ADULT HOOD PSYCHOLOGY

Instead of exploring past traumatic events or inner conflicts, behaviour therapists focus on the presenting problem—the problem or symptom that is causing the patient great distress.

Behaviour therapy proves to be of immense help to those who have substance use disorders. This disorder occurs when the recurrent use of alcohol and/or drugs causes clinically and functionally significant impairment, such as health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home.

These substances not only lead to addiction but may also contribute to psychiatric problems like mood disorders, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders and psychosis.

Techniques used in Behaviour Therapy include Exposure therapy, Aversion therapy, Modelling, Systematic use of reinforcement and Token economies.

Behaviour therapy ranges wide and is known to be successfully applied in children, adults as well as old age population.

Every person’s experience with substance use disorder is unique, so our therapist aims to plan treatment that is tailored to individual needs of the client to ensure maximum benefit.

Supportive psychotherapy is a dyadic treatment that uses direct measures improve symptoms and maintain, restore, or improve self-esteem, ego function, and adaptive skills.

The therapist attempts to help patients deal with their emotional distress and problems in living.

It can be a very beneficial treatment for a wide range of psychiatric disorders like Developmental disorders, Psychotic disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, Mood disorders, Anxiety disorders, Personality disorders, Adjustment disorders, etc.

MET is based on principles of motivational psychology and is designed to produce rapid, internally motivated change.

The therapist’s task is to create a set of conditions that will enhance the client’s own motivation for and commitment to change and rather than relying upon therapy sessions as the primary locus of change, the therapist seeks to mobilize the client’s inner resources as well as those inherent in the client’s natural helping relationships.

MET contains four carefully planned and individualized treatment sessions. The first two sessions emphasize on structured feedback from the initial assessment, future plans and motivation for change.

The final two sessions at the midpoint and end of treatment provide opportunities for the therapist to reinforce progress, encourage reassessment, and provide an objective perspective on the process of change.

MET is particularly useful in situations where contact with clients is limited to few or infrequent such as substance use disorder.
