Therapy

Introduction

In medicine, treatment or therapy is the set of media of any kind, hygienic, pharmacological, surgical or physical processes whose purpose is to cure or relief (palliation) of disease or symptoms, when it has reached a diagnosis. Its synonyms are therapy, therapeutic, healing, and healing method. In addition to this, the therapeutics is in the modern view, the doctrine of the salvation process, which deals with the various forms of therapy, their effectiveness and their applications. This paper discusses therapy in a holistic context.

Discussion

The therapy has sought to influence the natural history of disease from a symptomatic standpoint, patho-physiological and etiological, the latter approach is probably the most effective and the most desired. In therapy, we distinguish:

The general treatment, which is based on the overall condition of the patient.

The special treatment that addresses specific details of the treatment.

People often seek therapy when they have a problem and not being effective in solving it and get what they need from their environment.

The goal of therapy is to achieve a desired situation, different and better by changing what is necessary to do so the person will increase their ability to solve problems and thus to adequately meet their needs in relation to itself and the environment (model of healthy and effective).

Often people, accepting their definition of the situation, are dedicated to locate the cause of their ineffectiveness to solve problems in the external environment or any inadequacy in constitutional and therefore unchanging self or both.

In therapy, the relationship between therapist and client or between the client and the group is structured so that all are expected to interact (conducting business) so as to meet the definition of healthy and effective (Kidd, 2005).

Types of therapies:

There are various types of therapies, some of which are as follows:

Causal if it eliminates the cause of disease-causing or seeking at least (for example, the bacteria responsible of bacterial pneumonia with antibiotics combat right)

Symptomatic when they are available only on alleviating symptoms and not the triggering cause is directed (e.g., expectorant cough medicines for acute bronchitis or asthma spray in asthma-attack).

Curative when the recovery of the patient has (at least a defined illness) to the target

Palliative, if they merely symptoms or relieve complications preventing, without appearing to be against the underlying disease itself (eg, operational re overgrown expanse of malignant respiratory tract cancer for better breathing, but without the intention of healing)

Supportive (or fuzzy adjuvant), if the unwanted side effects of a (mostly anticancer) treatment may be treated (e.g., nausea relieving medications for nausea by cyto-toxic chemotherapy)

Calculated if based on experience (e.g. disproportionate burden in the general practice is not) or at risk of being killed is impractical to seek or wait for a definite diagnosis, and one begins to suspect the same treatment (for example, immediate administration of antibiotics in cases of suspected bacterial meningitis )

Electively when the time of surgery can be determined relatively free (as in many outpatient surgeries)

Frustrating when it is in vain (e.g. Frustrane revival )

Prophylactically, if it is the preventive treatment ...
