Topic > Lindsay Lohan - 1366

Over the years, the name Lindsay Lohan has become synonymous with the description "troubled young starlet." She was first recognized as a budding young actress with promising potential, following the release of her first feature film The Parent Trap. He was only eleven years old in the Disney remake, but he turned a lot of heads. From 2002 to 2006, Lindsay starred in numerous films such as Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls, Herbie: Fully Loaded, and Just my Luck. Lindsay Lohan's fame status really increased after the mega box office hit Mean Girls. It grossed $129 million and made it very popular in US culture (Wikipedia, 2011). As a result of her popularity and our nation's obsession with the tabloids, she began to be hounded by paparazzi. Suddenly, he began to feel the pressure of living in the public eye and the scrutiny that comes with it. Meanwhile, he was experiencing a lot of family turmoil at home. Dina Lohan separated from Michael Lohan in 2005 and finalized the divorce in 2007. Lindsay reported that there was a lot of chaos in her childhood and she often found herself in the middle of her parents' problems as she tried to keep the peace (Wikipedia, 2011) . Over the years, he continued to have a difficult relationship with his father. In the midst of filming movies, Lindsay also began dabbling in the music industry. He released his debut album Speak in 2004. It received mixed reviews. However, it reached platinum status. Then he released his second album in December 2005 titled A Little More Personal (Raw). This album was not as successful as the first (Wikipedia, 2011).3Lindsay refocused on her acting career and...... middle of paper......accepting the stalking environment of paparazzi, may have the chance to experience what it feels like to live without drug addiction. However, I feel that this treatment plan may be difficult to initiate with Lindsay due to her acting career. Nonetheless, his career has been on hold for a while now, so what's another two years? Many times several approaches are combined to treat substance abuse and addiction (Comer, 2010, p. 317). Therefore, if the sociocultural approach alone proves insufficient, I would add psychodynamic therapy that can help clients become aware of and correct the underlying needs and conflicts that led to the disorder in the first place (Comer, 2010, p. 310) . I think this will help my treatment plan be more inclusive because it will address environmental influences and underlying individual issues.
