Does culture affect the diagnosis of schezoprenia.pp
Schizophrenia is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech. Cultural factors can influence its diagnosis and treatment. Specifically, socio-cultural context moderates the relationship between family expressed emotions and clinical outcomes for schizophrenia patients. Additionally, culturally-adapted psychotherapy that respects client values and worldviews tends to be more effective. Several studies examined how cultural differences relate to self-concepts and functioning for schizophrenia patients.

ARGEC Case studies reminiscence therapy for older adults
Julie, a social work student, created a reminiscence group for older men at her internship site, the Athens Community Council on Aging. She noticed the men participated less in activities than women. Her research found men prefer goal-oriented programs. She structured weekly sessions around the historical train depot's topic. The men enjoyed sharing memories and mementos related to the weekly topics. Their stories deepened relationships by sharing personal experiences taking trains during times like World War II and segregation.
ARGEC: Reminiscence therapy for older adults
This document describes reminiscence therapy for older adults. It discusses how reminiscence involves recalling past experiences and can help integrate one's history.

Music Therapy in End of Life Care Literature Review
This document provides an overview of music therapy in end of life care based on literature. It discusses the history of music therapy beginning in hospice care in the 1970s. Goals of music therapy in end of life care include physical, emotional, and spiritual support for patients and bereavement support for families. Common music therapy interventions include songwriting, lyric analysis, improvisation, singing, instrument playing, and music listening, which are tailored to individual patient needs and goals. The overall aim of music therapy is to improve quality of life for patients and provide comfort during the dying process.

Music therapy is an effective treatment for depression that works by addressing outward behaviors and regulating mood. It involves using music to accomplish individualized therapeutic goals under the guidance of a credentialed music therapist. Research shows that music therapy improves observable behaviors for clients with major depressive disorder better than unguided coping strategies. Further study is needed to understand why music therapy is effective and to develop new treatment techniques.

Discussion 1:
Biopsychosocial Holistic Approach
The assessment and incorporation of a client’s spirituality has become increasingly common in the field of social work. While historically social workers were trained to avoid discussions centered on religion, we now know that spirituality encompasses many ways of believing. “The Society for Spirituality and Social Work is a network of social workers and other helping professionals dedicated to spiritually sensitive practice and education” (Society for Spirituality and Social Work, n.d.). Addressing a client’s spirituality allows for a biopsychosocial holistic approach that can aid in the process of understanding illness, disability, and end-of-life issues.
For this Discussion, review the Monod et al. (2010) article and locate one scholarly article addressing spirituality with the elderly.

Discussion 2: Life Review
While the use of reminiscing about one’s life may not seem a particularly therapeutic approach, the use of life reviews has been found to be correlated with life satisfaction (Haight, 1992) and positive mental health outcomes (Westerhof, Bohlmeijer, van Beljouw, & Pot, 2010). The spontaneous and informal sharing of one’s life story to provide younger generations insight into history is an age-old tradition that, according to Haber (2006), has diminished recently under the shadow of the technical age. In response, practitioners have “found” this tool in the therapeutic process. There have been several theories used to support the integration of this intervention. You will be asked to identify and assess a theory you believe b ...
Music Therapy and AseraCare
Music therapy can be used in hospice care to help patients manage pain and emotions. It aims to improve patients' physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being through interventions like music-assisted relaxation, familiar music to calm pain, songwriting to build legacy and express grief, and listening to shared music to reminisce and strengthen family bonds. Research shows music therapy can effectively help control pain levels and increase relaxation and comfort for hospice patients.
Musin & emotions
This document presents information on the psychological and emotional effects of music and its therapeutic potential. It discusses how music can help reduce stress and manage pain. It also discusses how listening to upbeat music can improve motivation during exercise. Additionally, it mentions that positive music can boost mood within two weeks and that classical and meditation music offer particular mood benefits. The conclusion summarizes that music can help reduce stress, manage pain, improve motivation, increase work performance, improve mood, enable better sleep, reduce depression symptoms, aid weight loss, and enhance memory.
Reflective side
This document discusses how literature can help with coping with mental and emotional stresses. It poses questions about how poetry can help with stress, grief, heartbreak, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, and age-related memory loss. Evidence suggests that reflective writing can help physicians expand their awareness and make sense of experiences. It allows students to express themselves metaphorically. Mindful attention through literature can help exclude thoughts of past problems and future obligations. Listening to and writing about literature can be an outlet, improve understanding of patient pain, and promote physician well-being through emotional equilibrium and self-healing. Humanities-based interventions can improve situational coping and self-awareness.

Music therapy
Music therapy involves using music to accomplish individualized goals such as reducing stress and improving mood. It began in the 1940s and uses four main methods - receptive listening, re-creative activities like singing, improvisation, and composition. Music therapy can have mental, physical, and emotional benefits such as lowering blood pressure, improving communication, and managing pain. It is an evidence-based therapy that is growing in importance for treating conditions like depression and anxiety.
Bibliotherapy.pptx
Bibliotherapy is a form of therapy that involves reading as part of the treatment process. It can be used for various mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and trauma. Reading materials are selected that are intended to help address a person's problems or symptoms. Research has found bibliotherapy can be an effective treatment for conditions like depression when used as part of a guided program with a mental health professional. It has also shown benefits for caregivers. Bibliotherapy can be delivered individually or in a group setting and the reading materials may include classical literature, psychology-based works, or self-help books.
Neurobiology of spirituality (mohandas 2008)
The document summarizes research on the neurobiology of spirituality. Studies using neuroimaging techniques like PET, MRI, and SPECT have found that spiritual practices like meditation are associated with increased activity in the prefrontal cortex and decreased activity in the parietal lobe. Meditation appears to begin by activating the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in focus and attention. Over time, meditation may lead to transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal regions also mediate preparedness for religious experiences and cognitive processing of such experiences. Neurochemical changes from meditation involve neurotransmitter systems like dopamine. Overall, the evidence suggests spiritual practices engage multiple brain regions and can produce physiological and neurochemical alterations.
South Asian American Mental Health
This document summarizes Abhi Dalal's presentation on South Asian American mental health. Some key points include:
- Cultural factors like collectivism and family dynamics can create barriers for South Asian Americans seeking mental health care.
- Mindfulness, gratitude, and compassion were presented as strategies for managing emotions and navigating cultural differences.
- Experiences like dating risks, controlling relationships, and balancing family responsibilities with individual needs were discussed in the context of mental health. The presentation aimed to start a dialogue around making mental health care more culturally relevant for South Asian Americans.
