Depression and Somatization Disorders
Hello Class,
Group 1 is assigned Depression and Somatization Disorders to further discuss. Failure to adjust and modify emotions cognitively while experiencing stress can ultimately present an outcome of exaggerated physiological and behavioral responses and amplify susceptibility to somatic disorders, such as somatization (Davoodi, et al., 2019). Somatization Disorder is the presentation of recurrent and multiple somatic complaints of several years duration for which medical attention has been sought but which do not derive from a specific physical disorder (Swartz, Blazer, & George, 2012).
Please respond to the following questions:
1. When caring for a patient with somatization disorder, what therapeutic interventions would you formulate (Allen, Woolfolk, Escobar, Gara, and Hamer, 2006)?
2. How would you evaluate the success of your interventions for a patient living with somatization?
Depression is an extremely serious mood disorder that effects how you think, feel, and act. Symptoms range from mild to severe including, feeling sad, loss of interest or pleasure, change in appetite, trouble sleeping or getting too much sleep, feeling worthless, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). To be diagnosed with depression, symptoms must last at least two weeks and present a change in level of functioning (National Institute of Men ...

Substance use Anxiety Group Curriculum
Southern New Hampshire University
Clinical Mental Health Counseling Department, COU660
Dr. Caroline P.
Rationale for the group
In Massachusetts, we have several groups for substance use both such as AA meetings and , NA meetings that are held in most area areasjust not a sufficient amount. Some. So me groups are also held at treatment centers by alumni which is a great thing because it will provide members with great responsibility skills. Some of the groups like psychoeducation and 12 steps meetings are mainly for those who are going through andchallenges and have a past with substance use. I plan to hold a group not only for those who have been through it but also withhave family members that are looking for resources and better understanding of the disease. The need for substance use group in the Boston, MassMassachusetts community is in high demand. Although Boston is a wide community where the rent can be high and have good paying jobs, many still struggle s with the everyday life stressors that can lead to excessive drinking. In my community I believe that the need for substance use group can benefit so many specifically those in the poverty area, because they are dealing with these issues every day. Also, due to therapy being frown upon in their environment and some lack the ability to seek professional help. Although some may have the need but will not attend due to therapy being frown upon in their environment. Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: Make sure you are revising for clarity. I know you said this was a draft, so keeping that In mind Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: Revise for clarity
The purpose of substance use group is to help individuals who are have dealing with anxiety and have an underlining issue like anxiety. Substance use clients with underlining issues like anxiety lack coping skills and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Evidence by, the lack of motivation, traumatic event, exposure to violence, withdrawal, and continuing alcohol or drug use. However, the misuse of alcohol not only can lead to neurological as well as anxiety. Several individuals who are actively using have an underlining issue that has cause them to use excessively rather its depression, bipolar, or anxiety. I will be focusing mainly on anxiety. Anxiety can be something that several deal with in silent or out loud, those who have been impacted by the disease either way many are not getting the help they deservemerit. Especially those who have been impacted with the disease For example, not they feeling at time they are not good enoughenough, the uncertainty of their job,; and will they have their job back; doubts about being accepted back into their familywill they have a family after.

2. History of the participant
I: Mr. Phineas tell what part of West/Central Africa you are from, Gender, Interaction with other people and Interaction with the healthcare system
R: I am from Zimbabwe; I am a male gender. I used to go to the hospital for my mental health, but I have not been there for some time now due to language barrier. I felt like people did not understand me.
I: What are the lived experience as a person with mental health disorders or knows someone who does?
R: It was very rough at the beginning. As I said before, I felt like people did not understand me and that was frustrating.
I: Any problems one can define as a culturally based stigma?
R: Yes, cultural stigma is huge. People are afraid to even say they have a mental illness. And when the providers start moving you around rom one counselor to another, it affected my pride.

The Case:
The sleepy woman with anxiety
This week’s discussion presents a case study involving a 44-year old woman with a chief complaint of anxiety beginning at age 15 years old. She has a long history of mental illness and continued therapies. The purpose of this discussion is to analyze her case history to determine medication and treatment effectiveness.
Client Questions
Question 1. Are you having feelings of harming yourself or harming someone else?
Rationale: This is a possibly uncomfortable yet important set of questions to ask each client. Primary care providers may be in a unique position to prevent suicide due to their frequent interactions with suicidal patients. Reviews suggest that among patients who committed suicide, 80 percent had contact with primary care clinicians within one year of their death, whereas only 25 to 30 percent of decedents had contact with psychiatric clinicians within the year of their death (Stene-Lars & Reneflot, 2017).
Question 2. What was happening in your life as a teenager when the anxiety started and you began to self-medicate?
Rationale: Per our report, this patient began suffering signs and symptoms of anxiety at 15-years old. Asking these types of questions we may gain insight into an underlying cause or triggering event. Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric disorders with onset in childhood, with prevalence estimates ranging from 10 to 30 percent. Nearly 37 percent of behaviorally inhibited preschool-age children had social anxiety disorder at age 15, compared with 15 percent of non- behaviorally inhibited children
.
Children with anxiety disorders are more likely to have persistent anxiety disorders into adulthood. (Rapee, 2014).
Question 3. What was happening in your life a year ago when these symptoms returned and became debilitating? Let’s discuss what the triggering events may have been.
Rationale: Self-discovery of triggering events may help the client to come to terms with the determinants of her anxiety and depression. Studies have shown that specific types of stressors were found to differentially predict increases in specific facets of anxiety sensitivity; health-related stressors predicted increases in disease-related concerns and fear of mental incapacitation, whereas stressors related to family discord predicted increases in fear of feeling unsteady, fear of mental incapacitation, and fear of having publicly observable symptoms of anxiety (McLaughlin & Hatzenbuehler, 2009).
Support System
The support system as reported by our client is her husband. She states he is supportive and has little to no contact with the family of origin. She has a few friends and a few outside interests. As PMHNP, discussing relationships with the client is one avenue to gain insight into anxiety patterns and coping mechanisms as seen by outside support. With the client’s permissio.

Hello Lovelyne
Great presentation; I really enjoy reading your presentation about your patient Joey which is very informative. Autism Spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with tenacious predicaments in social communication and interaction in addition with limited, continual model of behaviors. According to study by Fitzpatrick et al; indicated that aggression behavior are noted to be increased in individual with ASD than when compared with other neurodevelopmental impairments (2016). This aggressive behavioral issues has been indicated by studies to relate with obstructive consequences for children diagnosed with ASD and their care providers resulting in reduced quality of life, heightened stress levels and decreased accessibility of educational and social adaptation/acceptance. Studies indicated that establishing effective therapeutic and pharmacological intervention approach for treatment as well as preventing aggressive behavior is imperative for reaching to better outcomes for individual with ASD. The patient in this case presentation had history of ASD and endorses aggression and self-injuries behaviors which have been indicated by various studies to associated with ASD and other manifestation including hyperactive, impulsive, inattentive behavior, unusual mood or emotional reaction.
To answer your question “
Is Risperidone FDA approved for patients with Autism”
Based on various studies, Risperidone and aripiprazole are approved by FDA and recommended for treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar for adult and adolescent including children with Autism Spectrum disorder around age 5 to 16 years. The Risperidone an antipsychotic medication was recommended to treat the aggression, irritability and mood swings associated with ASD. According to study; Risperidone has been effecting in treating symptoms of aggression and irritability between the age of 5 and 6 years distinctly that is associated with ASD, however, there’s no FDA approved medication for treatment of core sign and symptoms of ASD (Alayouf et al, 2021). There have been several controversy surrounding the use of Risperidone in which several clinician trials conducted reported that the medication was effective for the agitation, aggression and irritability often observed in autism patient, but was less effective in treating the core symptoms of Autism and other argument including the undesirable side effects that are associated with the medication and most significant of which is weight gain from an increased appetite. Other several medication as well as off-label prescription has been indicated to be effective such as treatment with SSRIs, CNS stimulants, NMDA-receptor antagonists, and including other agents (LeClerc & Easley, 2015).

Contemporary Psychotherapy
Professor Cassandra Godzik
2. Introduction
According to the American Psychological Association
(2018), a group therapy is form of psychotherapy
involving one or more psychologists who lead a group of
roughly 5 to 15 patients.
Groups meet for an hour or two each week.
Many groups are designed to target a specific problem,
such as depression, obesity, panic disorder, social
anxiety, chronic pain or substance abuse.
Groups often help those who have experienced loss,
whether it be a spouse, a child or someone who died by
suicide.
3. Historical Perspective
Aristotle studied the effect on social
interactions on individuals.
Freud studied individual behaviors in groups
In 1905 Dr. Pratt held the first therapeutic
group for tuberculosis patients (APA, 2018).
Formal group therapy begin to take place
around first half of 20th century.
After World War II, physicians resolved to
conduct group therapy as most efficient was
to consult many patients with psychiatric
illness due to war exposure(Wheeler, 2014,
p. 407).
4. Key Figures
Joseph Moreno: psychopathology was the result of
massively internalized behavioral and emotional
control. For him, patients needed to practice the
release of their suppressed emotions (catharsis).
Moreno introduced the notion of psychodrama to
psychotherapy. Moreno was opposing Freud’s views of
psychotherapy, by focusing on the here and now,
rather than the unreachable past /psychoanalysis
(Wheeler, 2014, p. 407).
Wilfred Bion: Bion focused on the collective group
processes rather than individual (Wheeler, 2014,
p.408).
5. Key Figures (Continued)
Samuel Slavson: believed that when engaged in a group
tasks, participants could develop strong sense of
solidarity and common purpose, thus bringing out
aspects of their personality that either they were not
aware of or they rarely used (Wheeler, 2014, p. 408).
Irvin Yalom (1931, 86 years old): He was a pioneer in
existential psychotherapy, and his main idea was that
mental illness was associated with existential struggles.
Yalom introduced the 11 Therapeutic Factors of Group
Therapy (Wheeler, 2014, p 409).
6. Key Terms & Concepts
Instillation of hope: hope comes from the therapist
belief in therapeutic process, and group members as
the group progresses
Universality: This helps foster the idea that group
members are not alone in their walk.
Imparting Information: the goal is to empower client
by educating them on the destructive thought process
Altruism: individual group members benefit from
extending help to others.
The Corrective Recapitulation of the Primary Family
Group: The goal is to offer safe corrective
environment.
7. Key Terms & Concepts
(Continued)
Development of Socialization Techniques: Here group members
learn from each other.
Imitative Behavior: Coping skills are developed and reinforced
during this stage.
Interpersonal Learning: Group members learn from each other
based on interpersonal connectedness
Group Cohesiveness: Increase sense of belonging among all group
members
Catharsis: Group members are able to express deep emotional
feelings
Existential Factors: pertains to the fact over the course their
lives, human beings are doomed to cope with pain and other
existential realities
8. Group Therapy Stages
Orientation: members seek out
guidance and acceptance from group
leader
Storming: members are figuring out
their place within the group
Norming: trust is crucial at this stage
Performing: members accomplish
deeper work
Adjourning: termination of group
(Wheeler,2014, p. 419).
9. Assessment
According to Wheeler (2014), there are
many types of group therapy based on
purpose and function:
Psychoeducational groups
Support groups
Self-help groups
There are many diagnoses that may use
group therapy. Here is a small list:
Depression, Eating Disorder, Anxiety
Disorder, Panic Disorder, Grief and Loss,
Disruptive, Impulse Control Disorder
10. Treatment Approach,
Methods, & Techniques
Behavioral Approaches: including Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy, Contingency Management, Motivational
Enhancement Therapy and 12 Steps facilitation Therapy
Family Based Approaches: including Brief Strategic
Family Therapy, Family Behavioral Therapy, Functional
family Therapy and Multidimensional Family Therapy
Addiction Medication: Several medications have been
found to be effective in treating addiction to opioids,
alcohol, or nicotine in adults
Recovery Support Therapy: This is to ensure continued
therapy in the community after discharge

For this assignment, we will focus on Yalom theory of Group therapy.

I.e.: What symptoms or behaviors does the client or family have that would benefit from this type of therapy, and why?
Benefits of group therapy include ability to share common experience with peers. This has been associated with symptoms resolution in anxious and depressed patients (Wheeler, 2014). In addition, a group therapy gives client the opportunity to receive feedback from other group members.
According to the NIH (2018), there are many approaches to group therapy and each approach may be selected base on patient’s circumstances. For example for a depressed patient, a therapist may chose an exercise on self-awareness or on mindfulness.
This exercise is based on the key principle of activity monitoring in order to increase clients’ self-awareness and identify mood patterns in their daily routines (Hale & Richard Spates, 2015).
This is an excerpt of Yalom group therapy and it gives an idea of what a group therapy is all about. This video was assessed from: PsychotherpyNet

Choose studies that were particularly relevant to your therapy focus. Discuss how these studies provided supporting evidence for use of this type of therapy in practice
Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy, Fifth Edition 5th Edition by Irvin Yalom, would be a great book to read to learn more about group therapy.
