10. Summary of the results of the thesis:

By conducting a case study, with long-term follow-up, using diagnostic tests and evaluating treatment effectiveness on adolescent patients, I have drawn the following conclusions:

In my clinical case, family therapy intervention plays an important role in helping the client heal psychological wounds. This is especially true when part of the client's problem comes from family factors. Therefore, the cooperation of the young family in the therapeutic intervention process for the client plays an extremely important role. However, during the course of the case, meeting all parents in the sessions with parents is still difficult. This may stem from the cultural factor in Vietnamese families that the mother is responsible for taking care of the child's health, so in most sessions I only work with the client's mother. This also affects the effectiveness of the therapy process to some extent.

Another factor when implementing clinical interventions is that I found that having clients rate their emotions before and after each session made clients feel less interested in doing the above activity.

The client is of school age, the main activity is studying, so the activities that make him happier, more active are poor and not very interesting. The patient tends to not do old tasks when moving to a new skill and having to perform new tasks.

In addition, due to time constraints, therapists have not closely monitored this, which affects the effectiveness of the treatment. The structure of the therapy sessions is not really balanced and attractive to attract the participation of patients, and has not created many needs to feel the need to do it in them.

Although there are difficulties and shortcomings when performing clinical cases as above, but basically I see positive changes in the client when performing therapy, especially when consulting skills such as listening, giving feedback, or skills showing empathy when working with the client's problems make the client feel more comfortable and at ease. The activities of cognitive and behavioral therapy help the client restructure his or her thinking and help the client have more realistic activities in daily life, which helps the client's spirit and emotions to be more comfortable. This is clearly shown when the client's symptoms of sadness and fatigue are somewhat improved, the client's facial expression is brighter, when interacting with the client, I see that he or she has social smiles, which shows the client's satisfaction after the treatment process.

11. Practical application:

From there, it shows the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy for cases of adolescent depression. On that basis, it proposes appropriate techniques in cognitive behavioral therapy for cases of adolescent depression. Through this, it also emphasizes the role of psychotherapy in the intervention of psychological disorders.

10. Summary of these results:

By conducting case studies, long-term follow-up, using diagnostic tests and assessing treatment effects in adolescent patients. I draw the following conclusion:

In the case of a clinical case, family factor therapy plays an important role in assisting clients to heal their wounds. Especially when part of the problem of the client comes from family factor. Therefore, the cooperation of young families in treatment interventions for clients plays a very important role. However, during the shift, there are difficulties for parents to meet all parents. This may be due to the cultural factor in Vietnamese families that mothers are more responsible for their children's health care, so most of the sessions I can only work with my mother. of the customer. This also partially affects the effectiveness of the treatment process.

Another factor when doing the intervention for the clinical case was that the client scored emotionally before and after each session, making the client not really interested in conducting the above activity.

The client is of school age, the main activity is learning so activities that make him happier, more active are poor and do not have much interest. Patients tend not to do old tasks when transitioning to a new skill and having to perform new tasks.

Besides, the therapist is also limited in time so he has not closely checked this result in affecting the effectiveness of therapy. The structure of the sessions was not really symmetrical and attractive to attract the participation of patients, did not create many needs that felt necessary to do in the children.

Although there are difficulties and obstacles during the above clinical practice, I basically see the positive changes of the client during the procedure. especially when consulting skills such as listening, giving feedback, or showing empathy when dealing with client issues make the client feel more comfortable and comfortable. Cognitive and behavioral activities help the client to restructure their thoughts and help them to have more honest activities in their daily life, which helps the client's spirit and emotions. more comfortable. This is clearly shown when the symptoms of sadness, fatigue of the client are somewhat improved, the mood on the client's face is fresher, when contacting the client, he saw that he had social smiles. This association demonstrates client satisfaction after treatment.
