Leadership Styles Exhibited During A Mental Health Clinical

Leadership Styles Exhibited During a Mental Health Clinical Courtney Palazzolo Professor Venice During my mental health and psychiatric clinical rotation, one of the tasks I had to perform was assembling a group meeting for the patients on the unit. This type of clinical was completely different than previous clinicals. In the past, clinical consisted of medical interventions such as head to toe assessments, administering medications, and helping a patient ambulate. The focus of this clinical was quite different. Interventions focused more on the patient’s mental well-being and having the ability to not only interact with patients, but make them feel comfortable enough to express all and any type of feelings. After weeks of conversing with different patients, there were a few overall recurring concerns each patient had. They felt it difficult at times to turn negative situations or thoughts into positives and in turn this contributed to elevated levels of stress. With this in mind, I decided to conduct my group around cognitive behavioral therapy, reframing though ts, and positive affirmations. These three topics combined not only could help the patients change their negative thought processes, but they can be used as a guide to help them in the future. This was a group project that consisted of me and another person from my clinical. My colleague and I both researched all three topics so we would be equally as knowledgeable about them.

An infant’s attachment to their primary caregiver establishes a sense of security, through protection, so the infant is able to explore the world with confidence and without threat and risk. During a child’s â€Å"sensitive period†, which according to Bowlby occurs during the first nine months of an infant’s life, the attachment bond should be continuous and of an emotional importance (Connors, 2011).

From these two theoretical perspectives on clinical disorders, a new cognitive-behavioral approach to obsessions and compulsions was born. In many respects, my own professional development has taken a path similar to that seen in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for obsessional states.
