. Doctors seem to benefit from shared patient visits as well. Patients seem to feel more at ease, supported, and motivated to learn about their health and are more prone to changing lifestyle habits. Would you rather wait an hour or two to see your doctor for ten minutes or meet at a prearranged time and see the doctor, along with twenty five other patients, for two hours?
