Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FASTR is what you get when a Silicon Valley product designer uses design thinking to successfully resolve a persistent and pernicious anal fissure. As I discovered, a chronic fissure (sometimes called an anal ulcer, anal lesion, or anal tear) can disrupt pretty much everything in life, robbing you of joy, peace, and productivity. If this condition is affecting you or a loved one, you’re likely seeking a fast and lasting solution. Those were my goals, so I developed a protocol that worked for me. FASTR (Fissure-in-Ano Self-Treatment and Repair) consolidates key data, personal experience, a little discretion, and plenty of empathy in a way that can save you time and reduce suffering. I hope that sharing it as a pattern can help you build your own effective protocol.

Download or read book TIP 35 Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment Updated 2019 written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

In the third section, detailed guidelines for the implementation of each of effective strategies and techniques for facilitating patient adherence to treatment are presented, including motivational interviewing, patient education, skills training, increasing resources and support, problems solving, and relapse prevention. The fourth and fifth sections provide guidelines for the application of the information and strategies discussed in the previous sections to promoting adherence to a variety of specific treatments and with a variety of specific patient populations, with an emphasis is discussing considerations and issues specific to each treatment and patient population.

This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Implementing Evidence-Based Practices for Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Disorders" provides managers and clinicians with results from Practice Improvement Collaboratives (PIC) that demonstrate how substance abuse treatment can be improved by increasing the exchange of knowledge between community-based service providers and the research community. The book examines improvement collaboratives and mentoring strategies for adopting and using evidence-based practices. Contributors address how to determine the best treatment processes to serve clients, how to deal with the hurdles faced in preparing and training counsellors, and how to affect the needed changes in agency activities. This unique professional resource responds to an Institute of Medicine report that found a substantial disconnect between research and practice in treatment for drug and alcohol dependence. Focusing on how to make the changes necessary to support the adoption and use of evidence-based practices, the book documents the activities of four sites to illustrate how investigators and treatment practitioners worked together to implement evidence-based practices. Contributors examine the development and early implementation of Practice Improvement Collaboratives, the investigator-provider-policymaker model, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, the use of Opinion Leaders in training, and targeted strategies that take into account the differences in clinician demographics and training. "Implementing Evidence-Based Practices for Treatment of Alcohol and Drug Disorders" is an essential tool for alcohol and drug counsellors, directors of alcohol and drug treatment clinics, and instructors in counsellor training and academic programs.

It's ahead of its time because it redefines many psychological terms to simplify understanding the development and operation of the personality. By using what appears to be a natural development of personality dynamics from conception to adulthood, concepts such as memory, subconscious, unconscious, dissociation, trauma, personality parts, and repression are brought alive in a meaningful way. Because this is a memory-based model, the unfolding of behavior and the development of the personality is easy to understand. Memory based symptoms such as phobias, anger, anxiety, confusion, depression, and auditory and sensory intrusions are easy to identify and treat.

Your subconscious then becomes both the healing agent and an ally to help you to problem-solve difficult issues. Timesaving treatment interventions, as well as examples of problem-solving strategies, are given to help you meet your treatment objectives.
