Study Notes
Overview of Therapy Approaches and Techniques
- Psychoanalytic and humanistic therapies are insight therapies that aim to increase clients' awareness of motives and defenses, while behavior therapies aim to modify problem behaviors through learning principles.
- Psychotherapy involves psychological techniques derived from psychological perspectives, while biomedical therapy involves treatment with medical procedures and medications.
- The eclectic approach to psychotherapy uses techniques from various forms of therapy.
- Psychoanalysis aims to bring repressed feelings into conscious awareness and help patients achieve healthier lives through historical reconstruction and interpretation of resistance and transference.
- Psychodynamic therapy focuses on helping people understand current symptoms and exploring past relationship troubles to understand the origins of current difficulties.
- Humanistic therapies emphasize people's potential for self-fulfillment and aim to reduce inner conflicts, promote personal growth, and increase self-awareness and self-acceptance.
- Behavior therapies use classical and operant conditioning to evoke new responses to stimuli that trigger unwanted behaviors and modify behavior through reinforcement and punishment.
- Cognitive therapies teach people new, more adaptive ways of thinking and aim to alter the way people act and think by modifying negative self-talk.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy combines cognitive therapy with behavior therapy to change self-defeating thinking and behavior and help people make more realistic appraisals.
- Some forms of psychotherapy work best for particular problems, such as behavior therapies for bed-wetting, phobias, and sexual dysfunctions, psychodynamic therapy for depression and anxiety, and cognitive therapies for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
- The benefits of all psychotherapies include hope for demoralized people, a new perspective on oneself and the world, and an empathic, trusting, caring relationship with the therapist.
- When seeking therapy, it's essential to ask about the treatment approach, values, credentials, and fees, and to establish a comfortable and trusting bond with the therapist.
- Psychopharmacology, the study of drug effects on the mind and behavior, has helped make drug therapy the most widely used biomedical therapy, and drug therapies include antipsychotic drugs, antianxiety drugs, and antidepressants, which are prescribed for 27 million Americans and evaluated through placebo and double-blind techniques.
