Study Notes
Therapy Types
- Nondirective insight therapy allows the client to speak freely while the therapist listens, fostering a supportive environment.
- The therapist’s ability to understand the client's feelings in person-centered therapy is known as empathy.
- Modern therapies based on psychoanalysis that focus on transference, shorter treatment times, and a direct approach are classified as psychodynamic therapies.
- Client-centered and directive characteristics define contemporary psychoanalysis and psychodynamic methods.
Forms and Techniques of Therapy
- Integration of multiple approaches focusing on interpersonal issues, yet not classified as psychodynamic therapy, is referred to as interpersonal therapy.
- The main goal of insight therapies is to increase self-awareness and understanding of one's thoughts and motivations.
- Action therapy primarily emphasizes changing behaviors rather than focusing on thoughts or feelings.
- Biological or medical methods used to relieve mental disorder symptoms are termed biomedical therapies.
Historical Context
- In the mid-1500s, mentally ill individuals were often confined to asylums, experiencing harsh treatments.
- Philippe Pinel is notable for advocating compassionate treatment of the mentally ill and unchaining inmates in France.
Group Dynamics
- A characteristic of groupthink includes the failure of members to evaluate the ethical implications of their decisions, leading to poor decision-making.
- In group polarization, members tend to adopt more extreme positions and behaviors following discussions within a group.
Compliance and Consumer Behavior
- The foot-in-the-door technique involves securing a small initial commitment before requesting a larger commitment from the individual.
- Consumer psychology studies habits and behaviors of consumers, including aspects of compliance in marketing contexts.
Obedience and Authority
- Factors that enhance the likelihood of obedience to authority figures include social pressure and perceived legitimacy of the authority.
- In Asch’s study on conformity, participants were tasked with identifying the most similar comparison line to a standard line, primarily to explore the influence of group pressure on decision-making.
Conformity and Social Influence
- The likely influence of group responses in Asch's study suggests that individuals may change their answers to align with group opinions, demonstrating conformity under social pressure.
- Conformity, as studied by Asch, indicates the influence individuals can experience through the real or implied presence of others on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
