The session described in this chapter is a supplementary session directed toward clients who are not receiving frequent, adjunctive treatment focused directly on eating regularly (such as meetings with a dietitian/nutrition counselor, residential treatment, or daily food coaching). During this session, clients learn about regular eating, including the importance of regular eating and specifically what it would look like for the individual client. The basic framework for regular eating is three meals and two or three snacks a day at spaced intervals. Together with the therapist, the client will brainstorm ideas for overcoming obstacles to regular eating and look at strategies to tackle compulsive eating.

Chapter 5 is a supplementary session designed for clients who are not receiving frequent, adjunctive treatment focused directly on eating regularly (such as meetings with a dietitian/nutrition counselor, residential treatment, or daily food coaching). Some clients may not require extensive attention to regular eating because they eat regularly already and have other issues. It is important to log eating and to monitor and discuss connections between eating, symptoms, and emotions. In addition to reviewing food logs, this chapter instructs clients on regular eating and helps clients to identify obstacles to regular eating and to develop specific plans to address those obstacles. Clients also learn to identify strategies to delay automatic compulsive eating between regular eating episodes.

AbstractBackgroundAbuse of vulnerable adults in institutional settings has been reported from various countries; however, there has been no systematic review of the characteristics of the victims and their abusers. Our aim was to identify and synthesise the literature on victims, perpetrators and institutions where abuse occured in order to inform interventions to prevent such abuse.MethodsSearches of MEDLINE (OVID), CINHAL (EBSCO), EMBASE (OVID) and PsychINFO (OVID) databases identified 4279 references. After screening of titles and abstracts, 123 citations merited closer inspection. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 22 articles were included in the review.ResultsOur review suggested that the evidence available on risk factors is not extensive but some conclusions can be drawn. Clients, staff, institutional and environmental factors appear to play a role in increasing the risk of abuse.ConclusionsVulnerable clients need closer monitoring. Clients and staff may lack the awareness and knowledge to identify and report abuse. Institutions should take proactive steps to monitor clients, train staff and devise systems that allow for the identification and prevention of incidents of abuse.There is a need for further research into the associations between the individual client, staff, institutional characteristics and abuse.

Perception Of Health

Research background. In the spectrum of psychotherapeutic interventions, artistic therapies such as painting, clay modelling, music, dance therapy, as well as poetry and bibliotherapy have become an essential part of psychosocial treatment in a wide variety of medical and therapeutic indications. Artistic therapies enable patients to express stressful emotions in a protected environment, to regulate their own experiences, to learn about resources and to better process the psychologically restrictive consequences of the illness. Empirical evidence of efficacy is still lacking in many fields of Arts Therapies. However, recent, partially controlled randomized studies on art therapy in oncology show a significant reduction in anxiety and depression, a lesser degree of experiencing stress, improved perception of health, and improved disease management. A case Vignette shows how sustainable artistic experiences can have a therapeutic effect and how significant they can become for the individual client. Conclusion. Art therapy, especially in the field of oncology and palliative care, offers special opportunities for therapeutic accompaniment, through which central objectives can be met in the context of the overall treatment. It requires further practical and scientific development work as well as good public relations in order to draw attention to the potential of art therapy and to further validate and establish it as a fixed therapeutic component in oncology and palliative medicine, both inpatient and outpatient.

The Forensic Unit of the Alberta Hospital Edmonton has moved from evaluating the performance of a client in a work setting by observation to providing a comprehensive data base on the client through the use of a work history, interest screening and commercial work evaluation systems. A standardized approach, to evaluation has enabled the Occupational Therapists to develop a unique treatment programme for the individual client as a result of the evaluation process and provided reliable data in returning the client to competitive employment.

Safe Care

In view of the 'sunsetting' of restrictive regulations, which for years have obstructed comprehensive midwifery practice in Victoria, it is timely for the nature of midwifery care in a primary health care setting to be explicated. A best practice framework is employed to examine the pre-conditions and key process factors which facilitate and potentiate quality of midwifery care in the North Richmond Community Health Centre's shared care maternity program. The process of care is considered in detail, while outcomes and client perceptions are outlined. The nature of safe midwifery practice at the individual client/practitioner level�the micro dimension of care�is explored in the context of broader societal issues which directly and indirectly affect health status and outcomes for clients�the macro dimension. This discussion seeks not only to delineate best practice but also to challenge accepted notions of what constitutes safe care.

Although the last 20years have seen a focus upon evidence-based therapies, there are arguments that much of the so-called “evidence” produced is, in fact, irrelevant to the mental health practitioner in the field, principally because of the use of large-scale group designs in clinical controlled studies of the effectiveness of one therapy over another. By contrast, and with particular relevance to the practitioner who is both scientist and therapist, single subject research designs and methodologies for data analysis can be applied in ways that allow for generalisation to everyday practice. To inform the readership, the rationale underlying n = 1 studies is described, with some explanation of the major designs and their application to typical cases in guidance and counselling. Issues of inferential deductions from data, variations of design, data analysis via visual and statistical procedures, and replication are discussed. Finally, a case is argued for the introduction of n = 1 reports within the Australian Journal of Guidance and Counselling to better inform the readership about clinical research findings relevant to their practices.

Rehabilitation counselors usually focus their efforts upon the individual client. They fail to view him or her as part of a social network -- the family. Disability causes economic, social and emotional changes within the family. These changes may upset family stability and inhibit client adjustment and rehabilitation. The family must be viewed as a vital support system for the client, and their impact on rehabilitation should be evaluated. When it is necessary, counselors must design ways to intervene with the family. Family adjustment and treatment are rehabilitation issues, and they deserve consideration in the rehabilitation process.
