Psychotherapy and Psychosocial Interventions

All psy­chother­a­peu­tic inter­ven­tions used are cul­tur­al­ly rel­e­vant, sim­ple in their approach, and are deliv­ered in patient’s lan­guage (Eng­lish, Urdu, Pun­jabi, Serai­ki, Potho­hari). These psy­chother­a­peu­tic inter­ven­tions are used to han­dle issues with­out use of med­ica­tion.  This type of psy­cho­log­i­cal inter­ven­tion helps answer ques­tions, queries, and con­cerns, of patients and their fam­i­lies in the com­fort and lin­gua of understanding.

The psy­cho­log­i­cal inter­ven­tions used are evi­dence based, sci­en­tif­ic, and inter­na­tion­al­ly accept­ed. Using cog­ni­tive and behav­ior ther­a­py pro­to­cols suit­ed to the patient’s belief sys­tem, and his or her real­i­ties of life, to live a mean­ing­ful and hap­pi­er life.

Meaningful Informational Care

These include removal of myths and mis­con­cep­tions about the dis­ease, med­ica­tions being used and the like­ly out­comes in the short and long run. Using sci­en­tif­ic evi­dence based lat­est data the ther­a­pist aims to answer ques­tions relat­ed to caus­es, side effects, and haz­ards of treat­ment, the impact on diet, sex life, trans­mis­sion of dis­ease to next gen­er­a­tion, and ‘parhez’.  Infor­ma­tion­al care equips the patient and his fam­i­ly to make sci­en­tif­i­cal­ly root­ed, sound deci­sions for his men­tal health issues.

Psy­cho­sex­u­al dif­fi­cul­ties: Through an absolute adher­ence to ethics of con­fi­den­tial­i­ty, benef­i­cence and non-malef­i­cence, issues relat­ed to sex­u­al per­for­mance, sex­u­al preference,

Con­flict Res­o­lu­tion: Indi­vid­ual, fam­i­lies, groups, office set­tings, organ­i­sa­tions have the poten­tial to get into seri­ous con­flicts that can impede per­for­mance and out­puts as well as threat­en men­tal health. Using mod­ern prin­ci­ples of com­mu­ni­ca­tion root­ed in the­o­ry of Trans­ac­tion­al Analy­sis, sim­ple, prac­ti­cal, and tan­gi­ble tools are sug­gest­ed to resolve con­flicts ensur­ing per­son­al respect and dignity.

Behav­ior Ther­a­py: This ther­a­py works to over­come ani­mal, sit­u­a­tion­al and social pho­bias which can be some­times most dis­abling and fear of open places, mar­kets, heights, flights etc can con­fine a suf­fer­er to his or her home, or else lim­it his pursuits.

Chil­drea­r­ing Issues, Ado­les­cent and child-relat­ed psy­chi­atric and man­age­ment issues: Psy­chother­a­peu­tic prin­ci­ples based on sim­ple child rear­ing prin­ci­ples are intro­duced to par­ents and or offspring’s to man­age day to day con­flicts and alter­ca­tions in the name of ‘gen­er­a­tion gap’.

Settings for Psychiatric Interventions
