Tom, a depressed client stated that he had a negative part of himself, who tends to withdraw from others and is compounded by his occasional drug usage. As a Gestalt practitioner, I would take the client’s history and gather impressions of their environmental field; the role peers have played in the process, and the emotional factors. This would lead to ascertain whether there are unsatisfied needs due to separation from their peers or drug usage which may upset the balance of her moods. Due to the holistic nature of Gestalt therapy, other influences will be assessed. Gestalt therapy is the preferred therapy in this case because it assists the client get in touch with himself, tap into ways to release tensions, and discover alternative ways to satisfy their

These disorders are distressing to the individuals who experience them and they have a variety of detrimental side effects on the individual and on others. These behavioural and mental health problems are barriers for successful community placement and integration; they increase support needs; they are associated with physical restraints and pharmacological interventions; they impact family by causing stress and by imposing financial sacrifices and can weigh on staff time, energy and morale (Rojahn, Rowe, Kasdan, Moore & van Ingen, 2011).
The diagnosis of this type of substance use disorder often is difficult because the symptoms of substance abuse can be comparable to the symptoms of other medical and behavioral problems that are found in older adults, such as dementia, diabetes, and depression. Many healthcare providers underestimate the extent of substance abuse problems among older generation, therefore, do not screen older adults. Seniors often live with or are supported by their adult children or other family members because of financial necessity and with their substance abuse it is placing additional financial hardship on supporting families, as well as the psychological damage. If the older adult’s spouse is present, they are likely to be an older adult as well, and may be perplexed by their partners new and disruptive behaviors and may not be able to understand the addiction. Therefore, their spouse may not be in a position to help assist in recovery. Their children may take on a parental, caretaking role. This role reversal can be stressful, painful, and embarrassing. In some cases, grown children may stop providing financial support, physical abuse, and assert emotional control because it is the only influence they have over the parent. Children may cut ties with the parent due to their substance abuse. Cutting ties have only increased the parent’s isolation and may worsen the predicament.

The Spectrum Behavioral Health Staff is consistently committing significant mistakes. That is because of misleading information are constantly given to them. This situation is causing frustration and low levels of job satisfaction among staff members. As a consequence, more and more employees have been resigning from their positions. I have observed, that the company policies and general operations are significantly inconsistent, making it challenging for senior employees to put into practice what they have learned during their training process. I have also observed that new hires are usually trained by multiple senior employees during busy office hours, which in fact can be causing misleading information and confusion. These problems
