Using this theory, the idea of reinforcement helps us understand several aspects of addiction. For instance, why individuals react so differently to the same substance/drug? How the individual's unique relationship with the environment determines drug reactions? And finally, how individuals are able to modify their reactions through sheer force of will (Bandura, 1977; Castle & Hensley, 2002)
5. The primary role of the Biblical counselor is to help the individual through the process and, through Biblical teaching, provide wisdom and guidance to alleviate the sinful addiction and accompanying behaviors (Belzman, 2010)
.] adolescent suicide and suicide attempts include abnormally low levels of serotonin metabolite 5 HIAA; reduction in presynaptic 5HT receptor density; increase in post synaptic 5HT receptor density"(Cohen, et
Instead, the template focuses on the vision that the behavior and self-expression of the individual will markedly improve through open communication with God, acceptance of Jesus Christ into their lives, and the use of Christian dogma to help frame their lives. One might ask -- "How might Jesus have responded to the situation," and then move more aggressively into a solution based therapy designed specifically around Biblical wisdom (Cook, 2006)
Entwistle believes, "Everyone has a worldview -- a window through which he or she views the world, assumptions, and beliefs that color what he or she sees." But it is through this worldview that affects the individuals' paradigm that Entwistle believes is not so much chosen as what is learned from experiences, education and culture that are more or less ingrained, not really analyzed (Entwistle, 2004, 67)
This is also true for humans in that if there are other alternatives to addictive behavior, the individual is more likely to redirect their focus. Thus, the psychological approach combines acculturation with psychological needs and factors the environment into the equation as well (Goode, 2011) Christian theory, however, tends to focus more on a fundamental change in both the therapist and client based on the situation
Because the body relies on the artificial form, addiction occurs. Thus, this group of theories indicates that we have a predisposition genetically for addiction, but that the physical structure and biochemical nature of our bodies enhances that predisposition (Nestler, 2000; Brain on Drugs - the Science of Drug Receptors, 2005)
Another challenging counseling behavior, suicidal thoughts, may be the result of an undiagnosed personality disorder or a genetically inherited predisposition. Other views show that this may be the result of imitative thinking since after a film or news story focusing on suicide is aired, suicide rates rise (Symanski-Sanders, 2006)
There are, of course, any number of observable and latent factors that contribute to depression, most early non-cognitive therapies focusing then on only the observable dynamics. Over time, however, research and mediation models have shown that CBT represents more of an integration of principles derived from both behavioral and cognitive theories, and allows for the treatment of a broader range of issues through social learning, cultural framing, and the appraisals, self-efficacy expectations, and individual attributions (an individual's explanation of why an event occurred) (Wright, ed
However, it might be difficult to insist that a teen who was not spiritual or desirous of religious training be sent to a Christian counselor; just as it might be a mistake to take a devout Christian teen and ignore their spiritual side. If anything, the juxtaposition between these articles and their core belief systems show that an individual approach is perhaps the most efficacious way to treat patients (Yarhouse and Sells, 2008)
These cytokines cause an inflammatory reaction which attracts liquids and T-cells to the injury site, in order to reduce the woman's chances of infection, and to aid the healing process. In addition, thrombin is released from the broken cells, which results in the activation of platelet response (Dubois)
The woman's reaction to this blood loss is to repress metabolism in order to reduce blood flow; of course, part of this reaction is due to the blood loss, which results in a self-supporting cycle of continually lowering blood pressure which corresponds to the loss of blood from the circulatory system. The rupture of many capillaries and arterioles results in the immediate release of thrombus-attractant enzymes, which assure that platelets rush to the scene to help staunch blood flow (Gando)
Anatomy and Physiology Organ systems are "composed of two or more different organs that work together to provide a common function," (Carpi 1999)
One of the body's first lines of defense, and thus one of the primary means of maintaining homeostasis, is the integumentary system. The integumentary system is critical for maintaining homeostasis via "protection, temperature regulation, sensory reception, biochemical synthesis, and absorption," (Farabee 2001)
Physiology -- Legal Arguments Generally, employers are liable for injuries or harm sustained by their employees where those injuries or harms are the proximate result of the negligence or failure to protect employees from reasonably foreseeable risks to which they are exposed in their employment (Halbert & Ingulli, 2008)
Prostate Cancer Describe the pathophysiology of prostate cancer- What is occurring in the body? The pathophysiology of prostate cancer is poorly understood because of the lack of a reliable animal model of prostate cancer (Dreicer)
Simply put, exercise physiology (EP) is the identification of physiological mechanisms that underlie any physical activity. (Amundsen, 1981) and hypertension should be closely monitored
Cognition involves determining meaning, and behavior refers to actions. The processing between these domains and levels fits with physiological interactions between the "spine/midbrain basal ganglia, cortex, cerebellum, and prefrontal cortex," (Ortony, Norman, Revelle 1995, p177)
This is a serious medical condition that causes "Decreased production of blood coagulation factors by the liver plays a key role in altered haemostasis in liver diseases. Altered fragile balance of blood coagulation proteins and infection are associated with both worsening coagulopathy and bleeding risk" (Pluta, 2010)
, 2009). The binding protein is essential for normal functioning and patients with cirrhosis have a reduction in neoplastic nodules (Stockert & Becker, 1980)
