Document Summary
Internal: self-defeating thoughts about her prospects for staving off crying spells in treatment. External: lack of funds to pay for treatment. We ask ourselves questions when trying to sort out whether or not to seek help. Ego syntonic disorders: symptoms are perceived by the person as valued or advantageous. Ego dystonic disorders: symptoms are perceived by the person as undesirable. Possible relapse: the full re-emergence of old unhealthy patterns of behaviours (person goes back to precontemplation) Licensed psychologists: specific training and certification in clinical or counselling psychology. Psychiatrists: medical doctors who have advanced training and certification in the practice of psychiatry. There are many more professionals who can offer psych treatments: social workers, counsellors, mental health workers, marriage and family counsellors . A key factor that has an important effect of treatment outcome is the therapeutic relationship between therapist and patient. Therapeutic relationship is categorized on the quality of available evidence.
