Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Family Settings Versus Individual Settings

 zero plagiarism

4 references

Whether used with individuals or families, the goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is to modify client behavior. Although CBT for families is similar to CBT for individuals, there are significant differences in their applications. As you develop treatment plans, it is important that you recognize these differences and how they may impact your therapeutic approach with families. For this Discussion, as you compare the use of CBT for families and individuals, consider challenges of applying this therapeutic approach to your own client families.

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Compare the use of cognitive behavioral therapy for families to cognitive behavioral therapy for individuals
  • Analyze challenges of using cognitive behavioral therapy for families
  • Recommend effective cognitive behavioral therapy strategies for families
To prepare:
  • Review the media, Johnson Family Session 3, in this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights provided on CBT in family therapy.
  • Reflect on your practicum experiences with CBT in family and individual settings.

 Post an explanation of how the use of CBT in families compares to CBT in individual settings. Provide specific examples from your own practicum experiences. Then, explain challenges counselors might encounter when using CBT in the family setting. Support your position with specific examples from this week’s media. 

Discussion Question 1

Child abuse and maltreatment is not limited to a particular age—it can occur in the infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age years. Choose one of the four age groups and outline the types of abuse most commonly seen among children of that age. Describe warning signs and physical and emotional assessment findings the nurse may see that could indicate child abuse. Discuss cultural variations of health practices that can be misidentified as child abuse. Describe the reporting mechanism in your state (FLORIDA) and nurse responsibilities related to the reporting of suspected child abuse.

And discuss what statistics say in relation to abuse give me 3 stats.

Evaluating evidence is an important tool to have when researching topics of interest. Two types of research methods are qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research is based more on words and perceptions of people and explains the “why”, “what” and “how” of research (McCusker & Gunaydin 2015). Quantitative research is based on numbers and explaining the data from results collected about research topics. 

     Evidence can be collected from a group to be used as a case-control study or evidence can be conducted with the highest quality from systematic reviews. Systematic reviews are the “utilisation of strict methodological guidelines for the literature search, study screening (as well as critical appraisal of eligible studies matching pre-defined criteria), data extraction, and coding” (Bertolaccini & Spaggiari, 2020). These reviews are considered to be the most reliable resource for evaluating evidence. These reviews also have a clear set of objectives and assess the validity of each piece of evidence. Systematic reviews look at the assessment of a topic as well as an evaluation of nursing issues. Case-control studies are used to compare and contrast groups and they “are used to study incidence, causes, and prognosis” (Mann, n.d). These types of studies can be used to determine disease and the importance of different variables of a group. A weakness in case-control studies is the chance of bias from sampling methods; therefore one of the sampling methods needs to be used. The main purpose is to determine an outcome from a problem. Both methods can be used to evaluate evidence depending on the topic or issue that is being studied. Systematic reviews have a low chance of bias whereas case control studies have a higher chance.

Topic Proposal and Problem Statement Paper

The purpose of this assignment is to develop a strong, working foundation for your final paper. You will identify a topic area and develop a problem- or issue-related topic within that area of interest. As you develop this specific topic, keep in mind that your eventual goal is to formulate and present a solution to the healthcare issue or problem you identify.

Your topic proposal should include the following items and address the following:

Describe the topic you wish to pursue. 

  • It may be somewhat broad at this point and it may imply a problem. Use the Additional Resources in your course materials to help you search for ideas.

Identify your purpose: Why are you interested in this topic? (Narrow your topic.)

  • Specifically explain what it is that fascinates you or draws you to this topic.
  • Clearly describe the topic’s relevance in the field today.
  • Identify a purpose for a paper on this topic: 
    • What might you accomplish in exploring this problem?
    • What is your intended goal?
      • To evoke change
      • To make new connections (new cause and effect)
      • To introduce a new theory, solution, or idea
    • Is this goal realistic?

Identify a problem within the topic and draft a problem statement. (It will likely evolve and be revised as you progress through your research.)

  • Identify a problem related to your topic and state it.
  • The problem statement should be specific and indicate the focus of your final paper.
    • Not too narrow, not too broad
    • Intellectually challenging (a simple solution is not apparent)
  • Who would benefit from a solution to this problem (who is the target population)?

Your paper should be 1–2 pages. Adhere to APA Style throughout.

Analyzing Parametric Statistics

You locate a quasi-experimental research study as possible evidence to support a practice change. You notice that the study aims to make a prediction that relates to correlation between study variables. The study sample size is large and normally distributed. Reflect upon this scenario to address the following.

· In your appraisal of the evidence, you note that an independent variable is not present and that a Spearman’s ranked correlation is used to analyze data. Is this the correct level of correlational analysis? Explain your rationale.

· Are association and correlational analysis equivalent in determining relationships between variables?

· Do these findings impact your decision about whether to use this evidence to inform practice change? Why or why not?

Select and evaluate a research article on an evidence-based practices that relates to nursing practice and health assessment.

 Assignment Description: Students will be required to select and evaluate a research article on evidenced-based practice that relates to nursing practice and health assessment by providing:  The link to the electronic source for the article.  A brief summary and critique of that article. Learning Objectives:  Describe and summarize the content and essential argument of the article in a concise format.  Select a research article that pertains to the management of health for a specific population (i.e.: stage in life cycle, medical condition, cultural/ethnicbackground).  Critique the selected research article related to evidenced-based practice.  Practice critical thinking skills in critical reading. Required Format: The assignment must be 2-3 pages (not counting resources)  Name of the author (s), title of the article, type of journal, volume number, date, and page numbers.  A paragraph abstract of the article to summarize the essential content/ideas.  A paragraph describing your view of the article’s balance. Did the writer address both sides of the issue? Was there bias involved and if so, slanted towards which side? What is your evidence of this bias or imbalance?  A paragraph describing your opinion of the article’s quality and your own position: o Did the writer do sufficient research? o Is the article technically correct and clearly presented and supported? o Are there elements of the argument that could have been enhanced with more detail or more argumentation? o What would a follow-up article contain to be useful to this one? o Did you agree with the article? 2 | P a g e o Did it support or change your opinion? If not, then why?  The final paper should be typed, double-spaced on one side of white standard (8 ½ X 11 inch) paper. Proofread your final copy carefully to avoid spelling or grammatical errors. Suggested Sources:  Peer-reviewed journals  Web Sources – If you’re not sure of the quality of the source, check with the Instructor/Faculty/Librarian first. Not so good sources:  Non-research journals – These are not great sources for evidenced-based practice articles, but rather provide basic information and/or explanations of a disease process, medications, etc.
