Study Notes
Models of Abnormality (Part 2!)
- The presentation covers the remaining models of abnormality, including the Humanistic-Existential Model, Sociocultural Model, and Developmental Psychopathology Perspectives.
- Upcoming assignments are also mentioned.
Biological Beginnings
- Early treatments for pain relief involved piercings with a "vigorous" twig, along with alcohol and medicines laced with opium, cocaine, and morphine.
- Examples of advertisements for these treatments are shown.
Drug Ads from the Past
- Historical advertisements for medications like Thorazine (for mental health), Brain Salt, and Heroin (for pain relief), and Opium.
- Note the different types of ailments these past medications were advertised for.
Humanistic-Existential Model
- Humanistic view emphasizes people as friendly, cooperative, and constructive, focusing on self-actualization through honest recognition of strengths and weaknesses.
- Existentialist view emphasizes accurate self-awareness and a meaningful life (authenticity). Total freedom from birth can lead to positive or negative outcomes. Psychological dysfunction can stem from self-deception.
The Humanistic-Existential Model (part 1)
- Rogers' humanistic theory and therapy emphasize basic human needs for unconditional positive regard.
- Unconditional positive regard fosters self-regard.
- Conditions of worth occur when unconditional positive regard is lacking.
- Rogers' client-centered therapy involves creating a supportive climate with unconditional positive regard, accurate empathy, and genuineness.
- Research support for this model is less in the past, but is stronger today.
- This model has a positive impact on clinical practice.
The Humanistic-Existential Model (part 3)
- Gestalt theory and therapy (developed by Fritz Perls) aims to guide clients toward self-recognition and self-acceptance.
- This differs from client-centered therapy in terms of techniques such as role playing and focusing on the "here and now".
- The therapy emphasizes the client embracing their real emotions.
Gestalt Therapy
- Limited controlled research exists due to the belief that subjective experiences and self-awareness cannot be measured objectively.
- Approximately 1% of clinical psychologists describe themselves as Gestalt therapists.
The Humanistic-Existential Model (part 4)
- Spiritual views and interventions are discussed, noting a lessening historical alienation between the clinical field and religion.
- Research suggests spirituality can correlate with psychological health.
- Religion-adapted cognitive behavioral therapy (RCBT) encourages the use of spiritual resources to cope with stressors.
Spiritual Views, Interventions & Definitions
- There's a growing need for evidence-based, humanized, and individual-focused interventions.
- Importance to address religiosity and spirituality in clinical practice and psychotherapy.
- Definitions for spirituality and religiosity.
Religion-Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Secular CBT protocols are adapted for incorporating religious content to promote greater sensitivity and client-centered care.
- Evidence supports that R-CBT is as effective as other standard CBT or more effective.
- The effectiveness of this therapy is independent of the therapist's religious beliefs.
- Non-religious therapists using adapted protocols have shown similar effectiveness.
Religion and Psychotherapy
- Religious beliefs and practices provide meaning, coping mechanisms, resilience, etc..
- Religion can also contribute to conflict or mental health problems.
- Integrating religious views into psychotherapy improves relationships and treatment outcomes.
- Clients want clinicians to address religious issues.
- The World Psychiatry Association recommends careful consideration of religious beliefs, regardless of clinician's personal beliefs.
Evidence Supporting Religion-Adapted Psychotherapy
- Systematic reviews demonstrate that R-CBT is as effective (or more effective) than conventional approaches.
- CBT is the most studied form of religion-adapted psychotherapy and is shown to have high efficacy.
Challenges in Practice
- Difficulty identifying specific religious adaptations to CBT protocols is a challenge for clinicians and researchers to improve care and study efficacy.
The Humanistic-Existential Model (part 5)
- Psychological abnormality stems from self-deception to hide from responsibilities.
- Clients feel overwhelmed by societal forces and see quitting as a habitual outcome.
- Existential therapy involves a live demonstration and encourages clients to accept responsibility for their lives and problems.
- Relationships between therapist and client involves shared learning and growth.
The Humanistic-Existential Perspective of Joy
- Joy can be analyzed as an emotion, mood, trait, or spiritual fruit.
- Positive Psychology, focusing on the benefits of health and behavior, also relates to joy.
- Research highlights the "tyranny of positivity" and emphasizing integrating experiences (even negative ones).
- Positive psychologists must be careful to avoid a superficial view of positive psychology, preventing negative outcomes.
Assessing the Humanistic-Existential Model
- Strengths include tapping into domains missing from other models, emphasizing the individual including an optimistic view, and emphasizing health.
- Weaknesses include focusing on abstract issues, being difficult to research, and being weakened by disapproval of the scientific approach—but this may be changing.
Family Social and Multicultural Perspectives
- Abnormal behavior are best understood in context of culture, cultural values, and external pressures within the individuals' environment.
- Members of cultural minority groups are not inferior or deprived compared to the majority.
- Growing interest in understanding individuals through an intersectionality framework,
- Family/social perspective addresses family structure, communications, and support systems.
- Multicultural perspective examines how cultural norms and values influence abnormal functioning.
The Sociocultural Model: Family-Social and Multicultural Perspectives (part 1)
- Abnormal behavior is often influenced by social and cultural forces.
- Societies' norms/roles impact individuals.
- This perspective includes two main ideas: -Family perspective addresses family structure, communication, and support. -Multicultural perspective looks at cultural factors.
The Sociocultural Model: Family-Social and Multicultural Perspectives (part 2 & 3)
- Family-social theorists focus on forces impacting individuals directly, explaining abnormal functioning through:
- Social labels, diagnostic labels
- Social connections & support systems
- Family structure & communication
- Family systems theory views families as interacting systems with consistent patterns and rules.
- Family-social treatments (group therapy, family therapy, couple/marital therapy, community treatment) often emerge as helpful approaches, as these contexts are where problem emerge and are often best addressed
- Psychological problems often are best treated within the context of family and social settings.
- Perspectives on treatment emphasized growth for several approaches like groups, peer support, etc.
- Includes different types of specific treatment approaches such as group, family or relational therapy.
Therapy, Now Ready-to-Wear?
- Modern mobile computing tools and apps created possibilities in mental health care.
Wearable Therapy
- Continuous monitoring of physiological and behavioral problems.
- Example: JITAI (Just-in-Time-Adaptive Intervention) aims to provide appropriate support at the proper time, adapting to individuals' changing internal and contextual states.
How Do Multicultural Theorists Explain Abnormal Functioning? (parts 1, 2, 3)
- Multicultural perspective acknowledges the importance of considering culture, values, and contextual factors in understanding behavior.
- Members of cultural minority groups experience similar (not inferior or deprived) challenges as others.
- Intersectionality is understood as a framework for understanding people.
- Specific treatments within this perspective address the specific needs of the affected cultural groups, and often do better in groups, or within the context of the cultural norms, etc.
- Clinicians may find it helpful to include cultural norms/models when considering specific treatment.
Assessing the Sociocultural Models
- Strengths include increasing understanding and treatment of abnormality based on clinical and social roles.
- Successful in cases where other interventions prove unsuccessful.
- Weaknesses involve interpretations and prediction for specific individuals.
Integrating the Models: The Developmental Psychopathology Perspective
- Many theorists advocate for the inclusion of multiple causal factors & perspectives in understanding abnormal behavior,
- This perspective uses an integrative approach to understand adaptive & maladaptive human functioning.
- Key principles concern the process (timing) of variables (biological, environmental) during development.
- Integrates various models to create a more comprehensive approach.
Overview of Today's Leading Models
- No model consistently proves superior from others in their approaches.
- Models offer insights into human functioning, and clinicians often use an integrative approach.
- Biopsychosocial models are a useful combination of influential factors.
Comparing the Models
- Model distinctions are made based on different causal factors/causes of abnormal/problematic functioning, including: biological, psychodynamic, cognitive, humanistic, existentialist, family-social, and multicultural.
Research Support
- Biological and cognitive-behavioral models have strong support from research.
- Family-social and multicultural models have moderate support.
- Humanistic and existential models have weak research support..
- Different models vary in their perspective on how the client is viewed/labeled (Patient vs Client).
Integration of Models
- Combined treatment approaches are increasingly common, with many clinicians adopting such practices.
- Eclectic/integrative practices demonstrate efficacy in combined treatments compared to individual models used independently.
- Developmental psychopathology perspective integrates variables and principles from multiple models.
- Focus on timing, contexts, and multiple factors impacting a client’s problems.
Key Principles (Equifinality and Multifinality)
- Different developmental paths can lead to the same disorder (equifinality).
- Similar developmental pathways can lead to different outcomes (multifinality).
Implications of Developmental Psychopathology
- Prioritizes prevention and early intervention rather than solely addressing severe disorders.
- Supports community-wide intervention to address societal issues/factors.
- The perspective focuses on the timing of treatment and combines explanations/treatments.
Comparing the Models (Table 3-2)
- Table summarizing various models in categories such as: cause of dysfunction, research support, consumer designation, role of therapist, and therapy techniques and goals.
