Psigoterapeutiese hantering van perfeksionisme / Psychotherapeutic handling of perfectionismVan Vuuren, Elmarie Janse 01 January 2002 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / The purpose of this study was to determine the nature, origin and negative consequences of perfectionism and to set guidelines for the therapeutic handling of perfectionism.
Two literature studies were done to investigate the phenomenon and therapeutic techniques with regards to perfectionsim. A questionnaire was developed as aid to the therapist to identify negative perfectionism and associated problem areas. An empirical study was done to investigate the effectivity of the questionnaire and to compose a program and guidelines for the therapist and perfectionist.
Results of the study indicated that negative perfectionism resulted in affective, cognitive, interpersonal and behavioural consequences for the client. It further showed that it is necessary to find the origin of the client's perfectionism and to give them insight in their problem to enable the therapist to succesfully apply cognitive behavioral therapy. / Educational Studies / M.

Integrated community-based management of severe acute child malnutrition : Studies from rural Southern EthiopiaTadesse, Elazar January 2016 (has links)
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the community-based Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) as a standard treatment protocol for the management of uncomplicated Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) at the community level. OTP has been scaled up and integrated into the existing grassroots level government health systems in several developing countries. The aim of this thesis was to assess the implementation and outcome of a scaled-up and integrated OTP service provided at community level. Methods: One qualitative study and three quantitative studies were conducted in southern Ethiopia. Children admitted to 94 integrated OTPs, their caregivers and health extension workers providing primary health care services in the nearby health posts were included in this study. The quantitative studies were based on data generated from observation of a cohort of 1,048 children admitted to the integrated OTPs. Result: On admission 78.8% of the children had SAM. The majority of these children 60.2% exited the program neither achieving program recovery criteria nor being transferred to inpatient care. Fourteen weeks after admission to OTP, 34.6% were severely malnourished and 34.4% were moderately malnourished, thus 69.0% were still acutely malnourished. Ready-to-use Therapeutic Foods (RUTFs) provided for SAM children were commonly shared with other children in the household and sold as a commodity for the collective benefit of the family thus admitted children received only a portion of the provided amount. Further, the program suffered a severe shortage of RUTFs, where only 46.6% of admitted children were given the recommended amount of RUTFs by providers on admission and only 34.9% of these had uninterrupted provision during the follow-up. Conclusion: The integrated OTPs we studied provide a constrained service and the use of RUTFs by families is not as intended by the program. The majority of admitted children remained acutely malnourished after participating in the program for the recommended duration. For integrated OTPs to be effective in chronically food-insecure contexts, interventions that also address the economic and food needs of the entire household are essential. This may require a shift to view SAM as a symptom of broader problems affecting a family rather than as a disease of an individual child. In addition, further research is needed to understand the health system context regarding RUTFs and medication supply and service utilization of integrated OTPs.

Chess as a therapeutic medium in a substance abuse rehabilitation centre : a narrative studyFrick, Denise 30 April 2008 (has links)
This research project is a narrative study on the use of chess as a therapeutic medium in a substance abuse rehabilitation centre. Stabilis Treatment Centre served as the rehabilitation centre where the data was collected and the therapeutic sessions conducted. In this research report I introduced Stabilis Treatment Centre by exploring and providing an overview of their existing programmes. I have stated the research problem and the subsequent research question and goals. A literature review is included where information with regards to drug abuse, exercise psychology and the use of chess in various contexts is provided. The research methodology is examined and narrative practice is introduced and explored. The three participants in this research project are introduced and their experiences of playing chess are explored and extended to their experiences of life and relevant situations. This process is documented in letter format where I as researcher wrote letters to each participant reflecting on their experiences of using chess to narrate their personal narratives. This research project concludes where I summarize the results of this study as well as providing recommendations for future studies. / Dissertation (MA (Counselling Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Psychology / unrestricted

A therapeutic programme for the rehabilitation of youth offendersNieman, Annelien 06 1900 (has links)
The judicial system is moving away from a retributive justice system to a more rehabilitative,
restorative justice system. Diverting youth offenders from the justice system by alternative
sentencing options such as diversion programmes is one way of doing this. Jt was found that a
need exists for the development of a therapeutic programme for the rehabilitation of youth
offenders in South Africa. The purpose of the study was to detennine the content of
therapeutic rehabilitation programme and subsequently to develop a provisional therapeutic
programme for youth offenders.
The first part of the literature study summarized a number of theories used to explain the
incidence of youth offence. The second part of the literature study discussed various risk
factors that could lead to youth offence. Thirdly, the juvenile justice system in South Africa
was discussed. Finally, the characteristics of effective rehabilitation programmes were
discussed and a number of international and South African rehabilitation programmes were
evaluated in tenns ofthese characteristics. In the literature study certain aspects for inclusion
in a rehabilitation programme were identified. A list of topics that should be addressed by a
rehabilitation programme was drawn up.
A provisional therapeutic programme was compiled using the information gained from the
literature study and the needs for a programme as identified by staff members at the facility
where the programme was to be conducted. The programme was based on experiential learning. lt included a number of activities that addressed the topics identified by the literature
study. The provisional programme was evaluated in tenns of its short-term effectiveness and
adjustments to the programme were made.
The adjusted programme was conducted at two other facilities and evaluated in tenns of its
short-term effectiveness by the researcher, the staff at these facilities and the youth who took
part in the programme. Staff at the two facilities where the empirical study took place were
asked to complete questionnaires to identify their needs with regards to a rehabilitation
programme as well as background questionnaires on the youth who were taking part in the
programme. Recommendations for further improvements of the programme were made. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
