Recurrent unexpected panic attacks with somatic symptoms such as: Palpitations, trembling, fear of dying, sweating, derealisation and fear of losing control (Dias & Thuret, 2016). B. At least one of the attacks has been followed by 1 month (or more) of one or both of the following: Persistent concern and worry about self and a significant maladaptive change of behaviours (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). C. The disturbance is not better explained by another mental illness ❑ Ruth has panic disorder based on the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria since she exhibits the somatic signs expressed in the above criteria (Dias & Thuret, 2016). ❑ BEHAVIORAL THEORY IN THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING OF RUTH Behavioral theory is based on the principle that behaviors are learned (Trauer et al., 2015). ❑ For Ruth, it is essential to counsel her on behavior change. ❑ Panic disorder is developed from advanced fear and phobias (Trauer et al., 2015). ❑ Environmental exposure and stimulants are supposed to be made into practice. ❑ Interventions and recommendations ❑ Ruth should be exposed to the stimuli which causes the panic. ❑ Constant exposure will bring a general regress of the panic behavior (Trauer et al., 2015). ❑ Emotional support is key in helping Ruth. G ESTALT THEORY IN THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING OF RUTH  The Gestalt theory makes considerations of totality in handling humans.  It views the human being as a whole instead of specific aspects and views of the person like Ruth in this case.  It therefore introduces a holistic approach towards mental health.  One must get to understand how Ruth’s mind processes the relationships of the different sets of reality in order to establish solution for her and the is what gestalt theory brings to the this process.  According to DSM-V Ruth suffers from a panic disorder. KEY PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES OF GESTALT THEORY  Holistic consideration – Ruth’s mind should be considered holistically and not in isolation of different schools of thoughts as well as elements of reality. Her condition is a result of the connection of different elements of reality and the solution is based in understanding them.  Active understanding of reality – Human beings have differences in how each perceives reality based n previous knowledge and experience and that is what sets Ruth aside (Guberman, 2015). Her disorder arises from perceived information and experience and hinders her from adapting to new situations.  Perception – perception is how knowledge is acquired, processed and understood then applied accordingly. APPLICATION: INTERVENTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Gestalt Therapy:  Gestalt theory according to DSM-V should be a solution to panic disorder.  It entails creating an environment of comfort for Ruth to share her realities.  Understanding reality is the first step into the solution.  It is based on the Kantian ideal of not knowing how things are in reality until they are experienced hence complexity of individual knowledge and experience (Delisle, 2018).  The therapy establishes a sense of identity restoring confidence and awareness hence loosing the disorder gradually (Rhyne, 2016).  Practice and experience should be key over time.
