Specialized Treatment – The Perfect Gift © 2021 Walden University 1 Specialized Treatment – The Perfect Gift Program Transcript [MUSIC PLAYING] MALE NARRATOR: People visit shopping malls for many different reasons. Some arrive looking to make personal purchases, others hope to find the perfect gift for someone else. Younger visitors gathered to socialize, elderly walk the concourse for exercise, and couples arrive to dine or to take in a movie. In many ways, shopping malls offer a one-size-fits-all shopping experience with something for everyone located under one roof. Despite the diversity of offerings, however, shopping malls are in decline, as they struggle to compete with boutiques and online shopping experiences. Buyers increasingly prefer more personalized shopping solutions than an attempt at a one-sizefits-all. Approaches to psychotherapy certainly follow the retail trend. Clinicians understand that specific clients, groups, and populations have unique characteristics that require more personalized or customized treatment plans. Much like the visitors of the local mall, young and elderly populations arrive with different needs. Likewise, clients presenting with specific disorders may require personalized treatment approaches. A diverse population coupled with an increasing understanding of different disorders restricts any attempt at a one-size-fits-all approach. By tailoring approaches to client and group needs, clinicians can develop treatment experiences that lead to better outcomes, helping clients find that perfect gift for themselves.
Aassignment: Psychotherapy for Clients With Addictive Disorders
Addictive disorders can be particularly challenging for clients. Not only do these disorders typically interfere with a client’s ability to function in daily life, but they also often manifest as negative and sometimes criminal behaviors. Sometime clients with addictive disorders also suffer from other mental health issues, creating even greater struggles for them to overcome. In your role, you have the opportunity to help clients address their addictions and improve outcomes for both the clients and their families.
