Study Notes
Therapy Lecture Objectives
- Lecture objectives include Ancient Methods, Psychological Therapies, Biomedical Therapies, and Hospitalization.
Ancient Methods
- Trepanation was a practice of creating holes in the skull by boring, chipping, or bashing. It was often performed without anesthesia, and survival rates were low.
- Philippe Pinel was a French physician who significantly contributed to the understanding of mental illness.
Psychological Therapies
-
Directive vs. Nondirective Therapies:
- Directive therapies involve therapists actively interpreting statements and suggesting behaviors or actions.
- Nondirective therapies lean towards neutrality. Therapists avoid interpretations or advice.
-
Psychoanalysis:
- Focuses on uncovering the unconscious mind.
- Techniques include dream analysis, resistance analysis, and transference analysis. Transference involves transferring feelings for important figures onto the therapist.
- Free association, where patients discuss whatever comes to mind without judgment, is also used.
-
Psychodynamic Therapies:
- Build on psychoanalysis, but with a wider scope of focus and shorter treatment times.
- Emphasizes transference.
- Therapeutic approach tends to be more direct.
-
Client-Centered Therapy (Carl Rogers):
- Nondirective.
- Techniques include active listening, reflection (restatement of client's statements), unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity.
-
Behavioral Therapies:
- Often directive.
- Techniques such as classical conditioning (e.g., nocturnal bed wetting treatment, aversive conditioning – using unpleasant feelings to discourage a behavior, such as Antabuse).
- Exposure Therapies, such as virtual reality exposure therapy, and systematic desensitization combined with progressive relaxation.
- Participant modelling (observing and imitating others to model a desired behavior)
-
Operant Conditioning/ABA
- Behaviour Modification & Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
- Modifies undesirable responses to substitute with desirable ones.
- ABA involves identifying the antecedent (initial situation), behavior, and consequence (reinforcer associated with the behavior).
- Extinction techniques, time-outs are used to reduce undesirable behaviors.
- Behavioral techniques like token economies (accumulating tokens for rewards), and contingency contracts (formal agreements for behavior change) are used.
-
Cognitive Therapies
- Includes Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Beck's Cognitive Therapy, challenging irrational beliefs and restructuring thinking.
-
Mindfulness Therapies:
- Emphasize mindfulness as a process of awareness on purpose in the present moment. Focus on non-judgmental acceptance of sensations.
- Includes practices like breathing exercises.
- Mindfulness-based therapies encompass MBSR, DBT, MBCT, and ACT.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing):
- A non-traditional approach for reducing distress from traumatic memories.
- Involves focusing on emotionally upsetting experiences and using external stimuli (e.g., eye movements, tapping) simultaneously.
-
Body-Based Therapies (Somatic Experiencing):
- Focus on physiological responses during traumatic events, rather than accompanying thoughts or emotions.
-
Family Therapy:
- A group therapy approach for families with shared concerns.
-
Self-Help/Support Groups:
- Individuals with similar problems meet without a therapist to discuss, solve problems, and support each other socially and emotionally.
-
Group Therapy
- Group settings, like Psychodrama (clients act out conflicts with supporting roles), are explored in specialized issue groups.
-
Cybertherapy:
- Online therapy, offered using digital means.
Biomedical Therapies
- Psychopharmacology: Treatment with medication (antipsychotics, anti-anxiety, antimanic, antidepressants).
- ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy): Electrical stimulation for severe depression. Techniques involve placing electrodes on the head and using an electric current to induce a seizure.
- rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation): Using magnetic pulses to treat disorders.
- tDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation): Using low-amplitude electric currents to stimulate the brain.
- Psychosurgery (rare): Surgical procedures to treat mental disorders. Example: Bilateral anterior cingulotomy.
- Hospitalization: Inpatient care for mental health. Covers partial hospitalization and halfway houses.
