Bi-weekly Practicum Journaling

Every two weeks, you will submit a reflective journal to the discussion forum for review by course faculty and your classmates. All are expected to engage and support one another by sharing these experiences in a supportive, constructive, and professional environment. Journaling is an active learning technique that is meant to enhance reflective practice (Blake, 2005). Reflective practice involves looking back over what has happened in the practice setting in an effort to improve performance or to encourage professional growth (Ruth-Sahd, 2003).

Your Weekly Practicum Journal is:

• A personal, introspective subjective account of your practicum experience and how your practicum experience relates to Healthy People 2020 and course objectives. Include events that occurred in your practicum experience, and be sure to describe your thoughts and feelings about those events. How did your perceptions change? What did you learn that was unexpected? Describe your thinking about your thoughts and feelings regarding the new learning you experienced.
• Connected to South University’s College of Nursing Conceptual Framework Pillars (Caring, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism, and Holism).
• Connected to prior coursework and experiences through reflective analysis.
• Written in a scholarly, academic style using APA style format. Two or three sentences are not sufficient nor are daily logs/reports of activities.

As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Support your work, using your course lectures and textbook readings. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the South University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Family Versus Individual Settings

         Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) posits maladaptive behavior and dysfunctional thoughts that relate to self, others, and the

world that are rooted in illogical or irrational assumptions. This individual view of the world, self, and others are central to the

determination of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and by changing these, behavior can also be changed.  (Wheeler, 2014). 

According to Patterson (2014), family therapy is usually focused on behavioral outcomes which when it comes to cognitive-

behavioral therapy (CBT), the term behavior tends to be the primary focus. Wheeler (2014) states that CBT can also be further broken

down into primary and secondary thinking which is a structured hierarchy. Cognitive processes are understood as

primary secondary with primary thinking recognizing negative, intermittent, and irrational thinking as an ongoing human action.

Secondary thinking views the cultural and social world in a more positive, rational, and determinant term.  

         Therapeutic alliance has been identified as one of the most important factors in individual therapy of any kind (Nichols and Davis,

2020) It is, however, more difficult to establish a therapeutic alliance in family or group therapy due to a number of different reasons

such as an increased number of participants with individual thoughts and feelings.  Assessment is a pivotal part of CBT and

the advantages of a behavioral emphasis are that it can provide definitive goals, baseline data, and a reliable way to measure

therapeutic success. Certain disadvantages are that by using a structured environment in family therapy, the active family interactions

can not be viewed. All that is seen is individual patient reports (Nichols and Davis, 2020).    

         A study by Thimm and Antonsen (2014) examined the effectiveness of group CBT for depression in a routine outpatient setting,

looking also at predictors of dropout and response. Results suggested a large reduction in anxiety and depression among

participants who received CBT with these observed results maintained at a three-month follow-up. CBT is a very effective therapy with

individual clients but can prove to be challenging in group and family settings.  The video of the Johnson Family Session (2013c) 

is an example of a group of women who had experienced similar trauma but had very different thoughts and feelings about

the experience.  The therapist may find the establishment of a trusting therapeutic alliance somewhat difficult in this situation.
