  1. Therapeutic inertia

    Therapeutic inertia also known as clinical inertia is a measurement of the resistance to Therapy therapeutic treatment for an existing medical condition . It is commonly measured as a percentage of the number of encounters in which a patient with a condition received new or increased therapeutic treatment out of the total number of visits to a health care professional by the patient. A high percentage indicates that the health care provider is slow to treat a medical condition. A low percentage indicates that a provider is extremely quick in prescribing new treatment at the onset of any medical condition. Calculation There are two common methods used in calculating therapeutic inertia. For the following examples, consider that a patient has five visits with a health provider. In four of those visits, a condition is not controlled such as Hypertension high blood pressure or Hypercholesterolemia high cholesterol . In two of those visits, the provider made a change to the patient s treatment for the condition.

For instance, medication with a small pharmaceutical window such as Carbamazepine Tegretol must be administered with care and control, e.g. by frequently measuring blood concentration of the drug, since it easily gives adverse effects such as agranulocytosis ref https online.epocrates.com u 10a1285 Tegretol Bot generated title ref . More specifically, it is the range between the Effective dose pharmacology ED sub 50 sub and the starting point of TD50 TD sub 50 sub curve . It is believed that this index can help to avoid most of the potential adverse effect side effect s. ref Cite web title Therapeutic window Everything2 url http www.everything2.com index.pl?node id 938353 ref It is worth noting that the window can vary by situation.

  1. Therapeutic nihilism

    Unreferenced date August 2011 About pessimism regarding therapy other uses Nihilism disambiguation Therapeutic nihilism is a contention that curing people, or societies, of their ills by treatment is impossible. In medicine, it was connected to the idea that many cures do more harm than good, and that one should instead encourage the body to heal itself. Michel de Montaigne espoused this view in his Essais . This position was later popular, among other places, in France in the 1820s and 1830s, but has mostly faded away in the modern era due to the development of provably effective medicines such as antibiotics , starting with the release of Sulfonamide medicine sulfonamide in 1936. Cn span A variant of the belief is still held by many people who practice homeopathy and other forms of alternative medicine . date February 2012 In relation to society, it was the idea that nothing can be done to cure society of the problems facing it. It was never mainstream thought and did not grow beyond its origins in early 20th century Germany. It had no main proponent save for the novelist Joseph Conrad whose writings reflect the theory. Citation needed date February 2007 The phrase therapeutic nihilism is also included in a modern version of the Hippocratic Oath , traditionally taken by physicians upon graduation. The statement is I will apply for the benefit of the sick, all measures that are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

  1. Therapeutic relationship

    The therapeutic relationship , also called the helping alliance, the therapeutic alliance, and the working alliance, refers to the relationship between a healthcare professional and a patient client or patient . It is the means by which a therapist and a client hope to engage with each other, and effect beneficial change in the client. Research While much early work on this subject was generated from a psychodynamic perspective, researchers from other orientations have since investigated this area. It has been found to predict treatment adherence compliance and concordance and clinical endpoint outcome across a range of client patient diagnoses and treatment settings. Research on the statistical power of the therapeutic relationship now reflects more than 1,000 findings. ref Orlinsky, D. E., Ronnestad, M. H., Willutski, U. 2004 .

  1. Therapeutic effect

    A therapeutic effect is a consequence of a medical treatment of any kind, the results of which are judged to be desirable and beneficial. This is true whether the result was expected, unexpected, or even an unintended consequence of the treatment. An adverse effect , on the other hand, is a harmful and undesired effect. What constitutes a therapeutic effect versus a side effect is a matter of both the nature of the situation in which a treatment is used and the goals of treatment. There is no inherent difference between therapeutic and undesired side effects both responses are behavioral physiologic changes which occur as a response to the treatment strategy or agent. The most common nominal reason for preferring certain effects is avoiding death. However, those changes which are viewed as desirable, given the situation, are called therapeutic those undesirable for the situation are viewed as unfavorable. Scope of treatments Many people think of therapeutic and undesired side effects as only applying to medication s, drug s or Dietary supplement supplement s, perhaps because pharmacology ..., at least at a conscious or group awareness level.

  1. Therapeutic metaphor

    inline date December 2010 Neuro linguistic programming Therapeutic metaphor is a type of conceptual metaphor presented as a story or other parallel to an entire aspect of a situation, related by a psychotherapy psychotherapist to a patient. The purpose of this is to highlight to a person, in an effective way, some aspects and lessons that otherwise they might not be able to perceive as clearly in their current situation, or to suggest new outlooks on it. Thus a therapist, told about the death of a loved one, might respond by describing two roses in a garden, one of which is dug up. Uses Marsha M. Linehan Marsha Linehan highlights the utility of metaphor in her work with patients with borderline personality disorder the use of metaphor, in the form of simple analogies, anecdotes, parables, myths or stories, is extremely important in dialectical behavioral therapy DBT . Metaphors are also alternative means of teaching dialectical thinking and opening up possibilities of new behaviors. They encourage both patient and therapist to look for and create alternate meanings and points of reference for events under scrutiny. Her metaphors for radical acceptance is like being a gardener learning to love the dandelions that come into the garden year after year, no matter what the gardener does to get rid of them and therapy interfering behavior is like a mountain climber refusing to wear winter gear when climbing in the snow and suicidal behavior is like the mountain climber jumping off the mountain, sometimes with the rope still tied to the guide are particularly illustrative of the uses she has for metaphor.
