  • Reflection For An Individualized Safety Plan Development

    1444 Words  | 3 Pages

    In thinking about helping someone develop a safety plan in case they find themselves in an intimate partner violence or IPV situation, I turned to a woman I know that is soon to be married. The couple has had some quarrels that verge on verbal abuse off and on for the past year. Although none have resulted in physical violence, learning about intimate partner violence allows me to see aspects of relationships in a different light than I have seen them before. The potential victim with whom I have chosen to facilitate the safety plan does not consider her relationship to be abusive, nor do I. However, the victim, Crissy, could use a plan of action if the verbally abusive fights begin to take a physical nature. This reflection will include the summary of developing the safety plan, the issues the plan brought up, and the emotional reflection of both the victim and myself. It is important to note that all names have been changed for the sake of confidentiality.

  • The Hypothesis Of Cognitive Behavior Therapy

    1773 Words  | 4 Pages

    Self-destructive thoughts can lead to self-destructive action, which can easily manifest itself as drug use and abuse as a form of self medication. Cognitive-behavior therapy seeks to alleviate these destructive thoughts through focusing on thoughts, images, beliefs, and attitudes and how these ideas affect the way a patient thinks to deal with emotional problems (Marrin, B., Psy.D., 2016). Cognitive-behavior therapy is very effective for practitioners with a large case load and limited time since sessions are only about fifty minutes long and only take a total of five to ten months to complete, as well as being very customizable to the particular clients needs, to create the most effective outcome. The three hypotheses of cognitive-behavior therapy, when fully implemented, can have the ability to deter future drug use/abuse, while also helping thus learn how to react differently to situations, making relapse because of particular life events less likely.

    927 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hundreds of household products are being misused as inhalants. Some of these products include nail polish remover, hair spray, cleaning fluids, spray paint, and the propellant in aerosol whipped cream (“Inhalants“, 2010). Inhalants are breathable chemical vapors that users intentionally inhale because of the chemical’s mind-altering effects (National Institute on Drug Abuse [NIDA], 2010).

  • The Effects of Marijuana on Today’s Youth

    2813 Words  | 6 Pages

    The use of drugs and mind-alternating substances has been a part of society for decades. The ‘high’ that people attain from the use of such substances is very attractive and exciting however, the effects of this use are minimized. Particularly for youth, a group of individuals who are seeking independence and experimentation, drug use represents the balance between taking risks and taking responsibility for one’s actions. However, the developmental processes of adolescents are known to not encompass the maturity required to fully think through such decisions. As such, the use of a ‘smaller-scale’ drug like marijuana is even more minimized. The purpose of this paper is to discuss what the risks of using marijuana are for youths, why they are the most affected, how this problem has progressed over the last three decades, and what preventative measures and treatment options are in place. It will also discuss what schools, parents, and government agencies could be doing to help improve the issue, and the impact that this issue is having on society.

  • The Importance Of Safety In The Health Care Environment

    Safety is a primary concern in the health care environment, but there are still many preventable errors that occur. In fact, a study from ProPublica in 2013 found that between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year suffer preventable harm in the hospital (Allen, 2013). Safety in the healthcare environment is not only keeping the patient safe, but also the employee. If a nurse does not follow procedure, they could bring harm to themselves, the patient, or both. Although it seems like such a simple topic with a simple solution, there are several components to what safety really entails.

  • Aversion Therapy

    1279 Words  | 3 Pages

    Though the nausea associated with the drug and mental imaging can deter patients away from alcohol and other substance abuse it does not eliminate the withdrawal symptoms associated with the cessation of using a substance. Although the disulfiram drugs can help prevent relapse, clients will still experience dependency symptoms. It is best that the disulfiram is combined with other treatments to be most effective. Another drawback of this research is that it can be considered unethical from some critics. The act of making clients induce their own sickness to stop a behavior could be detrimental to the patient’s health. The same goes for the administering of electric shock. In the past, it was not uncommon for electric shocks to be used on homosexual patients. This treatment is considered unethical because of the negative stigma around it from harming people in the past. It is also important to notice that these treatments may only be addressing the negative behavior instead of the underlying motivation behind the clients’ urges. It can be easy for the client to then just substitute the undesirable behavior with another one. Another point raised is that aversion therapy will not work on its’ own. Taking drugs to reduce the effects of a negative behavior usually results in clients dropping out of the treatment. Treatment may not always work. In learned behavior, extinction can sometimes occur that

  • Argumentative Essay On Legalizing Marijuana

    1534 Words  | 4 Pages

    People usually abuse marijuana by becoming addicted and smoking it just because instead of using it for their well-being. I went around and asked about ten people I know who have been smoking for at least five years. When I asked them if they had ever experienced memory problems, learning difficulties, trouble with problem solving and loss of muscle activity and addictive capability, they responded, “If anything, marijuana enhances my memory.” “I would not be able to learn in school if I did not smoke.” “The only problem I had, was being addicted to marijuana, but it was all in my head because when I finally stopped smoking, I had no withdrawal symptoms.” The only side effect that seemed to be accurate when asking these questions was the addictive properties. Although being addicted to marijuana mentally can be a problem, all of the many positive side effects of marijuana outweigh the one negative side effect that seems to be the most
