Article review
I agree with the classmate’s post that stresses on treating patients appropriately who have undergone traumatic experiences. It depends on therapist’s ability of handling such patients (Levenson, 2017). Any negligence or lack of expertise can undermine the possible chances of improving the health of patients. I agree that the social worker have to understand the concerns of issues of the clients by considering their problematic experiences of the past. I think social workers have a positive role in rebuilding the identity of such people who have undergone traumatic experiences. I agree with the post that they need to learn how they could respond to the patients that would enhance their mental state.
I agree that social workers have the responsibility of offering safe environment to the patients. They must ensure patients that they can trust the social worker as their information will be kept confidential. They can also help clients by telling them the effective coping mechanisms and ways of overcoming trauma (Levenson, 2017). I agree that exposure to different environments and settings can help clients in getting rid of their problematic experiences and negative feelings.
I agree with the post that safety and trust could improve the feelings of the patients. This is an effective way of helping patients in improving their behaviors and personality. Social workers have roles in building social and survival skills in clients who have troubled past. I think that that social workers must realize their responsibility for bringing best results.
