Family Therapy

圖片
     Family therapy is based on the belief that the family is a unique social system with its own structure and patterns of communication. These patterns are determined by many things, including the parents' beliefs and values, the personalities of all family members, and the influence of the extended family (grandparents, aunts, and uncles). As a result of these variables, each family develops its own unique personality, which is powerful and affects all of its members. Family therapy is based on the following concepts as well. • Illness in one family member may be a symptom of a larger family problem. To treat only the member who is identified as ill is like treating the symptom of a disease but not the disease itself. It is possible that if the person with the illness is treated but the family is not, another member of the family will become ill. This cycle will continue until the problems are examined and treated. • Any change in one member of the family affec...

About Anxiety Disorder

圖片
Symptoms Anxiety disorders can cause physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and a general feeling of unease. A person suffering from anxiety feels incapable of acting in certain situations and will avoid those situations that make them uncomfortable, no matter what it forces them to give up - whether it's being able to go to work, enjoy a movie in a dark theater, or spending time in a public place like a shopping mall. Recognizing anxiety symptoms can put you on the right path to diagnosis.   Diagnosis A diagnosis of anxiety disorder must be given by a licensed professional. The evaluation is usually done with the help of a standardized questionnaire or interview along with a personal evaluation of the patient. A medical examination is recommended to rule out medical conditions that can cause similar symptoms. A family history of anxiety disorders can be very helpful as well.   Types of anxiety disorders • Generalized Anxiety Disorder • Ago...

Art Therapy

圖片
Art therapy is a creative method of expression used as a therapeutic technique. Art therapy originated in the fields of art and psychotherapy and may vary in definition. Art therapy may focus on the creative art-making process itself, as therapy, or on the analysis of expression gained through an exchange of patient and therapist interaction. The psychoanalytic approach was one of the earliest forms of art psychotherapy. This approach employs the transference process between the therapist and the client who makes art. The therapist interprets the client's symbolic self-expression as communicated in the art and elicits interpretations from the client. Analysis of transference is no longer always a component. Current art therapy includes a vast number of other approaches such as: person-centered, cognitive, behavior, Gestalt, narrative, Adlerian, family (systems) and more. The tenets of art therapy involve humanism, creativity, reconciling emotional conflicts, fostering self-awarenes...
