Intervention: Treatment, Counselling, and Therapy

Psychological therapies help us to plan how mental illness can be treated. Select a

specific mental disorder, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, substance use

disorder, eating disorder, one of the paraphilias, one of the personality disorders, etc. -

your choice. Then, select any two therapies - your choice - to explain how the selected

disorder is treated. The therapies should be distinctive from one another (e.g.,

psychodynamic, post-modern, humanistic/existential, cognitive-behavioural, family

systems, and biopsychosocial, etc.).

Some therapies presuppose that a person seeks professional help because they do not

know what to do to solve and/or resolve their problems. Other therapies postulate that

clients do know - they are the experts. Evaluate the strengths and limitations of these

perspectives. Explain the clinical circumstances in which either might be indicated and

effectively applied, and, the clinical circumstances in either model might be

contraindicated and inapplicable. Provide an example of each to illustrate.

A viable counsellor-client relationship is considered foundational to positive therapeutic

outcomes. However, a therapeutic relationship might be less necessary, not possible,

unwarranted, culturally inappropriate, or even contraindicated in certain clinical

circumstances. Describe at least five such circumstances and explain why a therapeutic

relationship might not be foundational to positive therapeutic outcomes/nYORKVILLE
