Examples of intervention in the following topics:
-
- Depending on the type and severity of their disability, interventions and technology may be used to help the individual learn strategies that will foster future success.
- Some interventions can be quite simple, while others are intricate and complex.
- Teachers, parents, and schools can work together to create a tailored plan for intervention and accommodation to aid an individual in successfully becoming an independent learner.
- School psychologists and other qualified professionals often help design and manage such interventions.
-
- Assessing the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions is important for determining which therapies are the most beneficial, and for which types of disorders and/or individuals.
- Often, people will be randomly allocated to an "intervention" group (for example, those that receive the medication being studied) and a "non-intervention" group (those that do not receive the medication, or receive a placebo instead).
- RCTs are often used to test the efficacy or effectiveness of various types of medical intervention and may provide information about adverse effects, such as drug reactions.
- Random assignment of intervention is done after subjects have been assessed for eligibility and recruited, but before the intervention to be studied begins.
- In a randomized controlled trial, people are randomly assigned to different groups that are receiving different treatment or no treatment at all, in order to study the effects of various treatment interventions.
-
- Their research often focuses on prevention and intervention programs designed to promote healthier lifestyles (e.g., exercise and nutrition programs).
- Community health psychology also develops community-level interventions that are designed to combat disease and promote physical and mental health.
-
- It examines the effectiveness of various educational interventions, the psychology of teaching, and the social aspect of schools.
- Educational and school psychologists can use these stages to assess how children learn and what interventions are necessary to help them progress most effectively.
-
- Studies have shown that rumination and
worry contribute to mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, and that
meditation-based interventions are effective in the reduction of worry, even in
such extreme cases as panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- These interventions also appear to bring about favorable structural changes in
the brain.
- Another study describes how
meditation-based interventions target neurocognitive mechanisms of addiction.
-
- Assessing the child's safety is an essential first step that determines whether future intervention can take place in the family unit or whether the child should be removed to a safe situation.
- Interventions may include psychosocial support services for the family unit (including financial or domestic aid, housing, and social work support), psychotherapeutic interventions (including treating parents for mental illness, family therapy, individual therapy), education (including training in basic parenting skills and child development), and monitoring of the child's safety within the family environment.
-
- Similarly, the 2011 European Psychiatric Association (EPA) guidance on prevention of mental disorders states that "There is considerable evidence that various psychiatric conditions can be prevented through the implementation of effective evidence-based interventions."
- Early intervention through counseling can help minimize the progression of one or more of these mental health issues.
- These methods include interventions that prevent relapse, promote rehabilitation, and reduce the nature of the disorder.
-
- Studies have revealed that surgical intervention can have drastic psychological effects, impact well-being and quality of life, and does not ensure a successful psychological outcome for the child.
- Specialists at the Intersex Clinic at University College London began to publish evidence in 2001 that indicated the harm that can arise as a result of inappropriate interventions, and advised minimizing the use of childhood surgical procedures.
-
- Treatments for addiction usually involve planning for specific ways to avoid the addictive stimulus and/or therapeutic interventions intended to help a client learn healthier ways to find satisfaction.
- Clinical leaders in recent years have attempted to tailor intervention approaches to specific influences that affect addictive behavior, using therapeutic interviews in an effort to discover factors that led a person to embrace unhealthy, addictive sources of pleasure or relief from pain.
- Several evidenced-based intervention programs have emerged, including behavioral marital therapy, community reinforcement approaches, cue exposure therapy, and contingency management strategies.
-
- Psychotherapy integration can be differentiated from an eclectic approach, in which a therapist chooses interventions because they work, without looking for a theoretical basis for using the technique.
