about the therapeutic effects of magnets, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) which is also known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). During the later part of the 19th century magents were used to induce neuronal activity; however, in the later part of the 20th century, Barker and his colleagues illustrated that magnetic stimulation in human motor cortexes produces depolarization of cortical areas (Eitan, & Lerer, 2006). TMS is a noninvasive therapeutic technique
individuals, as much as I am able, to help unearth it should this basic truth become hidden to them. This is a guiding principle for me and I believe that many of the constructs of the field of Therapeutic Recreation (TR) are congruent with this philosophy. Making the decision to obtain a Therapeutic Recreation Specialization (TRS) degree offered a theoretical rationale in which to further explore the concept of leisure, define my professional philosophy and an opportunity to reflect critically

and just perceive it as a form of entertainment for centuries, but it is utilized for much more than just entertainment. From therapy to politics, it has been deemed useful for various reasons. One of music’s profound useful abilities are its therapeutic impact towards depression. Music’s ability to alter someone’s mood to a positive state is the reason why it is so effective.

positions adopted during the delivery process (Anderson & Taylor, 2012). In TT, the practitioner’s hands do not make actual physical contact with the patient. Therapeutic touch was developed by Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz in the 1970s as a non-invasive nursing intervention (Kelly et al. 2004). Jackson and Keegan (2009, p.614) defined therapeutic touch as “a specific technique of centring intention used while the practitioner moves the hands through a recipient’s energy field for the purpose of assessing
Next, I am going to discuss the person-centred interventions I exercised through the therapeutic process with my client in session four. Within this I am going to explore how these interventions impacted my client’s responses and how I could improve my skills in future sessions.

Gender difference in physical contact may has negative influence in therapy which warrant further attention.

Conclusion “Touch and personal interactions with patients are the hallmarks of our nursing
Introduction This essay will consider the terms ‘the self-actualising tendency’ and ‘the fully functioning person,’ and how they tie in with Roger’s six necessary and sufficient conditions for constructive personality change (Rogers, 1957). The essay will incorporate theoretical published evidence to support my understanding of the essay question. A summation will be given at the end to conclude the essay. 1. Two persons are in psychological contact. The Relationship: “I am hypothesising that
The legalization of marijuana as a prescription drug should be allowed. Medical research shows that marijuana has therapeutic value in patients with various types of cancers, some neurological disorders, and AIDS patients. The marijuana eases some of the effects of chemotherapy such as nausea and dizziness. It also controls muscle spasms and contractions and aids in the relaxation of patients with neurological disorders. Many researchers and administrations of the government, such as the Drug
The therapeutic alliance, or working alliance, may be defined as the quality of involvement between therapist and client through task teamwork, mutual goal settings and strong rapport established (Orlinsky, Ronnestad & Willutzki, 2004). Indeed, the therapist’s role is an important contributing factor to the therapeutic relationship as a positive working alliance will greatly be determined by the skills they portray (Ornstein & Ganzer, 2005). Achieving a therapeutic alliance depends largely upon the
emphatically emphasizes the therapist's attitudes and feelings, not techniques, in the therapy relationship (Brodley, 1998). Person-centered therapy stresses the importance of building a therapeutic relationship that the client feels comfortable to express himself/herself, to trust the therapy, to grow and make therapeutic changes. In person-centered counseling, the relationship that the therapist provides for the client is not an intellectual one. The therapist cannot help the client by the professional
According to Strupp (1971), “psychotherapeutic relationship is in principle indistinguishable from any good human relationship in which a person feels fully accepted, respected, and prized” (p. 39). Thus, there must be a therapeutic alliance between therapist and client. This therapeutic alliance should creative an environment for the client in which the client feels the therapist is judgment-free. I find that Roger's theory to be interesting and seemingly affective. It makes sense that a change in a

A good many of you are in here because you could not adjust to the rules of society in the Outside World, because you refused to face up to them, because you tried to circumvent them and avoid them.

present some of the notable research that has been done on therapeutic hypothermia, and current use of this intervention. Control studies, animal studies, and case studies have been published related to these medical interventions. Unfortunately, there are still many healthcare providers not using this intervention. Dainty, Scales, Brooks, Needham, Dorian, Ferguson et al. (2011) study states, “observational research shows that therapeutic hypothermia is delivered inconsistently, incompletely, and

Power of Therapeutic Touch Derived from several ancient healing practices, therapeutic touch is based on the theory of human energy fields - every person has an energy field that surrounds the entire body. During therapeutic touch treatment, practitioners use their hands, without actually touching the person, to re-establish a healthy energy flow. Therapeutic touch seeks to restore balance within the body while also stimulating the patient's own healing response. The practice of therapeutic touch
5. Person-centered therapy is completely focused on the individual and achieving a greater degree of independence in their lives. Rather than focusing on the problems that the individual is facing, this kind of therapy focuses on the person as a whole. Rather than attempting to solve the individual 's problems, the therapist assists the individual in growing in their coping skills and mechanisms so that they may better face the problems that are in their lives. They do this without asking questions
in a Specialty Care Unit. The student was directed to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) to observe a patient that was critically ill and receiving extensive treatment. The student observed a nurse caring for a patient while administering therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. The patient L.E. is a 73 year old male.
