Psychotherapeutic Medication In Counselling Online Please read attached document for detailed instruction and responses. Please give detailed answers to each questions. Week 3 DQ#2
Read Psychotherapeutic Medications 2011: What Every Counselor Should Know, from the
topical resources. When would a counselor refer a client for a possible psychopharmacological

Professor: Treatment and recovery services
Can one still be in recovery and be in treatment? Or, can you be in treatment and have never
entered the recovery process? Of course! In fact, relapse may happen to folks in recovery
several times. That is often the rule, which means identifying triggers to reduce relapse potential
is crucial to staying sober and in recovery. Now, is long term treatment required to be in
recovery? I do think it is critical and imperative to state that a person in recovery does not need
to be in long term treatment; however, long term support in place such as maintence therapy,
which may be ongoing, e.g. outpatient individual counseling, supportive groups, and family
therapy is good to help balance anxiety and manage triggers.
My response:
Professor: Folks, when we think of metrics, instruments or measures that assess for alcohol and
other dual and or co-existing disorders, what are some respective principles and philosophies of
prevention, treatment, relapse, and recovery?
My response:
Professor: Scope of Practice
Folks, is it within a licensed mental health, intern counselor, even student counselor’s scope of
practice to be educated and aware of psychotropic pharmacological agents, e.g. atypical
antipsychotics, phenothiazine agents, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, such as lamotrigene or
lamictal, lithium, antiepileptics, benzodiazipines, and their impact in the CNS and ANS,
systemic functions?
