In a research article by Gabbard and Kay (2001), a question of treatment modalities was addressed. The research set out to discover whether treatment conducted by one or two psychiatrists, who are both performing psychotherapy and providing medications, is better than the more traditional psychotherapy alone. The focus of the investigation was on patients that have been dually diagnosed and were in need of multiple treatments. It is hypothesized that “pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy have become fragmented from one another, creating an artificial separation of the psychosocial and biological domains in psychiatry,” (Gabbard & Kay, 2001). The study consisted of several pieces of research that the authors discussed and analyzed. Through much discussion regarding past studies, the authors suggested that further research is needed in order to clarify the optimal situations for the one-person model of integrated treatment. The study also looked into different possibilities underlying popularity with the integrated model. For instance, a two-person model, in which one simply provides medications and the other does the psychotherapy, may be more cost effective than other treatment options. The overall results of this study are inconclusive in providing positive results toward a one or two-person integrated treatment model. One limitation of the study is the knowledge provided by the authors. Although the two authors are well educated and both have specific expertise, their knowledge can only concretely explain to a certain limitation.
Similarly to the previous study discussed, this next one was conducted by a group of master’s level or Ph.D. holders that all worked closely to conduct, transcribe, and summarize provided interviews in the...

The author could have employed other methods of qualitative research such as, narrative analysis, grounded theory, discourse analysis, data display and analysis, content analysis and quantifying qualitative data and computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAPDAS) (Saunders et al., 2016). Nevertheless, these approaches seem cumbersome sometimes and take a long time to complete (Willig, 1999; Braun and Clarke, 2006 and Smith and Bekker,

In this chapter, Anderson, Lunnen, and Ogles (2010) discuss the interrelationship between theories of psychotherapy and the techniques used by those theories. They argue that the techniques used by therapists and the common change factors of all models of psychotherapy cannot be separated from the therapist’s underlying theory of psychotherapy. They unite these aspects into a contextual model. Anderson et al.’s contextual model and discussion of placebos will be evaluated and then applied to the author’s future therapeutic practice. Unfortunately, due to the pervasive influence of postmodern philosophy throughout the chapter, there is little that should be applied to one’s practice of psychotherapy.
The second chapter is titled, “Setting and Methods” and sets out to make clear to the reader the specific methods and research conducted during the study. This study is the primary purpose of the book, and as with all research studies, how one conducts their research is incredibly important, especially if the study plans to be replicated at any point in time. The topics included in this cha...

Psychotherapy explores the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals and seeks to improve an their overall well-being (American Psychological Association). Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most effective of these found under the umbrella of psychotherapy (Mental Health Treatments). According to the American Psychological Association, about 75 percent of people who enter cognitive behavioral therapy experience some benefits from treatment. This form of therapy seeks to identify and help change potentially self-destructive or unhealthy behaviors (Gotter). Although medication does not outright cure mental illness, psychotherapy paired with medication is the most effective way to pave the way to recovery (Mental Health
...various forms of treatment methods used by therapist, it became more obvious to me that I prefer a combination of therapies. I can certainly see how each of the various approaches are pliable for different situations; from background to action based. It is my current understanding that as a school counselor I may be asked to move from one approach to another in a seamless fashion.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most extensively tested psychotherapies for depression. Many studies have confirmed the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment for depression. This paper will provide background information about the intervention, address the target population, and describe program structure and key components. It will also provide examples of program implementation, challenges/barriers to implementing the practice, address how the practice supports recovery from a serious mental illness standpoint and provide a summary. Although there are several types of therapy available to treat depression and other mood disorders, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) has been one of the most widely used. It is thought to be very effective in treating depression in adolescents and adults. CBT is targeted to quickly resolve maladaptive thoughts and behaviors without inquiring greatly into why those thoughts and behaviors occur as opposed to other forms of psychotherapy.
