Study Notes
Behavior-Based vs. Insight-Based Therapies
- Behavior-based therapies emphasize action to address psychological issues.
- Psychodynamic and humanistic therapies focus on insight into thoughts and feelings.
Systematic Desensitization
- Involves teaching relaxation techniques and gradual exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli.
- Helps clients confront fears in a controlled manner, reducing anxiety over time.
Exposure Therapies
- Two types of exposure methods:
- In vivo: Direct confrontation with anxiety-inducing situations (e.g., Client A).
- Imaginal: Visualization of fearful scenarios without direct confrontation (e.g., Client B).
Token Economies
- Effective in various settings for promoting desirable behaviors and modifying problematic ones.
- Utilizes a system of rewards (tokens) for positive behaviors, reinforcing behavior changes.
Arbitrary Inference
- A cognitive distortion where an individual draws conclusions without sufficient evidence.
- Example: Jumping to negative conclusions based on specific events leads to feelings of depression.
