Therapies
Therapies create an avenue for social workers to meet with their families and learn about their behavior patterns. Chapter nine of social works with families explain a direct practice scenario whereby an individual works directly with a family member. The chapter explains that the first meeting occurs in ways such as a crisis, voluntary and involuntary. The first meeting creates an avenue to build good relationships with the workers. Chapter nine of social workers with families resonates with the Behavioral, commonly known as cognitive-behavioral group therapy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy stands for evidenced-based therapies or therapies involved in talking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps therapists to identify disordered thinking and help them understand how it affects their lives. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps people identify specific skills essential in dealing with depression, anxiety, and addictions.
The video on how to write a behavioral intervention plan for Autism explains the six steps or components to a behavior plan. The six components include but are not limited to identifying the behavior to decrease or rather the target behavior. The next step is defining the behavior followed by the functions of the problem behavior. The functions in this scenario include access, avoidance, attention, and automatic. Step number four entails finding the replacement behavior, followed by step number five, that requires writing what you can do before the target behavior happens. The final step is a consequence. Step number five that requires a person to find what to do before the target behavior happens, really stood out. An example is throwing a tantrum to know what the child needs, like when they need a cookie. The implication is that everyone will be on the same page. For example, the child will not be going in the opposite direction in case it needs something.
