This document provides definitions and explanations of defense mechanisms from various psychological perspectives including Freudian psychoanalysis and the DSM. It discusses what constitutes a defense mechanism, examples of common defense mechanisms, and tactics related to gaslighting. The document also summarizes principles and techniques from motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.
This document discusses coping strategies and styles. It defines coping and outlines different types of coping strategies, including problem-focused, emotion-focused, meaning-focused, and social coping. It describes the physiology behind different coping styles and the clinical significance of understanding patients' coping mechanisms. Both positive and negative coping techniques are explained, as well as gender differences. Issues of concern around coping and common coping scales are also summarized.
Counseling and psychotherapy both aim to help individuals with mental health issues, but they differ in key ways. Counseling typically provides short-term assistance for present issues like stress, relationships or decision-making. Psychotherapy focuses on longer-term treatment to address deeper psychological causes of problems by examining a person's history and helping them gain insight. While counseling helps process emotions and improve skills, psychotherapy facilitates more profound changes through exploring root causes from a person's past.
Viktor Frankl developed logotherapy, which focuses on helping clients find meaning in their lives. Logotherapy holds that finding meaning is an inherent human motivation and the primary driver of human behavior. The therapist helps clients identify experiences they find meaningful and set goals oriented around pursuing more meaningful activities and relationships. The overall aim is for clients to develop a sense of purpose that enhances well-being and motivates constructive behavior.
This document discusses resilience and empowerment. It defines resilience as the ability to bounce back from adversity through positive adaptation and maintaining mental health despite challenges. Sources of resilience include personal factors like optimism and social support, as well as developing cognitive flexibility. The strengths perspective approach to social work emphasizes empowerment and helping clients utilize their strengths and resources to achieve goals. It involves collaboration, viewing clients holistically, and building resilience through connection, maintaining hope, and taking control of life situations.

The document discusses various counseling approaches including psychoanalytic, behavioral, cognitive behavioral, rational emotive behavioral therapy, transactional analysis, and humanistic approaches. It provides descriptions of each approach's founding theorists, key philosophies and techniques, goals of therapy, and applications. Counseling approaches are differentiated based on how therapists interact with clients and are guided by theory and research.
This document discusses various approaches to counseling, including humanistic, cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches. The humanistic approach focuses on self-actualization and personal growth. The cognitive approach views behavior and emotions as originating from thoughts and perceptions. The behavioral approach is based on learning from interactions with the environment. The psychodynamic approach draws from Freudian psychoanalysis and views unconscious drives as influencing behavior. Effective counseling requires understanding of theories that explain human behavior.
Motivational Interviewing by Ravi Kolli,MDravikolli
Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered treatment approach that aims to resolve ambivalence and increase intrinsic motivation for change. It seeks to increase the importance a client places on changing and their belief that change is possible. Motivational Interviewing has been shown to be effective in treating substance abuse and increasing compliance with medical treatment plans in as little as 1-4 sessions. Key principles of Motivational Interviewing include expressing empathy, rolling with resistance rather than confronting it, developing discrepancy between a client's goals and behaviors, and supporting a client's self-efficacy for change.
The document discusses several counselling theories and approaches including psychoanalytical, psychodynamic, person-centered, and eclectic approaches. The psychoanalytical approach developed by Sigmund Freud focuses on the unconscious mind and uses techniques like free association, dream analysis, and analysis of transference. The psychodynamic approach is based on unconscious thoughts and perceptions from childhood that influence present behavior. The person-centered approach developed by Carl Rogers views people as essentially good and focuses on unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding, and congruence. The eclectic approach combines both directive and non-directive counseling techniques selectively based on the client's needs.

Techniques of Therapy
Psychoanalytic therapy
The key techniques are interpretation, dream analysis, free association, analysis of resistance, analysis of transference, and countertransference. Techniques are designed to help clients gain access to their unconscious conflicts, which leads to insight and eventual assimilation of new material by the ego.
Adlerian therapy
Adlerians pay more attention to the subjective experiences of clients than to using techniques. Some techniques include gathering life-history data (family constellation, early recollections, personal priorities), sharing interpretations with clients, offering encouragement, and assisting clients in searching for new possibilities.
Existential therapy
Few techniques flow from this approach because it stresses understanding first and technique second. The therapist can borrow techniques from other approaches and incorporate them in an existential framework. Diagnosis, testing, and external measurements are not deemed important. Issues addressed are freedom and responsibility, isolation and relationships, meaning and meaninglessness, living and dying.
Person-centered therapy
This approach uses few techniques but stresses the attitudes of the therapist and a “way of being.” Therapists strive for active listening, reflection of feelings, clarification, “being there” for the client, and focusing on the moment-to-moment experiencing of the client. This model does not include diagnostic testing, interpretation, taking a case history, or questioning or probing for information.
Gestalt therapy
A wide range of experiments are designed to intensify experiencing and to integrate conflicting feelings. Experiments are co-created by therapist and client through an I/Thou dialogue. Therapists have latitude to creatively invent their own experiments. Formal diagnosis and testing are not a required part of therapy.
Behavior therapy
The main techniques are reinforcement, shaping, modeling, systematic desensitization, relaxation methods, flooding, eye movement and desensitization reprocessing, cognitive restructuring, social skills training, self-management programs, mindfulness and acceptance methods, behavioral rehearsal, and coaching. Diagnosis or assessment is done at the outset to determine a treatment plan. Questions concentrate on “what,” “how,” and “when” (but not “why”). Contr.

It discusses approaches such as psychoanalytic therapy, Adlerian therapy, existential therapy, person-centered therapy, Gestalt therapy, behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, choice theory/reality therapy, feminist therapy, postmodern approaches, and family systems therapy. For each approach, it outlines techniques used, how the approach can be applied, contributions to multicultural clients, and potential limitations when working with diverse populations.
This document provides an introduction to counselling and psychotherapy. It discusses the counselor-counselee relationship, including empathy, unconditional positive regard, congruence, respect and trust. It also describes the personal characteristics of effective counselors. The document defines counselling and psychotherapy, noting that counselling focuses on specific issues in the short-term, while psychotherapy explores past issues and generally takes place long-term. It then outlines several approaches to psychotherapy, including psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, and humanistic approaches.
This document discusses three counseling approaches: client-centered, behavioral, and gestalt.
The client-centered approach focuses on self-exploration and empowering clients to solve their own problems. It emphasizes trust, empathy and unconditional positive regard between counselor and client. Behavioral counseling aims to modify undesirable behaviors through reinforcement or conditioning techniques. The goal is adapting new behaviors rather than identifying root causes. Gestalt counseling views people as integrated wholes that interact with their environment. The goal is increasing self and environmental awareness to promote growth.
This document discusses the importance of guidance and counseling services in helping individuals live happy, balanced, and effective lives. It notes that people differ in psychological attributes and individual differences can be measured and studied to explain and predict behavior. Individual difference psychology examines how people are similar and differ in their thinking, feeling, and behavior. Some key individual differences discussed include locus of control, self-monitoring, self-esteem, needs for achievement, affiliation, and power, attitudes, values, and defense mechanisms.
This document provides information about multiple counseling theories and techniques, including rational emotive behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, gestalt therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, client-centered counseling, and existentialism. It discusses concepts like defense mechanisms, the therapeutic process, and counseling skills. The document is in a multiple choice question format and covers topics across various approaches to counseling.

Motivational interviewing (MI), initially developed for addiction counseling, has increasingly been
applied in public health, medical, and health promotion settings. This article provides an overview of MI,
outlining its philosophic orientation and essential strategies. Major outcome studies are reviewed,
nuances associated with the use of MI in health promotion and chronic disease prevention are described,
and future directions are offered.
Key words: motivational interviewing, health promotion, counseling, behavioral medicine,
health psychology, public health
Motivational interviewing (MI), originally described by Miller
in 1983 and more fully discussed in a seminal text by Miller and
Rollnick in 1991, has been used extensively in the addiction field
(Dunn, Deroo, & Rivara, 2001; Noonan & Moyers, 1997). There
has been considerable recent interest on the part of public health,
health psychology, and medical professionals in adapting MI to
address other health behaviors and conditions, such as smoking,
diet, physical activity, screening, sexual behavior, diabetes control,
and medical adherence (Emmons & Rollnick, 2001; Resnicow,
DiIorio, et al., 2002).
This article provides an overview of MI, describing its philo-
sophic orientation and essential strategies, with an emphasis on
application to health promotion and chronic disease prevention.
Major outcome studies in which MI has been used in the context
of health promotion and behavioral medicine are reviewed. Nu-
ances that distinguish its use for changing chronic disease and
nonaddictive behaviors are addressed, and future directions are
offered.
MI Overview
MI is neither a discrete nor entirely new intervention paradigm
but an amalgam of principles and techniques drawn from existing
models of psychotherapy and behavior change theory. MI can be
thought of as an egalitarian interpersonal orientation, a client-
centered counseling style that manifests through specific tech-
niques and strategies. A key goal of MI is to assist individuals to
work through their ambivalence about behavior change, and it
appears to be particularly effective for individuals who are initially
low in terms of readiness to change (Butler et al., 1999; Heather,
Rollnick, Bell, & Richmond, 1996; Miller & Rollnick, 1991;
Resnicow, Jackson, Wang, Dudley, & Baranowski, 2001; Rollnick
& Miller, 1995).
The tone of the MI encounter is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and
encouraging. Counselors establish a nonconfrontational and sup-
portive climate in which clients feel comfortable expressing both
the positive and negative aspects of their current behavior. Unlike
some psychotherapeutic models that rely heavily on therapist
insight or traditional patient education ...
Here are two examples of situations where counseling could have helped:
Situation How it was overcome Counselor/enabler and how they helped
Struggling in school Spoke to a school counselor about study skills and stress management. The counselor provided tutoring resources and taught coping strategies to reduce anxiety and improve focus.
Difficult relationship with parents Joined family therapy sessions. The therapist acted as a mediator and helped improve communication between me and my parents through active listening exercises and identifying underlying issues causing conflict.

Psychotherapy is the utilization of mental techniques, especially when in light of general
individual collaboration, to help a man change and conquer issues in coveted ways.
Psychotherapy intends to enhance an individual\'s prosperity and psychological well-being, to
determine or relieve troublesome practices, convictions, impulses, considerations, or feelings,
and to enhance connections and social abilities. Certain psychotherapies are considered proof
based for treating some analyzed mental issue.
1. Concentrate on influence and articulation of feeling. Psychodynamic treatment empowers
investigation
also, discourse of the full scope of a patient\'s feelings. The specialist helps the patient depict and
put words to emotions, counting conflicting emotions, sentiments that are upsetting or
undermining, and emotions that the patient may not at first have the capacity to perceive or
recognize (this remains rather than an intellectual concentration, where the more prominent
accentuation is on musings and convictions; Blagys and Hilsenroth,
2002) There is likewise an acknowledgment that scholarly understanding is not the same as
passionate
understanding, which resounds at a profound level and prompts to change (this is one motivation
behind why numerous clever and mentally disapproved of individuals can clarify the
explanations behind their dif-
ficulties, yet their comprehension does not help them overcome those challenges).
2. Investigation of endeavors to abstain from upsetting
considerations and emotions. Individuals do an awesome
numerous things, intentionally and unconsciously, to maintain a strategic distance from
perspectives
of experience that are disturbing. This evasion (in hypothetical terms, protection and resistance)
may take coarse structures, for example, missing sessions, arriving late, or being shifty. It might
take unobtrusive structures that are hard to perceive in normal social talk, for example,
inconspicuous movements of theme when certain thoughts emerge, concentrating on accidental
parts of an affair instead of on what is mentally significant, taking care of truths and occasions to
the rejection of effect, concentrating on outer conditions as opposed to one\'s own part in
forming occasions, thus on.Psychodynamic specialists effectively concentrate on and investigate
shirkings.
3. Distinguishing proof of repeating topics and designs. Psychodynamic advisors work to
distinguish
what\'s more, investigate repeating topics and examples in patients\' contemplations, sentiments,
self-idea, connections, and beneficial encounters. Now and again, a patient might be intensely
mindful of repeating designs that are agonizing or self-vanquishing yet feel not able to escape
them (e.g., a man who over and over finds
himself attracted to sentimental accomplices who are sincerely inaccessible; a lady who
consistently attacks herself at the point when achievement is close by). In different cases, the
patient might be unconscious of the exampl.
Person-centered counseling is a humanistic treatment approach developed by Carl Rogers in the 1940s that views each person as unique and able to achieve their full potential. The core conditions of this approach are unconditional positive regard, congruence, and empathic understanding. The counselor aims to understand the client's perspective without judgment and to form a therapeutic relationship based on trust and acceptance. The goal is for clients to freely express and accept their thoughts and feelings to increase self-awareness and trust in themselves. While simple in focusing on the client's experience, person-centered counseling lacks interventions and may not challenge all clients to find their own answers. However, it has strengths in emphasizing empathy, acceptance and genuineness to
Brief therapy, sometimes also referred to as short term therapy (usually 10 to 20 sessions) , is a generic label for any form of therapy in which time is an explicit element in treatment planning.
Cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBGT) uses cognitive and behavioral techniques to help clients change maladaptive thought and behavior patterns. Key techniques include identifying automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions, monitoring moods and behaviors, relaxation, problem-solving, and relapse prevention. CBGT is effective because it allows clients to learn from others, get feedback, and practice skills in a social context while also receiving individual attention from the therapist.
Aaron Beck was a pioneering psychiatrist who developed cognitive therapy. He was born in 1921 and had a difficult childhood that influenced his later work. Beck developed cognitive therapy which focuses on identifying and disputing dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. Cognitive therapy has been successfully applied to many disorders and is now one of the most influential psychotherapy approaches.
This document discusses the meaning, nature, and purpose of counseling. It provides definitions of counseling from various scholars, highlighting that counseling involves a face-to-face relationship where a trained professional helps a client solve problems using communication techniques. It describes counseling as a process that utilizes tools and procedures to address a client's concerns privately and build trust. The document also outlines the nature of counseling as a collaborative relationship that allows clients to freely discuss their issues, and lists the typical purposes of counseling as helping clients better understand themselves and make decisions.

3. Distinguishing proof of repeating topics and designs. Psychodynamic advisors work to
distinguish
what\'s more, investigate repeating topics and examples in patients\' contemplations, sentiments,
self-idea, connections, and beneficial encounters. Now and again, a patient might be intensely
mindful of repeating designs that are agonizing or self-vanquishing yet feel not able to escape
them (e.g., a man who over and over finds
himself attracted to sentimental accomplices who are sincerely inaccessible; a lady who
consistently attacks herself at the point when achievement is close by). In different cases, the
patient might be unconscious of the exampl.
Person-centered counseling is a humanistic treatment approach developed by Carl Rogers in the 1940s that views each person as unique and able to achieve their full potential. The core conditions of this approach are unconditional positive regard, congruence, and empathic understanding. The counselor aims to understand the client's perspective without judgment and to form a therapeutic relationship based on trust and acceptance. The goal is for clients to freely express and accept their thoughts and feelings to increase self-awareness and trust in themselves. While simple in focusing on the client's experience, person-centered counseling lacks interventions and may not challenge all clients to find their own answers. However, it has strengths in emphasizing empathy, acceptance and genuineness to
Brief therapy, sometimes also referred to as short term therapy (usually 10 to 20 sessions) , is a generic label for any form of therapy in which time is an explicit element in treatment planning.
Cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBGT) uses cognitive and behavioral techniques to help clients change maladaptive thought and behavior patterns. Key techniques include identifying automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions, monitoring moods and behaviors, relaxation, problem-solving, and relapse prevention. CBGT is effective because it allows clients to learn from others, get feedback, and practice skills in a social context while also receiving individual attention from the therapist.
Aaron Beck was a pioneering psychiatrist who developed cognitive therapy. He was born in 1921 and had a difficult childhood that influenced his later work. Beck developed cognitive therapy which focuses on identifying and disputing dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. Cognitive therapy has been successfully applied to many disorders and is now one of the most influential psychotherapy approaches.
This document discusses the meaning, nature, and purpose of counseling. It provides definitions of counseling from various scholars, highlighting that counseling involves a face-to-face relationship where a trained professional helps a client solve problems using communication techniques. It describes counseling as a process that utilizes tools and procedures to address a client's concerns privately and build trust. The document also outlines the nature of counseling as a collaborative relationship that allows clients to freely discuss their issues, and lists the typical purposes of counseling as helping clients better understand themselves and make decisions.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

1. CLINICAL EDUCATION AND
INTERVENTIONS FOR DEFENSE
STRUCTURES OF CO-OCCURRING
POPULATIONS
Brian G. Lengfelder
LCPC, CAADC, CCJP, SAP, MAC, CSAT, CMAT, ACRPS
2. WHAT CONSTITUTES DEFENSE
MECHANISMS
• The term ‘defense mechanisms’ was coined over 100 years
ago to describe a construct of psychological mechanisms
for coping with intrapsychic conflicts.
• Defense mechanisms and conflicts are two hypothetical
constructs that have remained at the core of psychodynamic
approaches to understanding and treating clinical
psychopathology.
• Defense mechanisms mediate between an individual’s
wishes, needs, and affects on the one hand, and both
internalized object relations and external reality on the
other.
Freud, S. The neuro-psychosis of defense, in Strachey, J. (ed.): The Standard Edition of the
Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, London, Hogarth, (original work published
1894), 1962, pp. 43-68.
3. DEFENSE MECHANISMS
DEFINED
• Mechanisms that mediate the individual’s reaction
to emotional conflicts and to external stressors.
Some defense mechanisms (e.g., projection,
splitting, acting out) are almost invariably
maladaptive. Others (e.g., suppression, denial)
may be either maladaptive or adaptive, depending
on their severity, their inflexibility, and the context
in which they occur.
2013, DSM-5
American Psychiatric Association
4. DEFENSE MECHANISMS
DEFINED
• Defense mechanisms (or coping styles) are
automatic psychological processes that protect
the individual against anxiety and from the
awareness of internal or external dangers or
stressors. Individuals are often unaware of
these processes as they operate. Defense
mechanisms mediate the individual’s reaction to
emotional conflicts and to internal and external
stressors.
2000, DSM-IV-TR
American Psychiatric Association
5. SAMHSA’S CONCEPT OF TRAUMA
• Individual trauma results from an event, series
of events, or set of circumstances that is
experienced by an individual as physically or
emotionally harmful or life threatening and that
has lasting adverse effects on the individual’s
functioning and mental, physical, social,
emotional, or spiritual well-being.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. SAMHSA’s Concept of Trauma and
Guidance for a Trauma-Informed Approach. HHS Publication No. (SMA) xx-xxxx. Rockville, MD:
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2014.
6. PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY
SIGMUND FREUD/ANNA FREUD
• A defense mechanism is an unconscious psychological
mechanism that reduces anxiety arising from
unacceptable or potentially harmful stimuli. Sigmund
Freud was one of the first proponents of this construct.
• Defense mechanisms may result in healthy or
unhealthy consequences depending on the
circumstances and frequency with which the
mechanism is used. In psychoanalytic theory, defense
mechanisms are psychological strategies brought into
play by the unconscious mind to manipulate, deny, or
distort reality in order to defend against feelings of
anxiety and unacceptable impulses and to maintain
one's self-schema.
7. • Healthy persons normally use different
defenses throughout life. An ego defense
mechanism becomes pathological only when its
persistent use leads to maladaptive behavior
such that the physical or mental health of the
individual is adversely affected. Among the
purposes of ego defense mechanisms is to
protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety and/or
social sanctions and/or to provide a refuge
from a situation with which one cannot
currently cope.
8. PSYCHOLOGICAL DEFENSE MECHANISMS:
A NEW PERSPECTIVE
BRAD BOWINS
THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS,
2004, VOL.64, NO. 1
• Approaching psychological defense mechanisms from the perspective
of an evolved strategy, it is proposed that there are two basic templates
– dissociation and cognitive distortions.
• Dissociation provides the capacity to adaptively detach from disturbing
emotional states
• Cognitive distortions place a positive ego-enhancing spin on experience
9. • Psychological defense mechanisms represent a crucial
component of our capacity to maintain emotional homeostasis
• The conscious mind would be much more vulnerable to
negatively charged emotional input, such that pertaining to
anxiety and sadness
• Fear and anxiety occur within the context of threat and danger
• Intelligence, unquestionably one of the cornerstones of human
evolution, amplifies emotions by providing more extensive and
intensive unconscious and conscious activating appraisals
11. GASLIGHTING
• Gaslighting is a form of
manipulation that seeks to sow
seeds of doubt in a targeted
individual or group, hoping to make
the target question their own
memory, perception, and sanity. Using
persistent denial, misdirection,
contradiction, and lying, it attempts
to destabilize the target and
delegitimize the target's belief.
Dorpat, Theo. L. (1994). “On the Double Whammy and Gaslighting.” Psychoanalysis &
Psychotherapy. 11 (1): 91–96.
12. • Gas Light (known in the United
States as Angel Street) is a
1938 play by the British
dramatist Patrick Hamilton. The
play (and its film adaptations)
gave rise to the term
Gaslighting with the meaning "a
form of psychological abuse in
which false information is
presented to the victim with the
intent of making him/her doubt
his/her own memory and
perception".
13. TACTICS USED BY
THE GASLIGHTER
• Discrediting you
• Using a mask of confidence,
assertiveness, and/or fake
compassion
• Changing the subject
• Minimizing
• Denial and avoidance
• Twisting and reframing
15. MOTIVATIONAL
INTERVIEWING
HELPING PEOPLE CHANGE
MILLER & ROLLNICK
3RD ED, 2013
• 3 Definitions
• Layperson’s
• MI is a collaborative conversation style for
strengthening a person’s own motivation and
commitment to change.
• Practitioner’s
• MI is a person-centered counseling style for
addressing the common problem of ambivalence
about change.
16. • Technical
• MI is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of
communication with particular attention to the
language of change. It is designed to strengthen
personal motivation for and commitment to a
specific goal by eliciting and exploring the
person’s own reasons for change within an
atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.
17. THE CORE SKILLS OF MI
• The practice of MI involves the flexible and strategic
use of some core communication skills
• Open Questions
• Affirming
• Reflective Listening
• Summarizing
• Informing and Advising
18. THE PROCESS OF MI
• Partnership
• MI is done “for” and “with” a person
• MI is a way of activating their own motivation and
resources for change
• Engaging
• Focusing
• Evoking
• Planning
20. 3 STYLES OF FOCUSING
• Directing
• Provider determines focus
• Following
• The focus is on the client’s priorities
• Guiding
• Promotes a collaborative search for direction, a
meeting of expertise in which the focus of
treatment is negotiated
21. EVOKING/CHANGE TALK
• Desire
• Every language on the face of the earth contains
words signaling that one wants something
• Ability
• A person’s self-perceived ability for change
• Reason
• Statements of specific reasons for change
• Need
• Reflected in imperative language that stresses the
general importance or urgency for change
22. PLANNING/
SIGNS OF READINESS
• Increased Change Talk
• The more people describe their desire, ability,
reasons, and need for change, the more they are
opening to consider how it might occur
• Taking Steps
• Leaning towards change is reason for optimism,
curiosity, and affirmation
• Diminished Sustain Talk
• The arguments against change diminish and
gradually stops defending the status quo
• Resolve
• Clinical intuition, demonstration of emotion, the mind
is shifting
23. • Envisioning
• Language indicate the person is thinking about what
it would be like to make the change, imagining future
• Questions About Change
• Asking questions in the process of considering
change
• Developing a Change Plan
• The planning process in MI is to be with someone
while they form a change plan that will work
• Dynamics of Planning
• Stay attuned to how the person is responding and
continue to work with guidance
24. COGNITIVE-
BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a
psychotherapeutic approach that
addresses dysfunctional thoughts, beliefs,
emotions and maladaptive behaviors that
are influencing psychological problems.
• CBT is present, action-oriented, brief,
controlled, and is customized for each
person.
25. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CBT
JUDITH BECK
• Cognitive behavior therapy is based on an ever-evolving
formulation of patients’ problems and an individual
conceptualization of each patient in cognitive terms.
• Cognitive behavior therapy requires a sound
therapeutic alliance.
• Cognitive behavior therapy emphasizes collaboration
and active participation.
• Cognitive behavior therapy is goal oriented and
problem focused.
• Cognitive behavior therapy initially emphasizes the
present.
• Cognitive behavior therapy is educative, aims to teach
the patient to be their own therapist, and emphasizes
relapse prevention.
26. THE CORE OF THERAPY
• Active - clients engage in specific actions to alleviate their
problems. Clients do something about their difficulties, rather
than just talk about them. Exercising self-control has three
important advantages.
• Being responsible for the change is personally empowering.
• People who take action in changing their own behaviors are
more likely to maintain the change.
• People who become skilled in dealing with their problems
may be able to cope with future problems on their own, which
makes a self-control approach cost effective in the long run.
• Present focus - the focus of cognitive-behavior therapy is in
the present. Although clients problems may have originated
in the past, it exists in the present. CBT therapy is focused on
the present rather than the past.
• Learning focus - most problem thoughts/feelings/behaviors
(TFB) develop, are maintained, and change primarily through
learning. Although not all TFBs result from learning, almost
all TFBs are affected by learning, even if they have biological
components. CBT therapy provides people with learning
experiences in which new (adaptive) TFBs replace old
(maladaptive) TFBs.
27. CBT PRINCIPLES
• The cognitive principle: it is interpretations of events, not
events themselves, which are crucial.
• The behavioral principle: what we do has a powerful
influence on our thoughts and emotions.
• The continuum principle: mental-health problems are best
conceptualized as exaggerations of normal processes.
• The here-and-now principle: it is usually more fruitful to focus
on current processes rather than the past.
• The interacting-systems principle: it is helpful to look at
problems as interactions between thoughts, emotions,
behavior and physiology and the environment in which the
person operates.
• The empirical principle: it is important to evaluate both our
theories and our therapy empirically.
28. THE FOUR SYSTEMS
• Problems can usefully be described in
terms of the interactions between
four systems:
• The cognitive system - what a person
thinks, imagines, believes.
• The behavioral system - what they do or say
that can be directly observed by others.
• The affective system - their emotions.
• The physiological system - what happens to
their body, such as autonomic arousal or
changes in appetite.
29. 3 LEVELS OF
COGNITION
• Negative automatic thoughts - specific thoughts
that arise spontaneously in various situations,
which have a negative effect on mood, and which
are relatively accessible to consciousness.
• Dysfunctional assumptions - “rules for living” that
guide behavior and expectations in a variety of
situations, and which are often in conditional (if …
then …) form.
• Core beliefs - very general beliefs about oneself,
other people or the world in general, which operate
across a wide range of situation but which are
often not immediately conscious.

therapy: skills and applications (2nd ed.). Los Angeles: SAGE.
30. SCHEMA THERAPY
BRICKER, D., YOUNG, J.
2012
• Developed by Dr. Jeffrey Young
• Schema therapy is an integrated psychotherapy
combining theory and techniques from
previously existing therapies, including cognitive
behavioral therapy, psychoanalytic object
relations theory, attachment theory, and Gestalt
therapy.
• Schema therapy can help people change long-
term patterns, including the ways in which they
interact with other people.
31. • According to Young and colleagues (2003) an
Early Maladaptive Schema is defined as “a broad,
pervasive theme or pattern, comprised of
memories, emotions, cognitions, and bodily
sensations, regarding oneself and one’s
relationships with others, developed during
childhood or adolescence, elaborated
throughout one’s lifetime and dysfunctional to a
significant degree” (Young et al., 2003, p. 7).
Young and colleagues posited that the origin of
EMS stems from the frustration of core emotional
needs by negative experiences.
32. • The proposed five core emotional needs include:
1.Secure attachments to others (includes safety,
stability, nurturance, and acceptance);
2.Autonomy, competence, and sense of identity;
3.Freedom to express valid needs and emotions;
4.Spontaneity and play; and
5.Realistic limits and self-control.
From their perspective, Young and colleagues
(2003) claimed that the combination of early
experiences (nurture) and innate temperament
(nature) can result in either gratification or
frustration of these needs. EMS result from the
frustration of these needs by negative experience.
34. SCHEMA THERAPY: A
PRACTITIONER'S GUIDE.
GUILFORD PUBLICATIONS.
2003
JEFFREY YOUNG
• Early Maladaptive Schemas are self-
defeating emotional and cognitive patterns
that begin early in our development and
repeat throughout life. Note that, according
to this definition, an individual’s behavior is
not part of the schema itself; Young
theorizes that maladaptive behaviors
develop as responses to a schema. Thus
behaviors are driven by schemas but are
not part of schemas.
35. DISCONNECTION AND
REJECTION
• The expectation that one’s needs for
security, safety, stability, nurturance,
empathy, sharing of feelings, acceptance,
and respect will not be met in a
predictable manner. Typical family origin is
detached, cold, rejecting, withholding,
lonely, explosive, unpredictable, or abusive.
36. IMPAIRED AUTONOMY AND
PERFORMANCE
• Expectations about oneself and the
environment that interfere with one’s
perceived ability to separate, survive,
function independently, or perform
successfully. Typical family origin is
enmeshed, undermining of child’s
confidence, overprotective, or failing to
reinforce child for performing competently
outside the family.
37. IMPAIRED LIMITS
• Deficiency in internal limits, responsibility to others,
or long-term goal orientation. Leads to difficulty
respecting the rights of others, cooperating with
others, making commitments, or setting and
meeting realistic personal goals. Typical family
origin is characterized by permissiveness,
overindulgence, lack of direction, or a sense of
superiority rather than appropriate confrontation,
discipline, and limits in relation to taking
responsibility, cooperating in a reciprocal manner,
and setting goals. In some cases, the child may not
have been pushed to tolerate normal levels of
discomfort or may not have been given adequate
supervision, direction, or guidance.
38. OTHER DIRECTEDNESS
• An excessive focus on the desires, feelings,
and responses of others, at the expense of
one’s own needs in order to gain love and
approval, maintain one’s sense of connection,
or avoid retaliation. Usually involves
suppression and lack of awareness regarding
one’s own anger and natural inclinations.
Typical family origin is based on conditional
acceptance: Children must suppress important
aspects of themselves in order to gain love,
attention, and approval. In many such families,
the parents’ emotional needs and desires—or
social acceptance and status—are valued
more than the unique needs and feelings of
each child.
39. OVERVIGILANCE AND
INHIBITION
• Excessive emphasis on suppressing one’s
spontaneous feelings, impulses, and choices or on
meeting rigid, internalized rules and expectations
about performance and ethical behavior, often at
the expense of happiness, self-expression,
relaxation, close relationships, or health. Typical
family origin is grim, demanding, and sometimes
punitive: performance, duty, perfectionism,
following rules, hiding emotions, and avoiding
mistakes predominate over pleasure, joy, and
relaxation. There is usually an undercurrent of
pessimism and worry that things could fall apart if
one fails to be vigilant and careful at all times.
40. RECOGNIZING AND ADDRESSING
DEFENSE MECHANISMS
• Temporarily detach from strong emotional
experiences
• Define and name the feelings and needs involved
in strong emotional experiences
• Identify and investigate the inner images,
sounds, and sensations underlying your emotional
experiences
• Identify and contact the psychological party from
which the experience originates
41. • Refrain from judging emotional experiences based
on their pleasant and unpleasant quality
• Maintain a constructive, non-judgmental mindset
regarding your emotional experience
• Especially and carefully consider the roles of
fear, shame, guilt, and anger
• Consider that imbalanced or out of proportion
feelings may represent the past more than the
present
• Investigate your ‘hot buttons’
42. • Pay special attention to your responses in
relationships
• Notice conspicuously missing energies and
emotional states
• Look for unmet and conflicting needs
