Application of Psychological Therapy Principles Procrastinating is the behavior that I would like to do more since it puts me into two halves, presenting myself both in the present and the future. While procrastinating, I usually make plans for my future self by envisioning the good things that I want to have in my life.

PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH GROUPS AND FAMILIES The use of CBT in groups indicated more significant rates and minimal OCD symptom prevalence than those under PRT. On the other hand, there is a decreasing family utilization of FCBT than PRT, as proved by secondary examination. Adjustments resulting from family accommodation followed decreased CYBOCS symptom severity in cases of PRT as well as FCBT, leading to improvement of a child’s reported dysfunction. This became one of the leading controlled explanations of changes in family circumstances and resulted in a clinical sample. Findings from the analysis provide further explanations on family processes that affect medication results for children with OCD. Evidence is presented on families with OCD and is thought to reduce the effectiveness of the use of CBT. Moreover, early preventive measures to shift family settings have led to adverse outcomes. The findings are significant since they give the initial evidence that medication combined with child CBT and family prevention improves OCD-related dysfunctions (Block & Johnson, 2016).

Mainly, it profoundly enhanced my awareness of the best mechanisms to use in articulating clinical psychology to foster the long-term well-being of both the psychologist and their patients. One critical point that I will take away from the book was the recommendation by the author for therapists to “give themselves time between patients” (Irvin, 2009).

This situation arises because it permits therapists to allocate an adequate amount of time to address the critical and unique needs of their patients comprehensively to foster healing. In so doing, it enhances the quality of a therapy, which is crucial in empowering both the patient and therapist to attain closure hence move forward with confidence. The second notable point that I will take…
