They seated up a problem-solving approach consist of steps: orientation, problem definition, goal setting, and generation of alternatives, decision making, action, and evaluation. Therefore the authors believed that good problem-solving skills consist of the ability to recognize a problem when it arises, define the problem clearly and accurately, produce a diversity of possible solutions, anticipate outcomes, formulate an effective action plan that has stepwise stages, and carry out the action plan effectively. Thus ineffective problem solving has been linked to a range of psychological problems like anxiety and aggression. Their study proceeds that the development of a 'stop & think ' as an intervention for personality-disordered is a worthwhile endeavor that has a get deal of an effect on decision…
o Elevate mood and develop healthy cognitive patterns and beliefs about self and the world that leads to alleviation of Leydi’s sense of impending doom. o Find out more about minor’s resources and strengths to access these abilities and help the minor to put them to use. o Counselor would use a scale from 1 to 10 in each session to anchor problems, measure progress and to obtain a rating from the client on where they perceive they are on the scale that day o Use Solution Focused Therapy to focus therapy on solution-building rather than problem-solving. …
When using this model, therapist will try to avoid conversations (which is not always possible) about what is healthy/unhealthy or might be functional/dysfunctional within a relationship (Gurman, 2008). The whole point of Solution-Focused Therapy is to help the clients reach their goals that they wish to achieve by trying to keep the client focused on that goal so that it can be reached (Gurman,…
This therapy is derived influenced by several other theories such as Behavioral, Cognitive and Social Learning theories.

One idea is the technique used in solution-focused therapy. This technique was the use scaling questions to assess client motivation. I would use this as an indicator to both me and the client to show how motivated they really are to change and what they are doing to take the next step to change. The fact that recovery is supported by peers and allies (Riosalado, 2015). This ideas was interesting to me because I agree with it.…
As mentioned previously, the study of psychotherapy encompasses a variety of theoretical approaches. Each form of therapy borrows elements from each other, while building upon new ideas and techniques to call their own. Psychotherapy is described as “A collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and a psychologist. Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows [the client] to talk openly with someone who’s objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental” (“Understanding Psychotherapy,” n.d.). Psychotherapy assists people in modifying their emotions, cognitions, and behaviors.…

Stan faces a lot of issues especially an important one that deals with depression. I would apply the solution-focused brief therapy because it would help Stan focus on his issues and gain an understanding of what made the problem emerged. The therapist helped Stan chose his own goals and path that Stan will wish to accomplish. Stan is requiring changing in his life and becoming better at handling his situation. Stan wants to make the change in life for himself, so the therapist would listen to all problems and found a lead way to a solution of overcoming some of his issues.…
The study performed by Jamie Bedics, David Atkins and Marsha Linehan, main goal was to explore the therapist/patient relationship in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in answer to critics who say that DBT treats the symptoms of patients with BPD and does not focus on the patient’s internal or intrapsychic change. The researchers sought to examine and test these internal changes in regards to the therapeutic relationship in DBT as compared to community treatment by experts (CTBE) . This study had 4 hypotheses. The first hypothesis stated that DBT participants would show more internal self-care and positivity during the length of the study than those participants who were selected to…
Solution-focused therapy focuses on helping clients find solutions in order to help resolve their current problems (Langdridge, 2006). This type of therapy focuses on the future instead of focusing too much on the past and on the client’s current problems (Langdridge, 2006). Solution-focused therapy is also beneficial for clients like Andrew since it emphasizes on client’s self-determination, on their strengths and resources (Coady & Lehmann, 2008). This is important for Andrew since it will empower him to take charge of his life. Sometimes, we as individuals, forget about our strengths and resources within us and so sometimes we need to be reminded.…
What I learned in this course In this course, I completed reading the text Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy written by Gerald Corey, which helped me have a better understanding of different types of theories and how they can benefit or help potential clients I may have. From all the theories studied in this course, there are some theories that I would like to apply that would be beneficial in helping me guide my clients to the right path. Person-centered therapy: In this therapy, Carl Roger recommended that the client would have the best help if the therapist motivates the client to concentrate on the problem then on the interpretation that others have on the situation.…
The purpose of this reflection paper is to portray the knowledge that I have learned throughout this semester regarding the multisystem utilized to identify traits and behaviors associated with the assessments of family members. Marta Lundy’s article gave a brief history of theoretical integration as she describes a multi-systemic, multi-theoretical integrative model for social work practice, even though each reading assignment was associated with a movie or a book provided by the instructor and required all students to provide a written analysis. The introductory of the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutic (NMT), an evidence based practice approach teaching the class of the clinical problem solving therapeutic technique, working with…
In looking at this theoretical approach, I found through reading that it shares important features with Carl Rogers’ person-centered therapy with the emphasis on facilitating the client’s ability to cope and to solve problems, long-term positive effects, and acceptance of the client’s internal frame of reference…
