This document discusses helping families recover from childhood trauma and abuse. It proposes several paths to recovery, such as parenting classes, psychoeducational support groups for parents and children, and providing online resources for families. The goals are to teach parenting skills, connect families to services, and lower the risk of continued abuse. Effective interventions teach emotional regulation, as trauma disrupts a child's brain development and ability to cope with stressors. Childhood abuse has lifelong negative consequences, so breaking the cycle of abuse is important for the health and development of victims.

solution oriented psychotherapy for clinical psychologistsnastaran31
The document describes several problem-solving techniques used in clinical psychology to help clients address mental health challenges. It explains the 5-step problem-solving process as identifying the problem, generating solutions, evaluating options, implementing a solution, and evaluating outcomes. Examples show how this process can be applied to managing anxiety, overcoming insomnia, and dealing with relationship stress. Cost-benefit analysis and SWOT analysis are also discussed as methods to systematically evaluate treatment approaches or life situations.
The document outlines the key components of the counseling process, including relationship building, assessment, goal setting, intervention, termination, and follow-up. Relationship building establishes trust and empathy between counselor and client. Assessment involves obtaining information about the client's problems, strengths, and needs. Goal setting defines desired outcomes to direct the counseling process. A variety of intervention techniques are used depending on the theoretical approach. Termination occurs when goals are met, and follow-up ensures continued progress. The counseling process provides a framework to explore issues and facilitate healthy changes for the client.
The document outlines steps for using proven sales strategies to build training commitment. It discusses qualifying prospects by understanding their needs, envisioning desired outcomes to create compelling visions, proposing steps to attain outcomes, persuading by demonstrating how the proposal will achieve outcomes, responding to objections by returning to the vision, and closing by securing ongoing commitments. An example is provided of envisioning a perfect call center workplace and proposing steps to achieve that vision, with suggestions for responding to potential objections by tying them back to the desired outcomes.

Preparing for a Service Planning Conference or Disposition Planning Meeting
Introduction
After you have completed your assessment on each new client and done a tentative plan with the person, your agency might hold a meeting in which more specific plans are made for the individual’s care or services. In some agencies this is done informally. In small agencies, particularly, individual case managers may make those decisions by themselves, referring people to other services in systems that will have more formal case management.
In some places, children who come into the system are presented by their case manager to a “children’s panel” consisting of child psychologists, child psychiatrists, social workers, pediatricians, and others who serve children. Many other places use panels of professionals for creating plans for clients from different populations; in this situation, the case manager presents the case to representatives of any number of agencies serving or specializing in that population. Together the group decides what combination of services would best suit people in their current situation and gives a diagnosis, if appropriate.
If a person has both a substance abuse (SA) problem and a mental health problem and the agencies that address these two problems are not combined, representatives from each of the agencies working with the client should meet together to decide what should be done. In the past a client could be turned down for mental health services because he was drinking and turned down for SA services because he was suicidal. That kind of “turf” exclusion at the expense of the client is no longer tolerated by funding sources that expect people to be served.
In these meetings, decisions regarding the service an individual will receive are made with others who have experience and come, perhaps, from different disciplines. When the meeting is over, a formal plan will be drawn up.
What You Will Need to Bring to the Meeting
You should consider bringing three items to these planning meetings.
1. Tentative service plan:You have already developed a tentative service plan with the individual. Bring this tentative plan to the service planning conference.
2. Human service directory:As you work within the same social service system, you will come to know, without consulting a directory, which agencies are reliable and which services are used most often by your agency when referring people. As you begin your career, you need to know what human service organizations are available in your community. If there is a directory, bring that to the meeting so that you can work with your peers to find the best placement for your client. A good place to look is the local phone book, where social services are usually listed together. You might copy these pages and bring them to the meeting.
3. DSM Handbook:The DSM is a large volume containing considerable information. If you are working in an area that is likely to use the DSM to give diagnoses, you m.

Jackie Cawley, DO
Senior Medical Director, MaineHealth
Dear Colleagues:
MaineHealth’s aim to provide the best possible care for our patients and communities requires effective
health communication. As our population ages and diversifies, and as medicine and self-care grow ever
more complex, the ways in which we communicate become even more important. This guide is a tool
for all MaineHealth member and affiliate organizations to communicate clearly and consistently with
patients and families.
Supports our goals. Effective communication to our patients and community members supports
MaineHealth goals to:
■ Promote patient understanding and ability to adhere to prevention, treatment and care plans
■ Provide safe, effective, quality care
■ Streamline care
■ Meet new Joint Commission accreditation guidelines
Reflects evidence and best practice. The Checklist to Develop and Evaluate Patient Education
Materials and the guidelines that follow are evidence-based and reflect best practice. Many of our
patients have limited literacy and health literacy skills. They require easy-to-understand information.
All adults, when sick or stressed, need clear, accessible information. And almost all adults prefer it.
No one wants to struggle to grasp instructions critical to his or her well-being.
Addresses national priorities. These guidelines also reflect recommendations of national medical,
public health, research and policy groups including the Institute of Medicine, the American Medical
Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality, and The Joint Commission.
Guidelines are only as effective as their implementation. We will help you learn how to use them.
MaineHealth Learning Resource Center staff provide training and consulting in developing patient-
friendly print materials. Contact them for help with your next patient materials project.
Thank you for your leadership and commitment to providing the best patient care possible and for
helping to implement this guide in your organization.

Being clear about “why we are here” launches the process of determining the objectives and goals we want to achieve.
— Michele V. Sare and LeAnn Ogilvie, Strategic Planning for Nurses: Change Management in Health Care
In Week 2, you examined mission and vision as the underpinning for strategic planning. As the quote above suggests, drawing from a sound mission and vision allows the strategic planning process to proceed with the articulation of the organization’s philosophy and development of goals and objectives.
This week, you continue to examine the strategic planning process, with a focus on the development of a philosophy statement, goals, and objectives for an organization.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
· Analyze the process of developing philosophy statements
· Analyze the significance of and distinctions between organizational goals and objectives
· Evaluate organizational philosophy statements
· Evaluate organizational goals and objectives

This document provides an overview of Module 1 of a workplace skills program focused on understanding oneself. The module aims to help participants deepen their understanding of their personal identity, values, strengths, and how they respond to change. It includes various self-reflection exercises where participants describe themselves, identify their values, discuss important life experiences and people, examine how they meet basic psychological needs, and consider how they have responded to past changes. The document outlines the module's introduction, table of contents, and descriptions of the various self-assessment activities and discussions included in the program.
This document is from a book about developing single-minded focus. It discusses the importance of focus and committing to the process of improving focus. Focus helps with goal clarity, efficiency, and avoiding distractions. To develop focus, it is important to first take a step back to understand the big picture before narrowing in on specific, smaller steps. Committing to the process is also key, as developing focus takes gradual improvement over time rather than instant perfection. The document provides tips for making the process simple and enjoyable through lowering expectations and celebrating small, measurable changes.

One way to improve your verbal communication is to own your thoughts.docxjuliennehar
One way to improve your verbal communication is to own your thoughts and feelings.
You-language
is a way of speaking that projects responsibility onto another person and tends to be judgmental.
I-language
, on the other hand, is a way of speaking that owns responsibility and is descriptive rather than judgmental. Study the following example:
You-language statement
I-language statement
"You make me so mad!"
"I feel very angry when you interrupt me when I'm telling a story."
Complete the following two parts of your written assignment in one Word document. First, show your skill at translating You-language messages into I-language messages. Secondly, apply this skill to your own communication.
Part 1
Translate the following
You-language
statements into
I-language
messages.
Sentences to be translated:
You are so selfish.
You don't understand a word I'm saying.
You are too nosy; mind your own business.
You totally humiliated me in front of our friends.
You never help me around the house.
Part 2
Think of a You-language statement that you find yourself using when you communicate with a friend, family member, spouse, or romantic partner. Compose a paragraph that explains the situation in which you have used this You-language message. Consider how you would translate this You-language statement into an I-language message.

One paragraph:
Has your family experienced significant upward or downward mobility over the past three or four generations? How do you think your values and behavior might differ had you experienced the opposite pattern of mobility? How might it have been different had your family been of a different ethnic or racial origin?
One para:
One of the more interesting topics of study is the area of deviance and social control. Choose a form of deviance with which you are familiar (not necessarily something you’ve done, but something someone you know did) and discuss why society views that behavior as deviant and whether perceptions of that behavior have changed over time. Explain which theory of deviance you think works best for understanding the deviant behavior you’ve chosen to discuss

Chapter 2 review the problem management and opportunity-developmesodhi3
This document outlines exercises from a counseling textbook that are intended to help students understand and apply the problem-management process. The process involves several stages: identifying problems or opportunities, getting feedback, prioritizing issues, imagining possibilities, setting goals, developing strategies, taking action, and implementing plans. Students are asked to interview others about their views of counseling, explain counseling to strangers and clients, evaluate their own skills in each stage, and identify areas for improvement. The overall goal is for students to master the problem-management process and apply it to helping clients as well as themselves.
The document discusses habits, skills, and developing effectiveness through perpetual cycles and performance checklists. It states that habits allow one to reinvent themselves and master their abilities. Developing the right habits forms successful people, while skills take practice to sharpen and improve results over time. Perpetual cycles and checklists help establish new habits and skills by making them reoccur regularly and evaluating performance.

Preparing for a Service Planning Conference or Disposition Plannin.docxChantellPantoja184
Preparing for a Service Planning Conference or Disposition Planning Meeting
Introduction
After you have completed your assessment on each new client and done a tentative plan with the person, your agency might hold a meeting in which more specific plans are made for the individual’s care or services. In some agencies this is done informally. In small agencies, particularly, individual case managers may make those decisions by themselves, referring people to other services in systems that will have more formal case management.
In some places, children who come into the system are presented by their case manager to a “children’s panel” consisting of child psychologists, child psychiatrists, social workers, pediatricians, and others who serve children. Many other places use panels of professionals for creating plans for clients from different populations; in this situation, the case manager presents the case to representatives of any number of agencies serving or specializing in that population. Together the group decides what combination of services would best suit people in their current situation and gives a diagnosis, if appropriate.
If a person has both a substance abuse (SA) problem and a mental health problem and the agencies that address these two problems are not combined, representatives from each of the agencies working with the client should meet together to decide what should be done. In the past a client could be turned down for mental health services because he was drinking and turned down for SA services because he was suicidal. That kind of “turf” exclusion at the expense of the client is no longer tolerated by funding sources that expect people to be served.
In these meetings, decisions regarding the service an individual will receive are made with others who have experience and come, perhaps, from different disciplines. When the meeting is over, a formal plan will be drawn up.
What You Will Need to Bring to the Meeting
You should consider bringing three items to these planning meetings.
1. Tentative service plan:You have already developed a tentative service plan with the individual. Bring this tentative plan to the service planning conference.
2. Human service directory:As you work within the same social service system, you will come to know, without consulting a directory, which agencies are reliable and which services are used most often by your agency when referring people. As you begin your career, you need to know what human service organizations are available in your community. If there is a directory, bring that to the meeting so that you can work with your peers to find the best placement for your client. A good place to look is the local phone book, where social services are usually listed together. You might copy these pages and bring them to the meeting.
3. DSM Handbook:The DSM is a large volume containing considerable information. If you are working in an area that is likely to use the DSM to give diagnoses, you m.

Senior Medical Director, MaineHealth
Dear Colleagues:
MaineHealth’s aim to provide the best possible care for our patients and communities requires effective
health communication. As our population ages and diversifies, and as medicine and self-care grow ever
more complex, the ways in which we communicate become even more important. This guide is a tool
for all MaineHealth member and affiliate organizations to communicate clearly and consistently with
patients and families.
Supports our goals. Effective communication to our patients and community members supports
MaineHealth goals to:
■ Promote patient understanding and ability to adhere to prevention, treatment and care plans
■ Provide safe, effective, quality care
■ Streamline care
■ Meet new Joint Commission accreditation guidelines
Reflects evidence and best practice. The Checklist to Develop and Evaluate Patient Education
Materials and the guidelines that follow are evidence-based and reflect best practice. Many of our
patients have limited literacy and health literacy skills. They require easy-to-understand information.
All adults, when sick or stressed, need clear, accessible information. And almost all adults prefer it.
No one wants to struggle to grasp instructions critical to his or her well-being.
Addresses national priorities. These guidelines also reflect recommendations of national medical,
public health, research and policy groups including the Institute of Medicine, the American Medical
Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality, and The Joint Commission.
Guidelines are only as effective as their implementation. We will help you learn how to use them.
MaineHealth Learning Resource Center staff provide training and consulting in developing patient-
friendly print materials. Contact them for help with your next patient materials project.
Thank you for your leadership and commitment to providing the best patient care possible and for
helping to implement this guide in your organization.

Week 3: Philosophy, Goals, and Objectives
Being clear about “why we are here” launches the process of determining the objectives and goals we want to achieve.
— Michele V. Sare and LeAnn Ogilvie, Strategic Planning for Nurses: Change Management in Health Care
In Week 2, you examined mission and vision as the underpinning for strategic planning. As the quote above suggests, drawing from a sound mission and vision allows the strategic planning process to proceed with the articulation of the organization’s philosophy and development of goals and objectives.
This week, you continue to examine the strategic planning process, with a focus on the development of a philosophy statement, goals, and objectives for an organization.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
· Analyze the process of developing philosophy statements
· Analyze the significance of and distinctions between organizational goals and objectives
· Evaluate organizational philosophy statements
· Evaluate organizational goals and objectives

This document provides an overview of Module 1 of a workplace skills program focused on understanding oneself. The module aims to help participants deepen their understanding of their personal identity, values, strengths, and how they respond to change. It includes various self-reflection exercises where participants describe themselves, identify their values, discuss important life experiences and people, examine how they meet basic psychological needs, and consider how they have responded to past changes. The document outlines the module's introduction, table of contents, and descriptions of the various self-assessment activities and discussions included in the program.
This document is from a book about developing single-minded focus. It discusses the importance of focus and committing to the process of improving focus. Focus helps with goal clarity, efficiency, and avoiding distractions. To develop focus, it is important to first take a step back to understand the big picture before narrowing in on specific, smaller steps. Committing to the process is also key, as developing focus takes gradual improvement over time rather than instant perfection. The document provides tips for making the process simple and enjoyable through lowering expectations and celebrating small, measurable changes.

One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he wa.docxjuliennehar
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.
Review the following:
The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:
Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations.
On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

One of the most difficult components of effective .docxjuliennehar
One of the most difficult components of effective management and leadership is uncertainty. Uncertainty exists everywhere in an organization. Each of the four functions of
management (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling) is affected by uncertainties that lie within an organization and its operations. However, many uncertainties that affect an
organization are external to the organization itself. These cannot always be controlled, but they must be planned for when possible, and adapted to when planning is not possible.
This final week contains a culmination of the concepts introduced throughout the course and is designed to help you think about future challenges involved in management.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

5. product to develop for the market (Clow & James, 2014).
I would also do data analysis and research to determine our
target market. I would look at the clientele we receive and
identify a common characteristic between them. I would then
ensure that our marketing campaigns were more directed to the
individuals who fell in that bracket. Having a more directed
marketing campaign would ensure that the company used fewer
resources on marketing and would increase sales from
marketing activities (Clow & James, 2014).
I would also analyze the customer feedback and experience after
using the products. This would include the frequency and types
of complaints received, the suggestions given and the number of
customers who returned after purchasing our product. I would
have then relayed this information to the quality control
department to give them pointers on the areas of improvement
needed for the product (Zikmund & Babin, 2007). This would
have greatly helped to increase the sales of the company and
would have made me a valuable asset to the company. The
bottom line is, data analysis and research would have improved
my performance.

Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression Disorder

Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression Disorder
Depression is a mental disorder that has both social and
health effects to individuals worldwide. Reports from the WHO
suggest that depressive disorders form a significant percentage
of the total number of deaths reported in both developed and
developing countries. Depressive disorders are also a major
cause of disability (U.S. Department of Health, 2017).
Depression is treatable. The commonly used treatments of
depression include psychotherapy and drugs. Studies suggest
that there are various effective strategies available for use to
improve the depression symptoms such as the integration
between specialist and primary health care. The severity of
depression varies from patient to patient. DSM-5 is the
commonly used diagnostic criteria used to differentiate
depressive disorders from sadness (Gore & Widiger, 2013). The
criterion was developed in the United States and has been used
extensively in psychiatric research. The model stipulates the
threshold that the signs and symptoms of depression must meet
to justify a diagnosis. This research analyzes Eliza Doolittle’s
psychosocial assessment and treatment plan.
Intake
Eliza Doolittle is an eighteen years old girl. Her residence at the
time of the visit was a school dormitory where she lived with
her friends. Eliza stated the reason for her visit was due to
being sent home from school. The depressive symptoms that
Eliza experienced were anxiety or stress and low self-esteem.
Eliza is the only child in her family. Her father is Burt, and her
mothers name is Joan. She denied being on any medication for
mental health at this time. She also added that she had not
encountered any stressful experiences in her life.
Eliza completed the DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting
Symptom Measure (CCM-1) for adults, which is a questionnaire
with the various depressive symptoms. This questionnaire
enables the healthcare professional to identify the depressive
10. symptoms that Eliza might have had in the last two weeks
before her visit. According to the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria,
Eliza must have experienced at least five symptoms of
depression in the same two weeks period. Eliza must have at
least one of the following symptoms to warrant a diagnosis.
These include: loss of pleasure in usual activities, loss of self-
worth or suicidal, fatigue, weight loss, tiredness, inability to
think correctly, loss of energy and loss of appetite.
Biopsychosocial Assessment
Eliza was identified as a Caucasian female who was a first-year
college student studying engineering. Eliza’s parents live in a
town, which is about two hours away from the health center.
Eliza was sent to counseling because she was found with
alcohol in the dormitory although she claimed she was not
intoxicated. However, she said that she was drunk. Eliza said
that she had been experiencing stress in school since things in
college were not easy as they were in high school. She added
that study requirements have been difficult in college. Eliza
stated that making friends had been difficult for her since her
high school friends either went to different colleges or pursued
other things.
Eliza admitted that she had used substances such as alcohol, and
marijuana, although she said that she has never overused any of
the substances. The only type of addiction that Eliza has was
online gaming. Besides, she denied having been previously
hospitalized due to mental illness. Eliza has had traumatic
experiences, although she stated that she was teased in high
school. Eliza’s social relationships were questionable because
she felt that her friends were misusing her on many occasions.
However, she had a good relationship with her parents despite
there being some strains between the parents. Her family rarely
goes to church; therefore, she is not strictly spiritually aligned.
Eliza denied having had suicidal or homicidal intentions.
Assessment of Eliza’s symptoms using the DSM-5 diagnostic
criteria showed that Eliza had experienced five depressive
symptoms in the last two weeks prior to her visit to counseling.
11. The symptoms included little pleasure or interest in doing
normal activities, anxiety, slight sleeping problems, lack of
identity, and little enjoyment of social activities. The CCM-1
results show that Eliza has slight symptoms of depression,
which if not managed, can easily become more severe if the
causes are not well managed. According to the DSM-5
diagnostic criteria, the results suggest that Eliza has mild
depression because she had experienced at least one diagnostic
symptom that is a loss of pleasure in usual activities.
The initial treatment goals for Eliza would be directed towards
improving the depressive symptoms that Eliza has experienced.
The major depressive symptoms in Eliza’s life are the loss of
interest in normal activities as well as anxiety. There is no
standard treatment for mild depression. However, Eliza has
several options available for her treatment. First, the symptoms
of mild treatment can go away without being treated. The
physician can allow Eliza to go and come back after two weeks
to check whether the situation will have improved (Schwitzer &
Rubin, 2014). This method is commonly referred to as watchful
waiting. Secondly, the physician can advise Eliza to start doing
exercises. Exercise has been identified as one of the effective
methods of dealing with mild depression (Schwitzer & Rubin,
2014). The physician can decide to involve Eliza in a group
class where they will be doing exercises together. Third, self-
help is a method of treating mild depression where Eliza would
think about her feelings by talking to a psychological therapist
or a friend.
Treatment Planning
APA offers a number of measures that help in the
assessment of patients. The assessment measures should be
administered form the first interview with the patient to help
monitor the progress of the treatment (Weiner & Greene, 2017).
DSM-5 Level 2 of assessing depression are used to measure the
12. progress that Eliza would be taking during treatment. Eliza
would require CCM-2 to measure her level of anxiety in the
first seven days of treatment (Weiner & Greene, 2017). Eliza
would be required to fill the CCM-2 questionnaire, which
contains eight items whereby she would be needed to rate the
severity of the depression in the last seven days. The physician
then interprets the data and determines the level of depression
of Eliza.
Apart from the assessment provided by APA, Eliza can
use online self-assessment tests to monitor her progress,
especially with the issue of anxiety. Anxiety was the major
problem that Eliza highlighted as a point of concern. She used
to avoid anxious situations to manage her condition (Bot et al.,
2017). Online assessments include questions similar to those of
other assessments tests. The patient is required to give genuine
information to be able to give genuine results. This process is
helpful, especially if the patient has to travel for a long distance
to see the physician.
The findings of the assessment should be conveyed to
Eliza in her native language. Diagnostic information should be
provided in a language that Eliza understands best. The
physician should maintain clear communication with Eliza
(Gilligan et al., 2018). Clear and improved communication
reduces the chances of adverse events by managing the anxiety
of the patient. Although there is no standard way of
communicating assessment results to Eliza or her family, the
physician should be keen to avoid chaos. Communication failure
can be disastrous (Gilligan et al., 2018). The physician should
be able to tell the patient the situation is under control.
The objective of the physician is to guide the patient
through the journey to a healthier state. The outcomes of the
treatment are dependent on not only the prescription of the
physician but also on Eliza’s willingness the get well and
thereby follow the instructions. If the patient misses
appointments or drops-out of the psychological therapies, it may
be difficult for the physician to deliver the agreed-upon
13. outcomes. However, patient follow-up helps keep the patient on
track. Strategies, measures, and outcomes are achievable when
the relationship between the Eliza and the clinician is
maintained.
Referral
Referrals are necessary when the clinician cannot offer
the services needed by Eliza. The clinician can request the help
of other professionals who can assist in the treatment process
(Russomagno & Waldrop, 2019). If the needs of the client are
outside the expertise of the clinician, a referral would be made.
Examples of referrals in mental illnesses include psychological
therapists, psychiatrists, family therapists, and mental health
nurse. The referrals would be necessary for Eliza to help her
understand her feelings. Therapists would allow her to cope
with the symptoms of depression.
The choice of referrals depends on the inherent
condition that requires the expertize of other professionals.
Eliza would require a psychological therapist who would enable
her to understand the feelings that are depressing her
(Russomagno & Waldrop, 2019). One can clearly see that Eliza
feels that she is alright and doesn’t need any mental care.
However, since the DSM-5 criteria showed that her experiences
meet the criteria, it is necessary for her to get treatment. For
this reason, a psychological therapist would help her understand
the feelings and situations that make her depressed.
Conclusion
Despite the overwhelming evidence on the prevalence of
depression around the world, there are just a few studies that
provide information on its treatment. Furthermore, treatment of
mild depression is not sufficiently researched, although some
studies propose various methods. However, there is one
common feature in all depressive disorders; that is, the patient
follows up. The therapeutic approach that was highlighted as a
possible treatment plan requires the clinician to constantly
follow-up the progress of Eliza. The study also pointed out the
14. importance of referrals in the treatment of depression.
