B. Gestalt Model  Emphasizes identifying the person‟s feelings and thoughts in the “here and now ”

THEORIES 1.Psychoanalytical Model  Behavioral disturbances stems from emotionally painful experiences  Repressed feelings lead to unresolved and unconscious conflicts in the mind  Defense mechanism develop which produces the disturbed symptoms  Psychotherapy uncovers the roots of conflict through interviews in long-term therapy  Ex. S. Frued 2. Developmental Model  Extended the work of Frued on personality development cross the lifespan while focusing on social and psychological development in the life stages  Ex. E.

S I N G

6. Existential A. Cognitive Model  Focuses on immediate thought processing-how a person perceives or interprets his or her experience and determines how he or she feels and behaves

7.Medical-Biological Model  Behavior disturbance is an illness or defect  Illness is located in the body, either a neurostructurral defects, biochemical alteration or genetics  Disease entities can be diagnosed, classified and labeled  Somatic therapies are used which includes: Electroconvulsive therapies o Psychosurgery o Bright Light Therapy o Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) or Repetitive Transcranial o Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) TREATMENT MODALITIES 1.Individual Psychotherapy  A method of bringing about change in a person by exploring his or her feelings, attitudes, thinking and behavior  a confidential relationship between client and therapist that may occur in the therapist‟s office, outpatient clinic, or mental hospital 2.

Yalom’s Therapeutic/Curative Factors P S Y C H I A T R I C



1. INSTILLATION OF HOPE is the first and often most important factor. Patients receive hope from observing others who have benefited from the group experience 2. UNIVERSALITY. Patients experience relief in knowing that they are not alone and unique, but th at others experience similar problems, feelings, and concerns.we are all in the sa me boat 3. IMPARTING OF INFORMATION. Patients learn or are provided information about areas related to their needs. 4. ALTRUISM. Patients experience themselves as helpful or useful to others. 5. CORRECTIVE RECAPITULATION OF PRIMARY FAMILY GROUP. Patients renew previous dysfunctional family patterns and learn that these patterns can be changed to meet their present needs effectively. 6. DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIALIZING TECHNIQUES. Patients are taught appropriate social skills. 7. IMITATIVE BEHAVIOUR. Patients selectively model healthy behaviors of the leader and other group members. 8. CATHARSIS. Patients are not only allowed to express them appropriately. 9. EXISTENTIAL FACTORS. Patients share feelings about “ultimate concerns” of existence, such as death or isolation, and learn to accept that there is a limit to their control of these issues. 10. COHESIVENESS. Patients experience feelings of being accepted, valued, and part of a group experience 11. INTERPERSONAL LEARNING. Patients learn how their behaviours affect others and more appropriate ways of relating in the supportive atmosphere of the group. PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY BASIC PRINCIPLES  A medication is selected based on the client‟s target symptoms  Many psychotropic drugs must be given in adequate for a period of time before their full effect is realized  The dosage of medication is often adjusted to the lowest dose effective for clients

 

Elderly persons require lower dosages of medication to produce therapeutic effects and it may take longer for a drug to achieve its full therapeutic effect Psychotropic drugs are often decreased gradually rather than abruptly discontinued Follow-up care is essential to ensure compliance with the medication regimen, to make needed adjustments in dose and manage side effects

REMEMBER (Ang tunog ng BUS) Anti-anxiety Drugs  Most common drugs are benzodiazepines - Diazepam(Valium), Lorazepam (Ativan), Chlordiazepoxide (Librium), Clorazepate (Tranxene)  Buspirone (Buspar) is the first pure anxiolytic drug and acts as a partial agonist at serotonin receptor sites.  Barbiturates may also be used for anxiety such as Phenobarbital  Propranolol (Inderal) is a beta-blocker effectively interrupts the physiological responses of anxiety  Antihistamines Hydroxyzine (Iterax, Atarax) has a central cholinergic effect and is good anti-anxiety agent

NURSING INTERVENTION Caution client to avoid potentially hazardous activities because of drowsiness  Warn the client of the danger of concurrent use of alcohol and other CNS depressants  Avoid abrupt withdrawal  Do not give antacids concurrently  Do not take medications with meals  Watch for adverse reactions 

REMEMBER Antipsychotic Drugs ( Ang kuwento ni THOR)  Classified either by chemical class, potency but more importantly by typicality  Low-potency drugs causes more anticholinergic side effects whereas highpotency drugs causes more EPS
