Essay 3 – Psychodynamic Interventions

Essay #3

Other approaches to treating individuals with addictions and compulsive disorders are psychodynamic interventions (e.g. exploration of trust, identity, attachment, abandonment), coping skills training (useful for patient and family groups and individual interventions), and solution focused brief training. I have scanned chapters from the book, Psychotherapy and Substance Abuse: A Practitioner’s Handbook by Washton (Ed).

Pick one of the approaches and talk about the pros and cons of the approach and find 2 articles and discuss them.  Compare and contrast the approaches if you wish. Often, issues of attachment and abandonment come up in treatment and they can be addressed by a number of approaches, but some psychodynamic exploration is helpful for long term sobriety.

DB 1

Read chapter two of your text. When is a person “dead”? Does death take place when the heart stops beating, when a person stops breathing, when there is no longer brain activity or is there another way to determine the moment of death? Research this topic in at least two or three sources and explain when you think death takes place.

(Chapter Two
The definition of death varies from culture to culture and throughout history. The most recent definition uses the centralist theory of brain death. Dying is a social process. The person who is dying is living and is involved in living experiences with others. The American experience of death has taken us from “living death” (1600–1830), characterized by a constant preparation for and fear of death, to the “dying of death” (1830–1945), an era in which death was denied, removed from daily activities, and relegated to the funeral homes, and the emphasis was on ways to postpone or preempt death. The next stage, the “resurrection of death” (1945–the present), was prompted by the dropping of the atomic bomb, when death was once again on everyone’s mind and nuclear disaster was imminent. Today, we see evidence of the denial of death from the Victorian era, as well as the fear of death from the Puritans. Evidence supporting the view that the United States is basically a death-denying society includes the widespread use of euphemisms for death, taboos on death conversations, the fascination with cryonics, caskets built for comfort, cosmetically enhanced corpses, and internment after guests leave the gravesite. Death in the United States is feared because we have been taught to fear it. One way to prepare for death and reduce anxiety is by contemplating one’s own death.)

How valid is the information gained from assessment instruments, and how should that information be applied? How do assessment instruments invade an individual’s privacy, and does the government have, at times, the right to insist that an individual be assessed?

Assessing individual

It is clear that today’s assessment instruments have widespread applications. With the knowledge that many individuals have used assessment instruments for less than honorable reasons (e.g., the Eugenics Movement), it is critical that we remain vigilant about the use of such instruments. Keeping this in mind, we should continually be asking ourselves some important questions regarding the use of assessment instruments, including the following:

How valid is the information gained from assessment instruments, and how should that information be applied?
How do assessment instruments invade an individual’s privacy, and does the government have, at times, the right to insist that an individual be assessed?
Can the use of some assessment instruments lead to labeling, and what are the implications for individuals who are “labeled”?
Are assessment procedures used to foster equality for all people, or do they tend to reinforce existing societal divisions based on class?
