Q

williamson

A

One of the most critical facts we learned was that there is a difference btw those of us who have experienced an episode of depression and those who have not: depression forges a connection in the brain between sad mood and negative thoughts so that even normal sadness can reawaken major negative thoughts. Beck found that mood was shaped by thoughts.

Q

ACIS

A

By providing a structured way to view communication and interaction, occupational therapists can use the ACIS with clients to identity areas of strength and habits interfering with effective interaction. Specific communication and interaction skills, such as gesturing, focusing, and respecting, can be practiced to facilitate participation in meaningful occupations and valued social groups.

 The ACIS is an observational assessment that gathers data on communication and interaction skills. Three domains, physicality, information exchange, and relations, are used to describe different aspects of communication and interaction. The ACIS gathers data on skill as it is exhibited during performance in an occupational form and/or within a social group.

Q

o place and train model vs. train and place

A

Place and Train. Use supported employment of the client’s choice with intensive supports, including on-the-job training and ongoing assessment in the workplace. Time-unlimited support and assessment in community-based integrated employment are emphasized. It is important to coordinate mental health treatment with highly individualized employment services. Rapid placement of people in real-world work settings is followed by in vivo support, resources and training in those settings.
A. Placements: brokered by contract agencies offering rehabilitation services that are separate from treatment team
B. Clients evaluated and assigned to different types of training jobs prior to receiving assistance with job search, placement and support
C. Types of placements:
i. sheltered employment: these have not provided an effective conduit to mainstream employment but they do provide work experience and a modified income to persons unable to perform in a competitive work setting without ongoing supervision)
ii. In-house jobs: work-oriented day treatment programs in clubhouses. Work behaviors modeled by staff and may also receive more formalized skills training groups. May also receive assistance with job development, coaching and time-limited follow-up in these temporary positions.
iii. Transitional employment: temporary community jobs arranged between rehab agency and a community employer. Develop confidence and add to resume.

Q

psychosocial rehab model

A

Psychosocial Rehabilitation model’s aim is to help people live in the community with the least amount of professional support necessary. This became the domain of vocational rehabilitation as occupational therapists had withdrawn from vocational programming in their move toward the medical model of disability. Psychosocial Rehabilitation focuses primarily on work, but also includes social and community performance. The Role Acquisition Frame of Reference in occupational therapy is good fit. It emphasizes exploring the environment through doing.

Q

PTSD OT implications

A

Sensory Integration and Trauma-informed Occupational therapy interventions (LeBel, et al, 2010).
A. The impact of trauma on the body
1. Affects Hippocampus: learning, memory,
2. Affects frontal-limbic system connections: regulation of emotional responses to stress and fear
3. Affects hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis: neuroendorine system that controls responses to stress and regulates body processes such as immune function
4. May cause an increase in other symptoms, such as hypertension, tachycardia, etc.
B. Use sensory approaches across three phases of trauma treatment described by Luxenberg, et al, 2001.
C. Trauma informed care: assess environment and triggers, perception of danger, symptoms of distress, functional and behavioral problems. Also assess what the individual is doing to increase personal safety, self-manage symptoms, etc.
D. Start with lower systems, first before going to higher level systems such as narrative approaches involving cortical processing. Must calm the nervous system first. Look at physical feeling state of the body first, using sensory modulation approaches.

Q

MBCT

A

In the 10 years since the publication of the MBCT manual, research has primarily been focused on addressing MBCT’s effectiveness. Data from 6 randomized controlled trials (N=593) indicate that MBCT is associated with a 44% reduction in depressive relapse risk compared with usual care for patients with three or more previous episodes. In head-to head comparisons with antidepressants, MBCT provides effects comparable to staying on a maintenance dose of antidepressants (See Piet and Hougaard, 2011. For people looking for a
psychosocial approach to staying well, MBCT appears to be accessible, acceptable and cost-effective. Based on this evidence, the National Institute for C
linical Excellence 2009 Depression Guideline recommended MBCT for people who are currently well but have experienced 3 or more episodes of depression.

How does MBCT work?
Several key studies suggest that MBCT for recurrent depression and
MBSR for chronic physical health problems do indeed change the processes they intend to and that changes in these processes are associated with changes in outcomes. For example, research embedded in one trial comparing MBCT with maintenance antidepressants showed that MBCT cultivates both mindfulness and self-compassion, and changes in mindfulness and compassion explained the changes in depressive symptoms 15 months later(Kuyken et al., ). Crucially, when people are able to be more self-compassionate at times of low mood, this breaks the link between reactivity and poorer outcomes a year later.

Q

case studies

A

Liz was admitted to an inpatient unit with symptoms of severe depression. “She felt as if she could hardly move, as if she had a 100 pound pack on her back. To think about making a decision precipitated panic. She worried that she would never get better and would continue to fall into what she described as a “black hole” and most interactions were negative statements about herself and her past, present, and future life. People on the unit stayed away from her and the staff avoided her or attempted to provide reality testing by reviewing how her life “really” was. She became more depressed and hopeless, certain that others hated her, did not understand her, and maybe were unable to help her” (Adapted from Cara and MacRae, 2013, p. 239).
• How would you approach Lizzie? What would you say to her?
• How would you engage her in therapy?
• What type of initial assessments would you consider?

Tae did not show up for the partial hospitalization occupational therapy group, “About Depression.”  When he was called by his therapist, he reported that he was still in bed, he had been there since Friday, and this was the first time he had answered the phone in three days.  He reported that he had been ruminating about h is lie and obsessively thinking that he had hurt another client because of his remarks in a community meeting at the program.  He felt as if he could hardly move from his house.   •	How would you respond to Tae? •	What concrete steps would you take to engage Tae in the program?

22
Q

PREVENTION AND TREATMENT of suicide

A

The roots of suicidal behavior lie in one’s genetic and biological vulnerability, the presence of psychiatric conditions and acute stress, and one’s temperament. Treating only one of these factors is likely to be ineffective min reducing a person’s suicide risk. In the clinical setting the assessment of suicide risk must precede any treatment of psychiatric conditions. Patients should be asked about suicidal thoughts or plans as a standard part of history taking. Other risk factors must also be evaluated: (a) the pervasiveness and severity of psychopathology; (b) the presence of severe anxiety, agitation, or irritability; (c) the presence of mixed states; (d) the presence and type of sleep disturbance; (e) current alcohol or drug use; (f) the occurrence of recent severe stress, such as divorce, employment loss, or death in the family; (g) a history of a previous suicide attempt; (h) a family history of suicidal or violent behavior; (i) close proximity to a first episode of depression, (i) close proximity to a first episode of depression, mania, or schizophrenia; (j) access to good medical and psychological treatment; (k) compliance with medication routine; (l) recent release from a psychiatric hospital; (m) the extent of the person’s hopelessness; (n) social isolation; and (o) access to a lethal means, such as guns (Mann et al.,1999). It is also necessary to obtain a history of a patient’s violent and impulsive behaviors–as these can facilitate suicide when combined with psychiatric states. While many patients are reluctant to acknowledge such behavior, patients should be asked whether or not they have a violent or quick temper; how commonly they find themselves in the midst of turbulent, combative relationships; and whether they experience frequent and pronounced irritability and impulsivity (Lott, 2000).
