Study Notes
Cognitive Behavioral Paradigm
- Originates from learning principles and cognitive science, forming the foundation of cognitive behavioral therapies.
- Influenced significantly by classical and operant conditioning techniques.
Influences from Behavior Therapy
- Problem behaviors persist if reinforced; identifying the reinforcement source is crucial for effective treatment.
- Treatment strategies may include ignoring the behavior or implementing time-out, a method where the individual is removed from reinforcing environments.
- Behavioral Activation (BA) therapy specifically targets depression by encouraging engagement in tasks that yield positive reinforcement.
Systematic Desensitization
- Involves two main components: deep muscle relaxation and gradual exposure to feared situations, starting from least to most anxiety-provoking.
- The exposure component aims to extinguish anxiety through prolonged exposure without actual harm.
- Real-life exposure (e.g., flying for a fear of flying) is preferred but imaginal exposure is used when real-life situations are not feasible.
- Both real-life and imaginal exposures may be utilized in some cases.
Exposure Techniques
- Remain a central focus of many cognitive behavior therapy strategies and are extensively explored in advanced chapters.
- Techniques have evolved since their inception, enhancing understanding and implementation in therapeutic practices.
