This study examined whether attentional control predicts levels of intolerance of uncertainty, anxiety sensitivity, and distress intolerance in 422 undergraduate students. Several cognitive measures were administered. Results showed that greater attentional control significantly predicted lower levels of intolerance of uncertainty and distress intolerance, but did not predict anxiety sensitivity. This suggests that interventions targeting attentional control may help improve tolerance of uncertainty and distress.
Current Issues in Clinical Psychology
This document discusses several topics in clinical psychology including models of training, professional regulations, private practice, the cost of healthcare, prescription privileges, and technological innovations like telehealth and ambulatory assessment. Ambulatory assessment involves acquiring psychological and physiological data in natural settings using computer-assisted methods like electronic diaries and real-time data collection and analysis. Examples of ambulatory assessment applications include monitoring patients with chronic conditions and assessing cortisol levels in individuals with bipolar disorder. The document also mentions De La Salle University and telehealth.
Hypnosis and Behaviour Change
This document discusses theories of mind and behavior. It explains that behavior is an outward reflection of one's inner thoughts, feelings, beliefs and value systems. Behavior is impacted by one's attitudes, beliefs, conditioning, past experiences, and the conclusions drawn from those experiences. The mind has both a conscious and subconscious aspect. The subconscious mind stores memories from the present and past lives and influences behavior through inherent fears and responses learned through the senses. Changing behavior requires influencing one's perceptions by bypassing the critical filter and rewiring neuropathways through techniques like hypnosis that access the subconscious mind in a state of hyper suggestibility.
Clinical psychology
Clinical psychologists are on the front lines of treating mental health issues. They study, diagnose, and treat psychological problems by administering tests and assisting with diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Clinical psychologists work in a variety of settings like hospitals, clinics, private practice, universities, and research agencies. They conduct interviews, assessments, and therapies to help understand, predict, and alleviate intellectual, emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues.
Health psychology, assessments, intervention in health psychology
The document discusses assessment and intervention in health psychology. It describes the goals of assessment as differentiating physical and psychological causes of illness, aiding diagnosis, understanding health-related behaviors, and monitoring treatment progress. Methods of assessment mentioned include questionnaires, observation, clinician ratings, and psycho-physiological measures. Personality traits and psychological distress are also assessed. Intervention approaches discussed include cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, biofeedback, and combinations such as meditation and hypnosis.
Behavioral Cognitive Therapy
Behavioral psychotherapy focuses on observable behaviors rather than inferred mental processes. Undesirable behaviors are viewed as the problem rather than underlying disorders. The primary goal is behavioral change through methods based on conditioning and altering learned contingencies, such as contingency management or exposure therapy. Behavioral techniques are also used indirectly by helping others apply behavioral methods to clients. Empirical studies have provided strong support for behavioral psychotherapy in treating anxiety, depression, and other disorders.
Cognitive therapy aims to promote logical thinking by helping clients recognize and change irrational cognitions. Therapists use techniques like the ABCDE model or identifying thought distortions to enable clients to logically respond to life events. Originally used for anxiety and mood disorders, cognitive therapy is now applied to
Health psych
