moral treatment movement leads improved treatment and services for the mentally ill
WWI creates need for restorative aides and rehabilitation services. OT begin working within the ,medical model and healthcare system.
medicare/medicaid programs become law and a trend towards deinstitutuionalization of people with mental illness
research reveal a biological basis for some behavioral disorders, development of effective psychiatric mediations. sensory integration and cognitive disabilities models are developed, the ADA law is passed
occupation science is developed, the WHO develops the ICF and the AOTA publishes the OT

-
frames of reference(6)
1. psychodynamic approach
freud-id,ego, superego
person's ability to love and to work
self-identity, interpersonal relationships
impacts all areas of occupation
observing clients doing a task has significant values. art project is frauedian.
-
psychodynamic approach
common elements of ego function
1.reality testing
egos ability to use perception and judgement to differentitate between internal needs and external demands
shaping and reshaping one's views
adapting to the environment
- OT/reality testing
- -consensual validation: members share their perceptions of themselves and the world with others
-exploring outer reality: concrete tasks-provide reality testing on a sensory level. manipulation of objects & materials provides sensory input; taste, touch, smell, vision, hearing and proprioception
- 2.sense of self X's 3
- -self-concept/self-identify-when the infant begins to differentiate self from mother.
- -body image-is the perception of one's physical self that form the basis of self-awareness
- -self-esteem-the subjective feeling on one's own ability
3.OT & thought processes
provide a secure and safe environment
problem solving/cognitive skills; cooking group
memory activities, word games, solitaire, reminiscing
comprise; sharing, taking turns, negotiating, problem solving through team activities
4.self-control
control the instinctual drives from the id
impulse control is encouraged
- OT groups:
- -consider others in the group
- -listen to them
- -wait your turn
- -share tools and material
5.defense mechanisms
ways of warding off anxiety and ensuring the safety and preservation of an intact ego
- denial-projection
- reationalization
- regression-idealization
- identification
- sublimation
- substitution
- compensation
- OT & defense mechanism
- -sublimation: rechanneling or unacceptable drives into constructiove activity
projection-parts are split off and projected onto an external object or person
mastery/competency-an organism's capactity to interact effectively with its environment, language and motor skills cognition and higher thought process.
function-a functiong adult is free of conflicts and fixations and is able to satisfy his needs and direct his drives in way that fit in with social environment and culture.
- ego is in control and defense mechanisms
- are not exaggerated
dyfunction-inadequate psychosexual development, the presence of conflicts and fixations, and imbalance
- these abnormal states produce symptoms of:
- neurosis
- psychosis
- character disorders
-
psychodynamic approach
Mosey's developmental groups
1. parallel
- lowest level
- side by side
- individual tasks
- little interaction
2.project
- taask accomplishment
- interaction w/ shared materials, tools, work
- interaction outside of task not expected(2 or more people to complete task)
3. egocentric-cooperative
- members select & implement task
- tasks are longer/social interaction
- members respond to one another's social & emotional needs
therapist facilitates this process
4. cooperative
member are encourgaged to identify & gratify each other's social/emotional needs w/ task accomplishment
5.mature
the therapist is a co-equal member
group members take on all necessary leadership roles to balance task accomplishment & and need satisfaction of members
ex: AA, weight watchers
-
Frames of reference
Behavioral cognitive continuum
abnormal behavior can be changed, if the practitioner changes the consequences of the behavior.
both normal & abnormal behavior is learned
basic assumptions:
observable & measurable-behavioral goals
conditioning & habits
shaping & chaining
reinforcement
rehearsal & practice, modeling, & reinforcement
behavioral concepts
behavioral goals & objectives
- reinforcement:
- -positive reinforcement is a reward
- -negative reinforcement, something desirable is removed
- rehearsal & practice
- -assertiveness training
- role-play
- -forum for practice & rehearsal of new behaviors in a safe/positive environment
- goals for OT
- 1.should be written in specific, measurable terms
- 2.set by client & therapist
- 3.progress towards goals is openly discussed with the group
learning theory is foundation for cognitive rehabilitation
Learning-relatively permanent change in behavior potentiality that results from experience and cannot be attributed to temporary body states induced by illness, fatigue, or drugs.
works best when information or task to be learned is meaningful
-
Behavioral FOR
Skill Acquisition
Role acquisition/behavioral
teaching of all daily living, work, and leisure skills as one participates in a variety of social and productive roles
- TX planning
- 1.Involve the patient in identifying problems and goals for treatment and evaluating progress. discuss
2. choose goals and activities that reflect the patient's interests, personal & cultural values, & present and future life roles. EX: ethnicity,, social class, culture
3.select goals and activities that provide a realistic challenge but are consistent with the patient's present level of ability
4. increase challenges and demands as the patient's capacity increases
5.present skills in their natural development sequence
6.the patient should always know what he is supposed to be learning and why
7.the patient shuld be made aware of the effects of his actions
8.skills need to be practiced repeatedly and then applied to new situations (generalization)
9.if a task is too complex or time consuming...teach one step at a time, but show the whole activity
10.people learn by imitating others
-
behavioral FOR
Skill acquisition
social skills training
- classification:
- -social skills can be grouped together as behaviors that are needed in a given situation, such as?
-skills grouped by content or purpose
generally, social skills can be classified into 4 groups
social skills
1.self-expressive
2.other-enhancing skills
3.assertive skills
4.communication skills
4 phases of social training sessions:
motivation
demonstration
practice
function
-
freuds defense mechanisms
Denial
refusing to believe something that causes anxiety
ex. a mother plans for her child who is a mentally retarded to be a doctor
projection
believing that an unacceptable feeling of one's own belongs to someone else
ex. self-isolating pt in a work group says that other patients won't talk to him
rationalization
making excuses for unacceptable behavior or feelings
ex: a teenager says he didnt do his homework becuz he didn't have the right kind of paper
conversion(unconscience)
conflicts turned into real physical symptoms
ex: a girl with poor coordination gets a migrane headache when it is time for volleyball
regression
functioning at a more primitive developmental level than previously; going back to an immature pattern of behavior
ex: a 7 year old child who is hospitalized for major surgery begins to walk on tiptoes and suck his thumb
compensation
efforts to make up for personal deficits; this can also be a conscious effort
ex: a woman, blind from birth, learns to travel w/o a cane or any other aid
-
Maslow's Hierarchy of needs
Self-actualization-need to accomplish personal goals
- esteem needs-need to be recognized by others.
- *many psychiatric patients have problems with work:
- little or no experience
no real understanding of the behaviors expected in a work setting
others may have cognitive disabilities that prevent them from making sense of work or the work environment
some fail over and over becuz they act w/o thinking, relate hostility, fail to organize their tasks or do not take responsibility for their behaviors
love and belongingness needs-to be accepted and loved, unconditionally
safety needs
physiological needs(lowestlevel)
FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, SLEEP, SEX, EXERCISE

-
stress management techniques

change the stressful situation
2.emotion-focused
change the stress rresponse to the situation
-physiological-aimed@ the bodies response to stress
-cognitive-aimed @ negative thoughts

time management
