Week 9: Group Therapy for Addiction
\nConsider the following scenario:<\/p>\n
The psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner is working for a community health clinic that offers state mandated \u201cintensive outpatient rehabilitation\u201d services for individuals who face incarceration for driving while under the influence. Mr. Smith, a 24-year-old male patient, shows up for his initial intake appointment and says, \u201cLook, this sounds like it\u2019s going to be an AA meeting. Can\u2019t I just go there? I only had a couple of drinks. I don\u2019t know why the judge was such a jerk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clients with addictive disorders may present for therapy for various reasons. Some, like Mr. Smith, attend because it is court mandated. Some attend because family or friends have pushed them to do so, while others may attend because life has become unmanageable. Regardless of clients\u2019 reasons for presenting for therapy, to reach these clients and effectively treat them, you must be able to break down barriers, establish relationships, and help them see the benefits of this therapeutic approach.<\/p>\n
This week, you explore psychotherapeutic approaches to group therapy for addiction.<\/p>\n

Assignment: Psychotherapeutic Approaches to Group Therapy for Addiction
\nWhen selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for a client, you must consider the unique needs and characteristics of that particular client. The same is true when selecting a psychotherapeutic approach for groups. Not every approach is appropriate for every group, and the group\u2019s unique needs and characteristics must be considered. For this Assignment, you examine psychotherapeutic approaches to group therapy for addiction.<\/p>\n
Learning Objectives
\nStudents will:
\nEvaluate psychotherapeutic approaches to group therapy for addiction
\nTo prepare:
\nReview this week\u2019s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on group therapy for addiction.
\nView the media, Levy Family: Sessions 1-7, and consider the psychotherapeutic approaches being used.
\nThe Assignment
\nIn a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:<\/p>\n
Identify the psychotherapeutic approach that the group facilitator is using and explain why she might be using this approach.
\nDetermine whether or not you would use the same psychotherapeutic approach if you were the counselor facilitating this group and justify your decision.
\nIdentify an alternative approach to group therapy for addiction and explain why it is an appropriate option.
\nSupport your position with evidence-based literature.
\nNote: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The sample paper provided by the Walden Writing Center provides examples of those required elements (available at http:\/\/writingcenter.waldenu.edu\/57.htm). All papers submitted must use this formatting.<\/p>\n
