Study Notes
Psychodynamic Therapy
- A therapist focuses on identifying unconscious conflicts and motives, as well as the patient's view of themselves and their relationships, to gain emotional insight.
- The therapist may use techniques such as free association, dream analysis, and interpretation of resistance to achieve this.
Free Association
- A technique used in psychoanalysis to explore associational networks and unconscious processes involved in symptom formation.
- The patient is asked to say whatever comes to mind without thinking or holding back, and the therapist listens for underlying themes and unconscious conflicts.
Resistance
- A barrier to free association or treatment, created by the patient to avoid anxiety or uncomfortable topics.
- Examples of resistance include arriving late or cancelling appointments, changing the subject, or avoiding certain topics.
Transference
- The process of transferring feelings, fears, and wishes from past relationships to new relationships, including the therapeutic relationship.
- Can manifest as feelings towards the therapist, such as anger, fear, or affection, and can be used to understand the patient's unconscious conflicts.
Psychoanalytic Techniques
- Interpretation: helping the patient understand their unconscious conflicts and desires.
- Dream analysis: exploring the patient's dreams to uncover unconscious conflicts and desires.
- Transference: exploring the patient's feelings towards the therapist to understand unconscious conflicts.
Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy
- A type of psychodynamic therapy that focuses on a specific problem or issue.
- The therapist works with the patient to identify the underlying causes of the problem and develop a plan to address it.
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy
- A type of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours.
- Techniques include:
- Exposure: gradually exposing the patient to a feared stimulus to decrease anxiety.
- Systematic desensitisation: gradually exposing the patient to a feared stimulus while teaching relaxation techniques.
- Graded exposure: gradually exposing the patient to a feared stimulus in a controlled and gradual manner.
- Social skills training: teaching new skills to people with specific interpersonal deficits.
Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT)
- A type of cognitive-behavioural therapy that focuses on identifying and changing irrational thoughts and beliefs.
- The therapist helps the patient to identify and challenge negative thoughts, and replace them with more rational and constructive ones.
Modelling and Social Skills Training
- Modelling: learning through observation, in which a person learns to reproduce behaviour exhibited by a model.
- Social skills training: teaching new skills to people with specific interpersonal deficits, such as assertiveness or conversation skills.
- Techniques include role-playing, behaviour rehearsal, and skills training.### Cognitive Therapy
- Cognitive therapy focuses on changing dysfunctional cognitions presumed to underlie psychological disorders.
- The therapist brings the patient's illogical or self-defeating thoughts to their attention, shows how they are causing problems, demonstrates their illogic, and teaches alternative ways of thinking.
- Cognitive therapy questions the patient's assumptions and beliefs, and asks them to identify the data underlying them.
Social Skills Training
- Social skills training usually begins with direct teaching of skills or modelling of behaviour.
- The next stage is rehearsal of the new skills, followed by feedback and renewed practice.
- Social skills training involves teaching the necessary behaviours to accomplish relevant goals, modelling the behaviour, and rehearsal.
Gestalt Therapy
- Gestalt therapy is an approach to treatment that emphasises awareness of feelings, focusing on the 'here and now' rather than the 'then and there'.
- Gestalt therapy commonly uses the empty-chair technique, where the therapist places an empty chair near the client and asks them to imagine that the person to whom they would like to express their feelings is in the chair.
Flooding
- Flooding is a technique where the patient confronts the phobic stimulus all at once.
- The theory behind flooding is that inescapable exposure to a conditioned stimulus eventually desensitises the patient through extinction or related mechanisms, such as exhaustion.
Participatory Modelling
- Participatory modelling involves the therapist modelling the desired behaviour and gradually inducing the patient to participate in it.
- The therapist walks the patient through the process, encouraging them to participate in the behaviour.
Rational-Emotive Behaviour Therapy
- Rational-emotive behaviour therapy proposes that patients can rid themselves of most psychological problems by minimising their irrational thinking and maximising their rational thinking.
- The therapist helps the patient to identify and challenge their irrational thoughts and beliefs.
Client-Centred Therapy
- Client-centred therapy assumes that problems in living result when people's concept of self is incongruent with their actual experience.
- The therapist shows unconditional positive regard towards the client, without any requirements or conditions.
- The therapist helps the client to explore their feelings and thoughts, and to find their own solutions to their problems.
