demonstrate the ability to use common factor competencies to manage emotional distress and maintain therapeutic alliances to support patients using low-intensity interventions

Talking about reflective case studies

Common factor skills as a psychological well-being practitioner. (A uk based mental health role under the iapt service) there is several research around this.

Strengths to discuss:

I use empathy to aid the therapeutic relationship by checking in on clients week and acknowledging any changes/achievements to their goals that they have made as well as facilitating the space to discuss any setbacks.
Giving the client verbal appraisals for the steps theyve made towards the goals can make them feel appreciated and also provide the space for them to see that changes are happening even if they are minor.

Talking clients through setbacks provides the space to normalise their experiences and identify the areas they need support in, whether thats outside of therapy e.g. circumstantial things like finances and social world
And even in therapy. For example if they are struggling with techniques and homework tasks then we discuss any issues they are having and identify whether any adaptations need to be made.

Con – this causes us to go over time and opens up the floor for clients to bring up things outside of realms of therapy,
I try to curb this by using statements to bring us back to the focus of therapy.
PWP work is based on research that says therapy should be time-limited. So sessions are expected to be no longer than 30minutes which can be very tight, making it difficult to factor in certain considerations like being collaborative, attentive, empathetic and well-paced (even though this is supposed to be the core skills of a PWP)

I try to normalise the clients experiences and relate the research/self-help materials to themselves. I find using analogies really helps to keep clients engaged because they have to use their imagination (this is especially relevant in telephone assessments) however in video calls they can actually see the screen so I try to use diagrams and pictures where appropriate.

Trying to make materials adaptable. Some clients find it daunting to have to Carry around the booklets/guides just so they can practice techniques. Making the techniques adaptable by incorporating the use of their phone can be helpful, because its easier for them to use, they can always transfer it to the booklets later, its modern (reduces the stigma with carrying around the guide) they may not want people to see this and can make the techniques more motivating. Its also easier to use in real time for example when using worry time, clients may find it easier and quicker to write their worries down in their phone notes. This is especially relevant to the times we are in now where everything has had to shift and adapt to digital, more accessible ways of working
I try to demonstrate active listening through the use of reflections and relaying back the clients own words (checking that I understand their perspective)
There are times in sessions where patients may get upset/distressed about the things we speak about. In those moments it can be helpful to demonstrate empathy through my choice of words- letting clients know that I hear how difficult it is for them but also providing them the space to take a minute if they too: and verbally expressing this also e.g. its ok, just let me know whenever you are ready. This is also a good opportunity to normalise clients experiences -letting them know that they are not silly or shouldnt feel embarrassed to cry. We all do it sometimes and its a normal response when things are difficult.
If you can add anything to this, that would be really helpful. And also If you can think of anything in the research that supports/goes against this please do add, elements of criticism would be really good. Thank you

Pretend that you are responsible for creating and presenting a professional development
workshop on closely reading text creates a presentation for your college that addresses
these questions. What information about close reading is essential for you to highlight
and explain to your colleagues? Why? What materials, resources and/or links will be
valuable to share with them? What resources have you discovered on your own that you
would like to share and/or recommend? Since none of us enjoy being bored during a PD,
how
will you ensure this does not happen to your colleagues? How will you organize and present
this information and keep your audience interested?

Completing the following assignment will enable you to assess the degree to which the Revolution was revolutionary.

Module 4 Worksheet
Answer the questions:
Why did the Continental Congress believe that their actions had to be shown as “necessary”? (What was the ideological basis for that belief?)
How do we know that Jefferson intended the Declaration to be read not only in silence but aloud as well? (In other words, what evidence supports that claim?)
Why did Jefferson believe that the situation required a thorough list of the acts which had compelled the colonists to declare independence when he had not included such detail in the justification for independence?
What is a “candid” world? (What does the phrase mean in this context?)
Why did Jefferson use the phrases “He is” and “He has” repetitively?
Why did Jefferson use the term “swarm” to describe something that, in reality, involved relatively few people?
Jefferson closed with the phrase “our sacred honor.” What did this mean? (You need to define what the phrase meant to the men of the times and what was the importance of including this phrase in the Declaration.)

What serological lab works would you order to obtain the above results?( Be specific with the lab names).

CASE STUDY ( PRIMARY CARE)

A 47 year old male patient (A) presents your office c/o painful and bleeding defecation that started as couple of days ago. Pt also states that he noticed some intermittent pruritus on his back. Pt comes to your consultation accompanied by his male husband of 45 years old (Patient B), who suddenly states to you that he had noticed a painless “blister ” on his genital area, but he is not quite sure when it appeared .
Patient A: With no past or family relevant history and with no know allergies (NKA).
Patient B: With a PMH of seasonal allergic rhinitis and NKA. No other family or relevant history.

On complete physical examination of both patients your assessment reveals the following findings:
On Patient A; you noticed a visible anal fissure in the inferior region of the anal sphincter. Besides, you also noticed disseminated papules in the trunk and macules on palms and soles.
Patient B ; on examination you noticed a visible ulceration in the genital area, and patient denies any pain on palpation. On general assessment , no adenopathy noted or reported by patient B.

Since both patients are a marital couple, you proceed with serological testing for each patient (A&B). You suspect a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD). On your verbal assessment, both patients (A&B) deny having or being treating in the past for STD’s in the past, to which you believe.

Lab Results:
Patient A: Leukocytosis- Treponema (Positive)- Non-Treponema (Positive)-HIV(Negative)-Hepatitis (Negative).

Patient B: Treponema(Positive)- Non-Treponema(Negative)-HIV(Negative)- Hepatitis(Negative).

Please answer the following questions in APA format and include in – tex references.

1- What serological lab works would you order to obtain the above results?( Be specific with the lab names).

2- What is the diagnosis for Patient A?

3- What is the diagnosis for Patient B?

4- What would it be the differential diagnosis for Patient A and Patient B?( Be specific. Your diagnosis contains stages. Therefore, be specific on them).

5- How are you going to treat Patient A? ( be specific and include the time of the treatment).

6- How are you going to treat Patient B?(be specific and include the time of treatment).

7- What would be the possible cause of this infection if both patients did not have any sexual encounter outside their relationship in the last year? Again, you believe both patients did not have any sexual encounter outside their marital sexual relationship .

Endangered Languages / Discussion 4: Local Languages and Geography

Read Harrison’s reading: https://rutgers.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/leganto/readinglist/citation/16757081180004646?institute=01RUT_INST&auth=SAML
Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMtSdL_r1gc
We’ve already talked quite a bit about the various types of information (cultural, historical, scientific) that may be encoded in local languages. Narrowing our focus once again, our question for this week is What can place names tell us about a geographic area and the people who live there?
In addition to cultural information, ecological data, and traditional time reckoning systems, indigenous languages can also encode quite a lot of geographic information as well. In roughly 150-200 words, citing specific examples from the readings in Harrison, Heckewelder, and Reichel, talk about the different types of information that is encoded in indigenous place names and the “human geography” of a given region–geographical, ecological, historical, mythic (giving examples of each type if possible). You will not receive full credit for participation if you do not address the material covered in the readings, citing them by the author and page numbers.
You will also be expected to offer a response to one of your classmates, in order to get full credit for the week. This can take the form of a counterpoint (disagreeing with your classmate’s position, and offering evidence to the contrary), or a supporting argument (offering additional information to support the claim of your classmate). For this response, you need not be limited to the material covered in this week’s readings.
