Psychology

There are various therapies which are applied to detect behavior adaptation. This includes Cognitive and Reality therapies. There are therapies which consider the cause of emotional responses and maladaptive behavior as cognitive patterns. This is dealt with in Cognitive therapy. Psychological problems in this case are solved through change of thoughts. Both behavioral and emotional disorders can be treated through behavior therapy. Training is used to help wipe out behavioral disorders with perceived ones. Cognitive restructuring helps change some of the unhealthy behavior in someone. There are also techniques which are applied to do away with the unhealthy behavior (Ledley Deborah, 2005). Some of the behavior disorders which can be treated using cognitive therapy include insomania, mental disorders, panic disorder, eating disorders and depression. This kind of treatment is not applicable to all patients. Some of these cases include cognitive impairments.

A systematic procedure is followed in solving problems using the cognitive theory approach. Some of the problems solved using this approach include cognitions, behavioral and dysfunctional emotions (Basco Monica R., 2005). Manual treatment is applied in treating psychological orders. There are different occasions when behavior therapy can be used. It may involve group setting or individual therapy. Some therapists are behaviorally oriented while others are cognitive oriented. Alleviation of symptoms is the tradition followed in cognitivebehavior therapy. There are various mental health problems which can be treated using this approach. This include depression, Post-traumatic stress disorder and bulimia nervosa (Taylor Steven, 2004). There are various therapeutic methods and approaches which are use in cognitivebehavior therapy. Some of these include multimodal therapy and cognitive therapy. Learning these concepts helps in the development of a therapist. This is because one is in a position to identify the psychological disorders and the choice of treatment to be introduced. It has been noted that, this approach is not applicable to all patients.

William Glasser developed the reality theory. This approach involves counseling and psychotherapy. The theory upon which reality therapy is based is the choice therapy.  The creation of a better future for a patient is the mandate of this approach. The immediate condition of the patient is considered in solving problems and counseling.  One has to identify what heshe wants. The progress is weighed in this case. The goal is taken to be the reference point upon which all other activities are based on. Reality therapy is not only a counseling technique but has much in it as it involves solving problems. There are some scenarios in which people may require help to get out of problems which they might be experiencing. There are also other occasions when certain people may not be wishing to get assistance despite of having problems. Reality therapy is applicable in such scenarios and helps solve problems being encountered. A model may be devised to enable people solve problems. The model is used in training sessions.

The decision to apply reality therapy depends on the individual upon which help is to be introduced.  Good relationship should be established in this case (Trip Simona, 2007). The relationship helps handle clients who may hesitate to get any assistance. A positive relationship is highly required in dealing with individuals who may not be in need of assistance. There may be no influence in the lack of a good relationship. A counseling environment is required in order to extend help to those who may be resistant for help despite of being in problems. There are several basic needs which need to be addressed. This includes fun, belonging, freedom, power and love. These needs can be addressed by building a good relationship.  The person being assisted should be introduced to an environment which prompts a good relationship. An interactive environment is vital in finding a solution.  The actual problem can be handled after creating the need-satisfying environment. A solution can then be found after interrogating the client.
