Study Notes

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Structured, goal-oriented talk therapy.
Helps patients identify and change negative thought patterns impacting behavior and emotions.
Emphasizes that individual's perception of the world is subjective and cognitively mediated.
Emotional and behavioral responses are shaped by primary (event relevance to goals) and secondary (coping potential) cognitive appraisal.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

Type of CBT developed by Albert Ellis.
Focuses on addressing irrational beliefs as the root of psychological distress, not the event itself.
Aims to replace irrational beliefs with rational ones to reduce negative emotions (anxiety, anger, depression).
Highlights language's role in shaping beliefs; negative language can trigger anxiety, while positive language promotes adaptive responses.

Disputation Techniques in REBT

Five primary techniques: being pragmatic, thinking empirically, being logical, being philosophical.
Aims to demonstrate that irrational beliefs are false and unhelpful, while rational alternatives are true and helpful.

Imagery Use in REBT

Guidelines include patient education, formal/informal imagery ability assessment, skill development support, appropriate imagery type selection, program incorporation, and ongoing education.

Making Imagery Functionally Equivalent: PETTLEP Model

Ensures imagery closely mirrors physical practice by focusing on physical characteristics, environment, task, timing, learning, emotion, and perspective.

Patient-Centered Therapy

Approach that emphasizes the individual's potential for self-direction.
Prioritizes a holistic approach and positive practitioner-patient relationship.

Core Conditions for Patient-Centered Therapy

Unconditional positive regard: maintaining a positive attitude towards the patient regardless of their thoughts or actions.
Empathetic understanding: comprehending the patient's feelings regarding a situation or event.

Why Psychological Strategies in Physiotherapy?

Improve the therapeutic relationship & patient engagement in treatment.
Address challenges posed by patients/family struggling with emotions and mood.
Reflects the inseparable nature of mind and body.

Principles Guiding Psychological Strategies in Physiotherapy

If one person can learn something, anyone can (modeling).
Behavior change impacts those around them.
Understanding comes from personal experience.
Every behavior has a positive intention (potential for misinterpretation).

Patient-Centered Approach (Carl Rogers)

Everyone has the potential for growth if perceived conditions and environment are sufficient.

Six Conditions for Therapeutic Change (Rogers)

Psychological contact between two people.
Client experiencing incongruence, vulnerability, or anxiety.
Therapist being congruent and integrated in the relationship.
Therapist demonstrating unconditional positive regard.
Therapist exhibiting empathic understanding.
Communication of empathy and unconditional positive regard to the client.

Therapist's Ways of Being (Rogers)

Congruence (genuineness, honesty).
Empathetic understanding (sensing and reflecting underlying feelings).
Unconditional positive regard (caring and acceptance without judgment).

Motivational Interviewing

Directive, client-centered counseling for eliciting behavior change.
Explores ambivalence towards change and supports resolution.

Principles of Motivational Interviewing

Motivation is elicited from the client, not imposed.
Resolving ambivalence is the client's responsibility.
Direct persuasion is ineffective.
Counseling style is quiet and eliciting.
Counselor directly helps with ambivalence examination and resolution.
Readiness to change is dynamic, not a fixed trait.
Therapeutic relationship is a partnership.

Mindfulness

Non-evaluative, present-focused awareness of physical and psychosocial experiences.
Cultivates presence, clear thinking, and detachment from negative emotions/beliefs.
