The Use of Group and Family Therapies for Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the use of group and family therapies for children with ADHD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) had been said to occur in anywhere up to 10 percent of the school age population in the United States with over 3 million cases reported in 2001. Traditional treatments have included prescribed stimulant medications such as Ritalin as the primary therapy with individual and group therapies as secondary treatment. Recently families who have children with ADHD and therapists have felt that in many cases children have been overly dependent and overly prescribed medications for ADHD and group and family therapies should play a larger role in treatment of the disorder and in some cases replacing medication therapy. Although group and family therapies have not all been successful in replacing medication therapy they are thought to be more beneficial to the child in combination with medication therapy than just medication therapy alone. The National Institute of Mental Health now recommends individual, group and family therapies in all cases of ADHD to help the child create better behavioral and social skills and help the families in their coping strategies and support networks. In addition, therapies which have included parent-child training techniques have proven to be successful in further developing behavioral skills in children with ADHD. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Therapeutic Containment: Techniques and Application
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing therapeutic containment. Therapeutic containment is a controlled and structured psychiatric therapy to help calm and stabilize children who experience anxiety, tantrums, insecurity or trauma. The idea for therapeutic containment is to provide the child with a temporary environment which will allow him to calm himself and feel safe and secure. Therapeutic containment is meant to be non-punitive and thus each technique is to allow temporary relief for the child in the hopes that the child will learn to internalize the feelings of containment into maturity. Containment techniques and skills include space manipulation in which children can be given a place to have a “time-out” if needed, routine management which will provide a structured environment in addition to the establishment of caretaker teamwork, rules, and at times, physical containment. Physical containment varies according to the child as holding a child who is upset may provide a calming effect on some, children who have been traumatized react more positively to containment techniques which involve some distance from adults. The reassurance therapeutic containment can give a child is beneficial to allowing the child time to experience feelings of safety and security needed in development. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
