Cognitive Behavior Therapy Case Study
If I was treating Leo, I would utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and psychotropic medication.

    Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy Case Study

    There are two components to the CBT family; Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Therapy (CT). Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy was developed by psychiatrist, Dr. Albert Ellis.

The therapist may also use exposure therapy, to have Wally directly address his fears in a safe environment, where he can learn to adjust to his anxiety. Also, because Wally has felt a little depressed I might subscribe anti-depressant medication, which could relieve such symptoms as anxiety, or intense fear of disease. (http://www.mayoclinic.com…

    Fictional Clients for Psychology Diagnoses

    I would recommend Cognitive and Behavioral therapy approach for Lucy. This approach is best for those dealing with personality, anxiety, mood, etc. disorders (Stangor, 2010). They both are short-term and is preferred over long-term because it can lead to dependence on a therapist (Psych Central, 2013). The idea of cognitive therapy is that changing thoughts will change emotions, and that the new emotions will then influence behavior.

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (BPD)

    Mental illnesses are more readily labeled today than at any other time in history. Today it is estimated that approximately 26 percent of the American adult population suffers from some mental illness. Growth in this number will likely skyrocket as a younger generation grows out of the category of the age of onset ‘teens’ into young adults. When it is commonplace for patients to hesitate before questioning their doctors, the possibility of becoming overwhelmed in a sea of side effects that are worse than the threat they encounter from the disorder grows. While it is difficult to narrow medicine down to a one size fits all answer, a look at a specific personality disorder, in which the patient is often misdiagnosed or labeled as normal…
