Study Notes
Maudsley Hospital
- Established in 1907, it was the first modern hospital dedicated to mental illness treatment.
- Opened in 1916, primarily assessed and treated soldiers with shell shock during WWI.
- Featured occupational therapy workshops as one of the standard treatments at the time.
- It housed the first psychiatry medical school in the UK, conducting training and research on mental illness.
- The medical school fully established in 1924 became the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience.
Treatment Approaches
- Early psychological treatments utilized classical conditioning, influenced by Pavlov's research.
- J.B. Watson connected conditioning to the development of neuroses and phobias, exemplified in the Little Albert case study.
- Joseph Wolpe introduced the Subjective Units of Distress (SUDs) Scale, allowing patients to rate their anxiety levels from 0 (no distress) to 100 (maximum distress).
- Systematic desensitization, a treatment method, involved teaching relaxation techniques to counteract fear responses.
Exposure Therapy and Results
- Exposure therapy aimed to gradually confront patients with feared objects or situations.
- The change in avoidance tendencies often showed variance across treatment sessions, revealing response desynchrony.
- Use of augmented reality in therapy involved patients viewing live footage with virtual stimuli to reduce fear.
- Behavioral and cognitive theories worked together to explain avoidance behaviors and their psychological impacts.
Safety Behaviors and Avoidance Learning
- Escape responses are instinctual, guiding individuals away from perceived dangers.
- Safety behaviors may temporarily alleviate anxiety but can reinforce long-term fears and avoidance patterns.
- Dependence on superstitious actions as safety measures (e.g., wearing lucky charms) illustrates how avoidance can perpetuate fear rather than alleviate it.
Cognitive Therapy Insights
- Cognitive therapy emerged from understanding that thoughts shape perceptions of reality.
- Shakespeare's portrayal in Hamlet, “there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” captures the essence of cognitive therapy.
- The interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors was highlighted through Hamlet's tragic journey, emphasizing the impact of cognitive processes on mental health.
