For example, a patient's posture of "what should I do?" can result in a therapist giving advice, helping the patient think through alternatives, or turning the question back to the patient, all reactions depending on whether the counter transferential response of the therapist is: one of pity, is he or she doesn't have the experience of being forced to act immediately; one of confidence if he or she desires to become more analytical or; one of impatience if he or she wants to stay dependent. In summary, therapists will have significant insight into the manner in which they need to organize their work with patients by decoding their own counter transference (Teresa, Andrae, Nicole & April, 2013; Graybeal, 2014)
The negative and positive sense of self were then weighed and noted to be two real parts of self and that the negative self dominated due to childhood experiences and other difficult adult life experiences building on that as described earlier. In the same setting, the idea of schema as prejudice, the negative sense of self was thought of a 'lens' through which K saw her life (Zayas, Drake & Jonson-Reid, 2011)
Thus, in CBT for psychosis, fearful thoughts must be reevaluated; withdrawal from social interactions and contacts slowly reversed; and feelings of control, hope and self-value gradually restored. Clients with the condition are allowed time to air their experiences, and approaches are formulated from the collaborative discussion between the client and the therapist to treat the condition (Freeman, 2013)
Other psychological therapies, such as supportive therapy, also alleviate symptoms in about 20 sessions. However, cognitive therapy is the only approach known to treat schizophrenia with proven durability (Gould, Mueser, Bolton, & et al
Long-term progress in treatment of psychotic symptoms using CBT will be dependent on the further improvisation of psychological frameworks or models of psychotic symptoms profile (in terms of onset and maintenance) and also the refinement of treatment manuals. In some cases, treatment using cognitive behavior therapy is thought to be more effective when used together with cognitively sparing antipsychotic medication (Pinto, La Pia, & Menella, 1999), or with cognitive remediation

The therapist then helps the patient to link his or her stressors with vulnerability, and to identify negative behavior and patterns that maintain dysfunctional components in their lives. This can be done through safety-behavior identification, training in coping skills, behavioral experiments and cognitive therapy, so as to stop or prevent the beliefs that needlessly undermine the well-being of the client (Walker, 2013)
A growing body of evidence confirms that CBT therapy has proven efficacy in helping parents cope with the grief associated with their loss of a child (Hoffman, 2012). Moreover, CBT therapy has been used by clinicians in other countries including Germany with good effect (David, 2007)
This support network can also include community- and school-based resources (Sussman, 2011). To ensure that all relevant legal and ethical considerations are taken into account and the program is aligned with them, clinicians providing grief counseling services must conform to all relevant professional codes of ethics and conduct in their jurisdiction (Hemingway & Querin, 2011)
Developing Advocacy Services to this Family Unfortunately, the Muller's are not unique and many families experience the loss of a child. Indeed, the National Childhood Grief Institute reports that more than 30,000 American families loss a child each year (Hoffman, 1996)
All of the Muller family members are highly fluent in English and all immediate family members were adversely affected by the loss in different ways and degrees. Cultural Considerations that Must be Taken into Account Although the Muller family has lived in the United States for 6 years and has become fully assimilated into American culture, many people of German origin have a cultural tendency to feel the need to remain stoic in the face of grief-invoking events (Ibsen, 2012)
Cultural Considerations that Must be Taken into Account Although the Muller family has lived in the United States for 6 years and has become fully assimilated into American culture, many people of German origin have a cultural tendency to feel the need to remain stoic in the face of grief-invoking events (Ibsen, 2012). Some authorities attribute this tendency, at least in part, to the profound collective national guilt and grief the German people have experienced since the end of World War II (Moore, 2005)
By contrast, a study by Rask, Kaunonen and Paunonen-Ilmonen (2002) found that the most effective interventions for that the most effective interventions that helped adolescents aged 14 to 16 years to cope with their grief following the loss of a sibling were (a) self-help programs and (b) support from surviving parents and other friend members, relatives and friends. These types of support programs can help young people better understand the grieving process and recognize that their experience is normal (Rask et al
Description of Methodology Based on the foregoing considerations, a family member-specific intervention using CBT therapy for the parents and self-help programs and a support network for the twin adolescent sons represents a viable treatment strategy. This support network can also include community- and school-based resources (Sussman, 2011)
Finally, an explanation concerning relevant legal and ethical considerations and how the program conforms to these considerations is followed by a summary of the research and important findings concerning the provision of efficacious and timely grief service interventions which are provided in the conclusion. General Description of the Population of Interest Both surviving adults and children can suffer from a wide range of emotional and physical disorders following a traumatic event or major loss in their lives, but young people are especially at risk of experiencing these outcomes (Walker & Shaffer, 2007)
