Dr Van Der Kolk Summary

A physician has an unenviable position. He is closest to man approaching a god-like stature and when that god stumbles, the consequences can be disastrous. This is even more so in the field of psychiatry where the fact that mental illness exists is not disputed, but the diagnoses and treatment is often suspect. However, despite the demise of 'doctor knows best ', we still need to trust a psychiatrist since diagnosis is based on a patient 's expressed thoughts and overt behaviours rather than solely on biological phenomena. This requires not only that the patient trust the doctor, but even before that, the doctor appreciates and understands the context of those behaviours; behaviours that are influenced by the patient 's environment.

An objection that he replies to is that by treating a patient that wishes not to be treated, is requiring a patient to live a life that she does not want to live. Varelius argues that treating the patient based on objective prudential values is better for the patient than respecting her subjective values. Also, when the patient is presented with the idea, she will realize that her decision was based on false reasoning and she will change her mind. This makes Varelius paper much stronger and much more likely to

By using all three points of view the reader is able to see all the different perspectives and gain an understanding of everyone in the book. It also helps readers be able to see what Zusak is trying to tell them. The different tones allow people to see the different sides of Death and understand how he views the world. “It kills me sometimes, how people die” (464). By using first person confessional people are able to see Death in a new way, it shows his emotions and makes him more humanized.

Although his writing can be engaged to an audience who reads the situation the boy is encountering with his neighbors ,but to analyze themselves instead of another person.Therefore the intended purpose of this writing is to not analyze or criticize how a person live, but to analyze themselves , as they could be living their life differently such as being greedy.”You should look at yourself. I mean really look at yourself ” .Therefore the author notifies the audience of the situation he was in throughout his life,through the use of emotional appeal using personal experiences in his life and humor

The stories that we have heard as we have grown up have helped us to learn about the world around us by creating examples, as well as warnings about the experiences we may face. These stories have taught us to adapt to our surroundings, and be aware of the things going on in our world. We find ourselves able to develop because we learn by hearing stories of those who have experienced things we are going through. Stories, such as “The Hook” and Other Teenage Horrors, create a better understanding of the world around us by showing how men and women are portrayed in society, as well as discussing issues such as rape and murder, and several stereotypes. In “The Hook”, author, Jan Harold Brunvand analyzes an urban legend about a teenage couple parked on “lover’s lane.” The couple is sitting in the car when a radio broadcast comes on and warns of

In most cases, a pre-treatment intervention involves meeting up with a counsellor before the actual intervention happens. The counsellor informs concerned family and friends that the intervention should be delivered in such a way that the addict will understand how his addiction is affecting his life and the lives of people around him. It should be delivered in a non-confrontational manner; the one doing the intervention should keep his or her emotions

The article opened my eyes to how DO doctors are treated compared to MD doctors. I do not think there is really much of a difference. I believe that an osteopathic doctor is just as good if not better than a regular doctor. An osteopathic doctor focuses more on the patients. They focus on why the patients are hurting and they pay more attention to how they can fix it without using medicine or surgery.

(Brendtro, Doncaster, &Mitchell, 2011,p.4) The times have changed we see more therapist working with patients without the use of medications and focusing on the patients feeling and thoughts. I find that to be good because who wants to take bottles and bottles of medications that have side affects that affect other parts of the body or organs. It was been shown that when the patient talks to therapists the patients does better. When it comes to evaluating more research I believe this kind of therapy can help researchers find more evidence or research to show that we do need more therapy to help patients get better. When we find therapy in ourselves we are less stressed.

Rational emotive behaviour therapists use a lot of different ways such as cognitive, images, emotive, and behavioural to help the client to obtain a rational way to live. Therapists are encouraged to be flexible and creative in their use of methods, making sure to tailor the techniques to the unique needs of the client (Dryden, 2007). Rational emotive behaviour therapists use a persuasive cognitive method in the therapy process. The therapist shows the client what they tell themselves in a quick and direct way. They can teach their clients how to deal with the things they are always telling themselves so that they can be able to stop believing them, and they help them to acquire a philosophy that is based on reality.

I believe that the characteristics of the model must have a set balance across the healthcare field to prohibit practitioners from neglecting some sides of the BPS model. There are some doctors and psychologists who claim that the model ’s weaknesses cannot be fixed, such as it being impractical due to the large amount of information that must be understood by practitioners and the confusion over how to balance the three facets of the model. While there are weaknesses, the benefits of an overall health model could aid mental health practitioners with understanding their patients in ways that they never had before. This benefit must be weighed against the possibility of using an impractical model that may not direct courses of
