Description of intervention
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the best intervention for Ilana, who lost her husband and her youngest kind Eli in a road accident. This intervention will focus on the relationship with her thoughts, feeling, and behaviors (Wojnarowski et al., 2019). It will target the current problem that she is undergoing and focus on changing her behavior, thoughts, and feelings, contributing to her challenges in functioning. The intervention is the most appropriate for this case because it notes how the changes in a single domain can improve the other domains' functionality. There are various benefits of using this intervention in comparison to other interventions. The intervention functions through the provision of a support network. Since the intervention is action-based, Ilana will have a person to turn to as she works through the problem. With the knowledge of the support that she will be receiving, she will be working towards more positive behaviors while eradicating the negative behaviors and eliminates the fears. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: Please add your explanation here describing why this is so. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: You selected a theoretical orientation to use. It is not considered an intervention. An intervention would be a specific activity that you select to use in session when the client is sitting in front of you. There are many interventions that are related to theories that you may select for depression. Consider selecting an intervention that is focused on depression for this assignment to earn full points on the rubric.
Rationale
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is the most effective intervention strategy for Ilana based on the symptomatic behaviors that she has displayed. CBT is problem-focused and action-based. In the case of Ilana, her current problem is the worry of mislaying control, and she does not know how she will manage without her spouse and kid in the picture anymore. CBT starts by focusing on the current problem, which is an effective way towards recovery. CBT disputes the beliefs and deals with the situations directly. It does not influence the patient's religious or cultural beliefs. However, as a result ofbecause of the religious beliefs, if Ilana is more inclined to the Christian religious beliefs, a religiously integrated cognitive behavioral therapy can work effectively in her situation. After all, the religious belief will support her to gain faith and gain comfort that she can do it, thus eliminating or minimizing her worries. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: I would suggest placing a reference here to back this statement. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: You are doing a great job at describing CBT, and I applaud you for that. However, I would be doing you a disservice if I did not try to tell you what I learned over the course of my career working with trauma cases. Consider this—if you lost someone that you deeply love and that you relied on in your everyday life—your most important people—to something as senseless to drunk driving, you would be filled with horror and rage too. I am a big fan of CBT—believe me. It is a great intervention hat has helped many people to find relief from distress. The question here is when to use those techniques. I suggest focusing on the trauma first. If you like CBT, then some great techniques that also use cognitive structuring include trauma focused CBT or cognitive processing therapy.
Explanation of support
The intervention will also help her through behavioral therapy, especially because she moves through periods of shock, denial, and anger. She also struggles with feelings of hopelessness and rage. She is also posed with the feelings to cut off the emotions to protect and care for her daughter Eli. As a result, she can be subjected to a rigorous form of therapy since there is a great deal of work that needs to be done to help her through her feelings and esteem. The intervention also helps her to manage her anger issues (Lewis et al., 2019). CBT is culturally responsive to the patient’s core beliefs emphasizing culturally related strengths and support. Comment by Imelda N. Bratton: You identified a theory and not a particular intervention to use with the client. I highly encourage you to look for interventions that are designed for grief or trauma instead of a theory.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps the patients to learn how to communicate their feelings to others without being angry. Better communication skills help a patient through manager management because, through communication, they can express their feelings easily. It will help manage their self-esteem, which is the root of their disorder. It will focus on problems and working towards the development of a solution.
Future application
This intervention is best applicable to patients that have experienced trauma. It can also be used to help patients with anxiety disorders, depression, and addiction. The main advantage and the strengths of using this intervention on the patients is the provision of support to the patient, development of positive thoughts, raised self-esteem, management of anger as well as improved communication and coping skills which can help these patients through the healing process (Lewis et al., 2019). The treatment can help the patients through various issues and can also help the patients by preventing relapse.
