In this chapter, Anderson, Lunnen, and Ogles (2010) discuss the interrelationship between theories of psychotherapy and the techniques used by those theories. They argue that the techniques used by therapists and the common change factors of all models of psychotherapy cannot be separated from the therapist’s underlying theory of psychotherapy. They unite these aspects into a contextual model. Anderson et al.’s contextual model and discussion of placebos will be evaluated and then applied to the author’s future therapeutic practice. Unfortunately, due to the pervasive influence of postmodern philosophy throughout the chapter, there is little that should be applied to one’s practice of psychotherapy.
In doing this it helps the client recognize patterns in how they avoid destress and how and why they developed their defense mechanisms. Psychodynamic therapists encourage their clients to speak freely of their thoughts, emotions, desires, and fears in order to let out the vulnerable feelings that have been pushed out of the conscious mind and out of their awareness. Psychodynamic therapy sessions are open ended and based on a process of free association. (Gad,
Children are reacting to the authority of persons in their lives. The teacher acts in a firm but friendly manner to reinforce limits, raise conscious levels, and teach alternative behaviours. I have noticed a child in a childcare, showed mistaken behaviour as a result of dominant character. Despite her small size, she has rapidly become one of the leaders. She plays with just about all of toys, and she has a constant need to be in control of other. She occasionally gets in to arguments, with her peers when they no longer accept her leadership. She has difficulty resolving these conflicts and frequently has a tantrum when she is unable to have her own way. Then I made them sit quietly and I asked her whether she likes it when her friend feels sad. He says "no." I continue to guide him through discovering a solution by asking questions until we reach one that works. The kind gesture makes her feel happy and stopped her argument with peers. Together we find a solution that builds her awareness and how to solve peer conflicts, giving him tools to build positive relationships in the future. According to Gartrell” At the socially influenced level, children have learned that using

Although, this session ended with amazing results, I feel as though I need more practice with this type of therapy. I have to continue to practice on allowing the patient to come up with their own solutions. I found it hard not giving advice to my client, because I already knew the situation. However, in the end I found myself very proud, because even though this was not a real therapy session, but the client was able to find a real solution to her problem. This experience is one that teaches the therapist restraint, it allows one to step back and listen. It also gives the client the opportunity to reach a solution themselves without someone giving them the answer to their
At times it may be possible to modify the environment of the student by implementing preventive strategies. Some examples of these are teachers stating clear expectations, modifying seating arrangements, adapting the pace of instruction, avoiding exposing the student to long delays, providing a choice of activities, and allowing the student to take breaks. There are three types of alternative skill instruction. Replacement skills or behaviors must serve the exact same function as the problem behavior. More general skills alter the problem situations and help prevent the need for the problem behavior. These skills may include academic instruction if academic deficits are the main reason the student has behavioral issues. Coping and tolerance skills such as anger management are things the student learns to do when he or she is faced with difficult situations. Replacement Behaviors must serve the same function and have meaning for the student. It is important that the behavior be something the student is capable of doing and be socially acceptable in the context. The behavior must be immediately effective and tolerable to the

Students with emotional and behavioral disorder (EBD) exhibit various characteristics relevant to their identified diagnosis. The primary characteristic of students with EBD is problem behaviors are displayed at school, home, community, and other social settings. These problem behaviors are described professionally as externalizing and internalizing behaviors that students with EBD often engage in regularly. Externalizing behaviors are described as acting-out behaviors that are aggressive and/or disruptive that is observable as behaviors directed towards others. Internalizing behaviors are behaviors that are construed as acting-in behaviors such as anxiety, fearfulness, withdrawal, and other indications of an individual's mood or internal condition. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the characteristics associated with internalized and externalized behaviors.
This meeting was the second therapy session with the client. After a brief introduction and summary of the last session, I wanted to explore where the client was regarding her current situation. The client recently discovered that her husband was having an affair and spent the holiday (Thanksgiving) with her sister in an attempt to think about her situation and how she wants to handle it. The client has not confronted her husband and is trying to decide how to move forward. The client was less distressed during this session than she was in the previous one. She appeared to have thought about her options for dealing with the situation while spending time at her sisters over Thanksgiving. I wanted to find out if anything had changed for her regarding
Cool down: The teacher intervenes and uses techniques to lower their emotions during the conflict.
Poor communication skills cause students to use violence to vent their frustration. Many young children demonstrate aggression when they are not understood by adults or peers. This aggression will continue as children get older if parents and educators do not teach children how to communicate effectively by using language instead of violence. Children with immature forms of language are more likely to display physical aggression than children with more extensive language skills (Piel 100). Child therapists may argue that verbal communication training cannot always be effective in reducing aggression, and this result can be true in some children; however, in a study by Durand and Carr, establishing functional communication skills was found to be the only solution to reducing problem behaviors (qtd. in Piel 106). Traini...
