1 Assessment Instruments Student Example Anxiety and Related Disorders Week 7 Instrument: Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) Article: Psychometric properties of the Social Phobia Inventory Appropriateness for Dx: This tool is meant for screening of individuals with social phobia and assignment of a severity score (Connor et al., 2000). The tool was created in congruence with DSM-4 but is consistent with the DSM-5 diagnosis of social anxiety disorder, minus some minor changes (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration [SAMHSA], 2016). Although the study is outdated, Duke University School of Medicine (2020) acknowledges that the tool is still relevant and utilized by their Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program. Response to Therapy/Treatment: The SPIN is appropriate for testing treatment response and through studies has proven sensitive to symptom changes over time. Changes in scores are able to determine treatment efficiency (Connor et al., 2000). Psychometrics: The tool is self-administered and consists of 17 separate statements regarding problems a patient may exhibit if they have social phobia. The statement is then rated on how much it has bothered the individual in the last week, from ‘not at all’ (0) to ‘extremely’ (4). Any score over 21 is considered clinically significant. In the study, the assessment tool was able to effectively separate individuals with and without social phobia. Validity is strong in regard to detecting the severity of illness and is sensitive to symptom reductions during treatment. The scale shows significant correlation with the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale Test, The Brief Social Phobia Scale and The Fear Questionnaire social phobia subscale (Connor et al., 2000). Limitations: Limitations exist in the tool’s alignment with DSM-4 instead of the more recent edition, although differences are very minor (SAMHSA, 2016). With a cutoff score of 19, sensitivity and specificity were good, but some individuals consider the cutoff score to be 15, in which these measures are weaker (Connor et al., 2000).

1 PAGE 2 1. What is the question the authors are asking? They asked about a reduction in judgmental biases regarding the cost and probability associated with adverse social events as they are presumed as being mechanisms for the treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Also, the authors poised on the changes in judgmental biases as mechanisms to explain cognitive-behavioral therapy for social anxiety disorder. On top of that, they stated that methodological limitations extant studies highlight the possibility that rather than causing symptom relief, a significant reduction in judgmental biases tends to be consequences of it or correlate. Considerably, they expected cost bias at mid-treatment to be a predictor of the treatment outcome. 2. Why do the authors believe this question is important? According to the authors, this question was relevant as methodological limitations of present studies reflect on the possibility that instead of causing symptom belief, a significant reduction in judgmental biases can be consequences or correlated to it. Additionally, they ought to ascertain the judgment bias between treated and non-treated participants. Significantly, this was important as they had to determine the impact of pre and post changes in cost and probability of the treatment outcomes. But, probability bias at mid-treatment was a predictor of the treatment outcome contrary to the cost bias at mid-treatment that could not be identified as a significant predictor of the treatment outcome. 3. How do they try to answer this question? They conducted a study to evaluate the significant changes in judgmental bias as aspects of cognitive-behavioral therapy for social anxiety disorders. To do this, they conducted a study using information from two treatment studies; an uncontrolled trial observing amygdala activity as a response to VRE (Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy) with the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging and a randomized control trial that compared Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy with Exposure Group Therapy for SAD. A total of 86 individuals who met the DSM-IV-TR criteria for the diagnosis of non-generalized (n=46) and generalized (n=40) SAD participated. After completing eight weeks of the treatment protocol, the participants who identified public speaking as their most fearsome social situation were included. The SCID (Structured clinical interview for the DSM-IV) was used to ascertain diagnostic and eligibility status on Axis 1 conditions within substance abuse, mood and anxiety disorder modules. The social anxiety measures were measured with the use of BFNE (Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation), a self-reporting questioner that examined the degree to which persons fear to be assessed by other across different social settings. Additionally, the OPQ (Outcome Probability Questionnaire) self-reporting questionnaire was used to evaluate individual’s estimate on the probability that adverse, threatening events will occur at t ...

Therapeutic change an object relations perspective 1994

Sandra Nascimento

This document provides an overview of the book "Therapeutic Change: An Object Relations Perspective" which evaluates long-term intensive psychotherapy treatment of very disturbed patients at the Austen Riggs Center. The study found impressive changes in patients over 15 months of treatment based on ratings of clinical records and psychological tests, including decreased symptoms, improved relationships, increased intelligence, and decreased unrealistic thinking. Patients were categorized as having either anaclitic or introjective personality types, and changes occurred in different ways for each group consistent with their personality organization. Certain Rorschach responses at intake also predicted greater therapeutic change.

Joey Wallace RE: Discussion 1 - Week 9 Collapse Top of Form Total views: 37 (Your views: 4) Abdel a 40-year-old male refugee with a bachelor’s degree in theology spent 12 years living in a refugee camp in an African nation (Plummer & Makris, 2014). He was first considered a refugee by a United Nations six months after arriving at the camp but was forced to wait 12 years before his arrangements were finalized to come to the United States (Plummer & Makris, 2014). During his time in the camp, he lost all contact with family and friends and was informed that his wife had remarried and had other children by her new husband (Plummer & Makris, 2014). Abdel was heartbroken by this news but wanted his wife to be happy with her new life because she believed him to be deceased, during his time in camp both of Abdel parents passed away adding to his depression (Plummer & Makris, 2014). Before making it to the refugee camp Abdel was a prisoner who was beaten and deprived of food, water and basic sanitary necessities (Plummer & Makris, 2014). These conditions have caused him to have poor dental health and chronic health problems (Plummer & Makris, 2014) Because of his refugee status, Abdel qualifies for some special services offered by the United States government (Plummer & Makris, 2014). Close to 1 million refugees from around the world have entered the United States, fleeing repression, war, terrorism, and disease the government understands that many refugees and immigrants will appear in the offices of health care professionals with symptoms that may be related either directly or indirectly to torture both physical and psychological torture may result in long-term sequelae (Weinstein, Dansky & Iacopino, 1996). Abdel enrolled in a program to get job training, continuous education information and help with bonding with his new community (Plummer & Makris, 2014). When Abdel first started the program the work could since that Abdel was angry with how his life had changed over the years, from the imprisonment, losing his family and now having to rely on the support of a strange new government (Plummer & Makris, 2014). For the issues that Abdel is facing, I chose to use the Novaco Anger Scale and Provocation Inventory (NAS-PI. This test was designed to as.

The document discusses the Holland Codes RIASEC theory of careers and vocational choice based on personality types. Psychologist John Holland developed the theory which categorizes personality into six types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. The theory uses a three-letter code to represent a client's overall personality based on their interests. Tests like the O*NET Interest Profiler and Interest-Finder use Holland's codes to assess personality types and suggest suitable careers.

This document summarizes research on the Psychosocial Index (PSI), a self-rating scale for assessing stress, well-being, distress, illness behavior, and quality of life. The PSI was developed based on clinimetric principles to provide clinicians with a simple screening tool. It covers domains like stress, well-being, psychological distress, abnormal illness behavior, and quality of life. Studies have found the PSI to be highly sensitive and able to significantly differentiate levels of psychosocial factors among groups. In clinical practice, the PSI allows clinicians to quickly assess which symptoms patients perceive as most troublesome.

Hello Kasie, You mentioned you were surprised at how long it took people to realize that sports psychology is an important topic. I was also surprised at how long it took. It was not until 1970 it had become established. Sports psychology grew and received recognition as its own subdiscipline (Williams & Krane, 2021). Sports psychology was no longer grouped with motor learning within kinesiology. Now there are people who are certified in sports psychology who analyze the development and performance in an athletic individual. Along with you, I was surprised with just the few women the material discussed who made major contributions to sports psychology as we know it. I like how you mentioned the lengths women had to go to be heard during those times. The book did open my eyes and made me more grateful to have access to factual material and be able to have freedom to express my thoughts. Though going through hardships, there were several women who have assumed leadership roles in developing sports psychology (Krane & Whaley, 2010). Though there were not many women, the women who did contribute had a significant influence on the development of it. You mentioned how the book contradicts itself by not having enough information on the topic. My question to you is what information do you wish the material contained which you feel it lacked?

Integrated Psychological Therapy (IPT) and Wellness Self-Management (WSM) are two multimodal workbook-based treatments for individuals with schizophrenia. IPT was developed in 1994 and focuses on remediating cognitive deficits through group exercises before building social skills. Research shows IPT improves neurocognition, symptoms, and functioning. WSM was developed in 2001 from Illness Management and Recovery and uses a personal workbook to build competencies like medication management. Over 80% of facilities using WSM continued ten months later. Both treatments aim to improve functioning through cognitive and social rehabilitation, though IPT has more extensive research support currently.

1 Clinical Problem Social Anxiety is described by The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-5) as a persistent fear of social situations where the person is exposed to people or to possible scrutiny by others and fears that he/she will display symptoms of anxiety or be perceived in a way that will be embarrassing and humiliating (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This topic was chosen as according to Kessler et al. (2012) social anxiety is among the most common anxiety disorder affecting 13% of individuals at some stage in their lives. From experience, and according to Krysta et al. (2015) medication is the first line treatment for anxiety disorders due to accessibility. Unfortunately, for people experiencing social anxiety most medications have adverse effects such as increased agitation and sexual dysfunction (Rosen et al 1999) and some medication, in particular benzodiazepines are highly addictive (Lader and Kyriacou, 2016). Townend et al. (2008) report that CBT remains the psychological therapy with the widest and broadest evidence base. Beck et al (1979) define Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a concept where an individual’s emotions and behaviours are based on the way that they interpret the world through their cognitions. NICE (2011) (cited in Clark, 2011) recommend psychological therapies prior to medication for anxiety disorders however due to a lack of therapists in mental health services this is not the case in clinical practice which led to the rationale for the following research question. 2 Clinical question Are psychological interventions more efficacious than pharmacological interventions to help reduce social anxiety disorder (SAD) symptoms in adults? Bragge (2010) explains that answerable clinical research questions have four essential components known as PICO. This therapy type question was developed using these components (P) Population: adults that experience social anxiety (I) Intervention: Psychological interventions (C) Comparator: Pharmacological Interventions (O) Outcome: reduction of social anxiety symptoms. Search Strategy and Outcome A systematic literature search was carried out using electronic databases which were individually accessed via Queens Online, including MEDLINE, Science Direct, PschINFO and Cochrane (see Appendix 1). Roberts and Dicenso (1999) suggest that questions in relation to interventions and their effectiveness are best answered by randomized control trials or based on the hierarchy of evidence, systematic reviews. BestBets.org was also accessed for evidence based synopses. The three papers the author deemed relevant to answer the clinical question above are as follows; Clark et al. (2003) Nordahl et al (2016) Davidson et al. (2004) 3 These three studies were chosen as their methodological design appeared to answer the clinical questi.

Schizophrenia and diagnosis by Angeline David

kellula

This document provides information about schizophrenia, including its clinical characteristics, biological and psychological explanations, and biological and psychological therapies. It outlines the main clinical characteristics of schizophrenia such as psychotic symptoms that involve a break from reality, lack of insight into their condition, and both positive symptoms like delusions and hallucinations as well as negative symptoms like flattened affect and social withdrawal. It also discusses issues surrounding the classification and diagnosis of schizophrenia in terms of reliability and validity. There are differences between classification systems like the DSM and ICD that can impact reliability. Factors like cultural biases, variability between countries, and studies showing poor reliability of diagnoses also pose challenges. However, improvements have been made to increase standardization and reliability

This study examined the relationships between psychological traits, psychiatric traits, and types of impulsivity. 84 participants completed surveys measuring the Big Five personality traits, personality disorders, and functional and dysfunctional impulsivity. Results showed functional impulsivity was related to aspects of Extraversion and Openness, while dysfunctional impulsivity correlated with Neuroticism and reports of various personality disorders. Aspects of Neuroticism and low Conscientiousness positively correlated with personality disorders, while Extraversion and Openness showed negative correlations. This provides insight into links between normal personality variation and maladaptive traits.

Abstract: The acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is one of the most dreaded entities that modern medicine has ever had to tackle. Depression is the most frequently observed psychiatric disorder among HIV/AIDS patients. It interferes with all aspects of living and may have a severe negative impact on quality of life. An HIV positive diagnosis is a life changing event and may induce shock, a sense of helplessness, denial, and occasional self blame. Belonging to a support group may be of assistance in preventing depression. PLWHA should be advised to belong to a support group. To improve the role of support groups their sizes should be limited. Methodology: Aim of the Study: To determine the prevalence of depression among HIV positives and to find out the role Support group in reduction of depression. Study Setting & Design: A tertiary care hospital, and Positive networks, Cross sectional study.

Here are a few issues with the methodology described: - The sample size of 24 mother-infant dyads is very small, making it difficult to generalize findings to the broader population. Larger samples are needed to increase statistical power and generalizability. - The demographic characteristics provided - race, marital status, income, education - do not reflect the diversity of the population. A more diverse sample would improve external validity. - No information is given about how participants were recruited or selected. Details on the sampling method and inclusion/exclusion criteria are needed to evaluate potential selection biases. - No measures or variables are described. It's unclear what data was collected from participants or how constructs were operationalized and assessed.

(2) Treatments for BPD include psychotherapies like dialectical behavior therapy and medications for affective dysregulation, impulsivity, or psychotic features. (3) While many BPD patients achieve remission of symptoms over time, some studies find poor psychosocial functioning is a long-term predictor of suicide risk, indicating a need for social/vocational rehabilitation.

Alero OkundiaDiscussion Week 2COLLAPSEBeck Depression Inve.docx

simonlbentley59018

Alero Okundia Discussion Week 2 COLLAPSE Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a psychological measure that is utilized to assess depression among clients over the age of 12. The tool is in the form of a questionnaire comprises of 21 questions. the BDI was developed in 1961. It has been revised several times, with the most recent version, BDI-II published in 1996, it is a self-reporting inventory (Smarr, 2019). Therefore, the answers to the 21 questions are provided by the client rather than being observed by the provider. The development of BDI was established on the concept that an individual’s cognition leads to depression. According to this model, intrusive cognition can sustain a state of depression. For instance, a student who has negative thoughts about her appearance may end up depressed over issues such as weight, height, and appearance. The BDI comprises 21, each representing various items (Smarr, 2019). These items are grouped into two major components. First is the somatic or physical component, which refers to physicals factors that depict the state of depression; examples include lack of appetite, tiredness and fatigue and changes in sleeping patterns (Smarr, 2019). Secondly the affective component. These refer to emotional aspects that describe the presence of a depression state. The affective components include pessimism, feelings of guilt, self-loathing and indecisiveness. These items are rated on a scale of 0 to 3 (Reis, et al., 2019). An item that represents a severe case of depression is given a score of 3 while cases that depict minimal evidence of depression are provided a score of 0. Mental health providers and researchers mainly use BDI. The instrument is mainly useful in the clinical setting. Professional therapists utilize the BDI as a measurement for diagnosing depression (Smarr, 2019). BDI is also popular in the research field and widely used by scientists who study depression. The device is also used in academia and workplaces to evaluate employees and students. In these settings, the BDI is administered by counselors and other paraprofessionals in the medical field to diagnose depression (Reis et al, 2019). The BDI measure is easily administered; however, a qualified provider is needed to interpret the outcome of the test, especially in items concerning self-harm and helplessness. Clients who are diagnosed with depression will be referred to a licensed mental health provider for treatment and therapy. According to (Reis, et al. 2019), BDI has excellent psychometric properties as it has demonstrated high internal consistency, high validity, excellent construct, and test-retest reliability. However, the BDI system has limitations. The possibility of getting exaggerated results is one of the limitations that are associated with the BDI tool. Since the BDI measure is a self-inventory, there is a possibility of the client being evaluated, will give inaccurate information. The second limitation the measures use ph.

This study examined factors related to posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in pediatric cancer patients and their caregivers. The researchers analyzed surveys from 31 patient-caregiver dyads. They found that patient-reported PTSS was predicted by self-reported worry, while caregiver-reported patient PTSS was predicted by the caregiver's perception of the patient's physical appearance. Additionally, caregiver-reported caregiver PTSS was predicted by the caregiver's report of the patient's psychosocial functioning. The results suggest discrepancies between how patients and caregivers view factors related to PTSS.

References Running head: RESEARCH ARTICLES 1 RESEARCH ARTICLES 2 Research Articles In every human’s life circle, there probably has come a time or a situation in which, they have experienced pain. This might consist of migraines, muscle aches, broken bone, post-surgical pain., and honestly, a slew of other medical reasons. Such pain can manifest as either acute or chronic. When the pain is mild, an over-the counter pain reliever can be prescribed (Skidmore-Roth, 2018). However, acute or chronic pains might be severe enough to prompt a physician to recommend and prescribe a stronger pain reliever known as opioids (Skidmore-Roth, 2018). Opioids are a class of medication known as narcotics and are both prescription and illicit in nature (Skidmore-Roth, 2018). Unfortunately, because the prescription strength is a controlled class II narcotic, they have the potential to become habit forming when misused, as noted by the ever-increasing crisis of opioid abuse and addiction (Skidmore-Roth, 2018). This paper, therefore, seeks to present investigative findings regarding whether or not the pharmacological maintenance treatment approach truly has the possibility of reducing the occurrence of addiction, but also in the ...

Clinical issue of interest Silifat Jones-ibrahim Walden university Clinical issue of interest Psychiatric interventions focus on effectively engaging patients through improving the level of interaction. Integration of evidence based practices provide a better environment where it is possible to outline specific measures that can be used to handle different patients conditions. There is need to create a strong outline which help define important changes which help maintain an improved level of focus. Psychiatric services provide a detailed understanding on specific concepts which help create a better emphasis on important concepts which can help improve individual physical and psychological wellbeing. Violent behavior is associated with different factors including lack of therapeutic interventions as well as groups. Therefore the research aims at determining whether lack of therapeutic activities and presence of groups increase violent behavior over a two week period. Formulation of picot question The Picot question focused on understanding the key interventions that can help improve inpatient psychiatric hospitals because of the increasing violent behavior among patients. Aggressive behaviour in patients with psychiatric disorders has many possible causes. Different psychiatric patients have different mental and psychological concerns which require a strong emphasis on specific aspects which can help improve quality of care. Thus the research sought to understand the causes of violent behavior where two aspects were investigated within a two week period. Formulation of picot question Therapeutic activities have been associated with different factors which provide a detailed emphasis important changes which help outline a strong emphasis on violent behavior among psychiatric patients. Therefore understanding the effect of therapeutic activities and or group will provide a detailed focus on the development of psychiatric patients behavioral development. The picot question development focused on these factors which help outline specific aspects which help understand psychiatric patients behavior. Research databases Choosing database provide a detailed emphasis on important changes which help outline a strong understanding on the underlying research literature based on the picot question.

Respond to posts of two peers in this discussion. As part of your reply, comment on the ways in which your peer's annotated entries were effective in summarizing the studies for you, and ways in which the annotated entries could be more effective.. You need to respond about each peers posting which contains two articles. Laurie Leitch, M., Vanslyke, J., & Allen, M. (2009). Somatic experiencing treatment with social service workers following hurricanes katrina and rita. Social Work, 54(1), 9-18. Laurie Leitch, PhD, is the research director for the Foundation of Human Enrinchment and a coufounder of the Trauma Research Institute. Jan Vanslyke, PhD, and Marisa Allen, ABD, are senior evaluation specialists at Reid and Associates. The purpose of this study was to determine if the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Resiliency Model (SE/TRM) could "reduce the post disaster symptoms of social service workers“ who deliver services to individuals and communities after a disaster. The researchers conducted a quantitative study of 142 social service workers who provided service after huricanes Katrina and Rita in New Orleans. The study was conducted on a nonrandom sample of 142 social service workers. 91 participants received SE/TRM and they were compared with 51 workers who did not receive SE/TRM and were matched via propensity score matching. They hypothesis was that the use of SE/TRM could reduce the symptoms of disaster relief workers post disaster. Data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in relation to post disaster relief. The group that received SE/TRM showed significantly lower PTSD symptoms and psychological distress and higher levels of resiliency. The authors noted that all of the participants in this study were employed, which sets them apart from many disaster survivors as well as the study was not a „randomized control study“. Further research is needed to further study the effectiveness of SE/TRM in the field of disaster treatment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 15 "new or novel interventions“ that are being utilizef for the treatment of PTSD. This work was funded by the Department of Veterans‘ Affaris and National Health and Medical Research Council Programs. The study eliminated appraoches that did not offer "moderate quality evidence from randomized controlled trials“ by a team of 5 Trauma Experts. To be included, studies also required adults over 18 years of age, 70% of the sample majority were diagnosed with PTSD and outcome data were reported for severity of symptoms and diagnosis. The approaches that fulfilled this critera are emotional freedom technique, yoga, mantra-based meditation and ac.

Assignment: Read a selection of your colleagues' responses. Respond to at least two of your colleagues by comparing your assessment tool to theirs. APA Format with at least two references in each responses no more than five years old Response Post #1 Main Post - Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale Week 2 Discussion - Assessment and Diagnosis in Psychotherapy Main Post Assessment Tools It is paramount as health care professionals to be skillful in assessing clients to be able to diagnose, plan, and produce optimal care yielding full or partial recovery of the clients. Various assessment and measuring tools are available for mental health providers to help measure illness, diagnose clients, and measure a client’s response to treatment that will help supplement data obtained from the clinical interview. Though assessments usually span the entire treatment cycle, a thoughtfully constructed initial intake meeting can be a great tool to establish and reinforce the required therapeutic alliances between client and therapist, provide reassurance, ease anxiety, and enhance information gathering process required for an accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment plan (Wheeler, 2014). Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) was developed in the sixties. It is still one of the most popular behavioral rating scales/instruments use today by clinicians to quickly gather information about the possible presence and severity of various psychiatric symptoms and to assess changes in symptoms in response to medications (Zanello et al., 2013). Originally, the BPRS was a 16-item scale, it was later extended to the standard 18-item version and currently expanded to a 24-item scale to measure additional aspects of schizophrenia symptoms thereby increasing its sensitivity to psychotic and affective disorders and to be used for patients living in the community (Shafer et al., 2017). The 18-item BPRS assess the following symptoms: somatic concern, anxiety, emotional withdrawal, conceptual disorganization, guilt feelings, tension, mannerisms and posturing, grandiosity, depressive mood, hostility, suspiciousness, hallucinatory behavior, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, blunted affect, excitement, and disorientation (Yee et al., 2017). The manual of administration of the 24-item BPRS offers a more detailed semi-structured interview with more probe questions for each symptom, and providing supplementary rules for the rating (e.g., delusions) including a well-defined anchor point (Zanello et al., 2013). The recent analysis of the 24-item BPRS produced a four-factor solution: Negative Symptoms, Positive Symptoms, Manic-hostility, and Anxiety–Depression (Zanello et al., 2013). The current BPRS is rated on a seven-point Likert-type scale. A rating of “1” indicates the absence of symptoms, ratings of “2–3” indicate “very mild” to “mild” symptoms that are considered to have nonpathological inte.
