1. The study examines an integrated treatment method using embodiment techniques like imitation and synchronization to improve empathy, relationship satisfaction, and conflict resolution in couples therapy.
2. The treatment combines cognitive and affective schema work to increase understanding of partners' hidden emotions and intentions, with an emphasis on how the body can aid in generating and regulating emotions.
3. It is hypothesized that the treatment group will show significant increases in empathy, relationship satisfaction, and decreases in depression compared to the waitlist control group, demonstrating the effectiveness of incorporating embodiment into traditional cognitive and behavioral relationship therapies.
Mode Deactivation Therapy (MDT) was developed as an alternative to standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for treating adolescents with behavioral and complex comorbid problems. MDT incorporates principles from CBT, DBT, ACT, and FAP. It is based on Beck's theory of modes and aims to overcome limitations of CBT by assessing and reconstructing adolescents' core beliefs using modes. MDT uses mindfulness, acceptance, and validation techniques to help adolescents manage fears, triggers and core beliefs that lead to maladaptive behaviors. A key part of MDT is developing therapeutic relationships and family support systems to encourage new coping skills and reduce anxiety.
The document discusses Mode Deactivation Therapy (MDT), an evidence-based treatment for adolescents. It provides details on the theoretical constructs of MDT, including that MDT views psychopathology as arising from "modes", which are networks of cognitive, affective, motivational and behavioral components that are activated in response to specific problems or demands. MDT aims to deactivate maladaptive modes by balancing perceptions, physiological responses, and behaviors in therapy sessions. The document also provides data on populations that have been treated with MDT and compares MDT to other therapies.
Is IPT time limited psychodynamic psychotherapy? (Markovitz et al, 1998)Sharon
Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) and short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP) are compared across eight aspects: time limit, medical model, goals, interpersonal focus, techniques, termination, therapeutic stance, and empirical support. While IPT and STPP share some similarities, such as a focus on interpersonal relationships and support from the therapist, they differ in key ways. IPT has a strict time limit of 12-16 weeks, uses a medical model framework with a focus on diagnosing and treating the patient's psychiatric illness. In contrast, STPP does not have a fixed time limit and focuses more on underlying unconscious conflicts from early childhood and character defenses rather than diagnoses. The authors conclude that despite some overlaps,
This document provides an overview of stage 1 of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, which involves assessment and de-escalation of negative interaction cycles. The 4 steps of stage 1 are: 1) identify relationship issues and conflicts, 2) identify the negative interaction cycle, 3) access underlying attachment-oriented emotions, and 4) reframe problems in terms of the cycle and emotions. Key goals are developing trust, identifying pursuer-withdrawer patterns, softening blaming stances, and facilitating expression of primary emotions like hurt, fear, and shame. The therapist aims to understand each partner's experience and restructure maladaptive interactional positions and cycles.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills to promote acceptance and change for well-being. It combines strategies of acceptance and change. Clients study four skills modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT benefits those struggling with substance abuse, emotional eating, anxiety, mood swings, and low self-esteem by teaching skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and effective interpersonal communication.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a couples therapy approach that views couple distress as being maintained by absorbing negative affect in rigid interaction patterns. EFT aims to make safe emotional engagement possible through a three stage process: assessment and de-escalation of negative cycles, restructuring the bond by accessing implicit needs and promoting acceptance, and consolidation through enacting new stories and solutions. Recent research in the science of love and attachment provides a theory for understanding adult love and the importance of co-regulation between partners for health and well-being. EFT training seminars are offered in a villa in Tuscany, Italy for professionals seeking to learn this evidence-based approach.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy. A Guide To The Basics. (Stuart, 2006)Sharon
Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a time-limited psychotherapy that focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and social support systems. IPT is based on attachment theory, communication theory, and social theory. The main targets of IPT are relieving psychiatric symptoms, resolving or changing interpersonal problems related to conflicts, transitions, or losses, and strengthening social support networks. Key tactics include using an Interpersonal Inventory to identify problem areas and an Interpersonal Formulation to synthesize relevant relationship information and guide treatment. IPT aims to help patients improve communication, work through emotional difficulties, and develop supportive relationships.

This document discusses mental disorders and their treatment. It begins by describing behaviors that seem unusual like checking a bag frequently or having increased anxiety before an exam, and notes that these could be signs of mental disorders. Mental disorders develop gradually due to factors like heredity, personality, stress tolerance, childhood experiences, and an inability to cope with stressors. The document then discusses the nature of stress and conflicts/frustrations as sources of disturbed mental health. It provides examples of different types of stressors, conflicts, and frustrations people may experience. Finally, it notes that people generally use problem-focused or emotion-focused coping strategies to deal with stressors, but that sometimes leads to mental disorders if coping is ineffective.
1. The document discusses phase 2 and 3 of complex trauma casework, focusing on trauma memory, emotion processing, and avoidance.
2. Key elements of phase 2 include addressing post-traumatic emotional dysregulation through interventions targeting avoidance and extreme arousal states. Techniques for processing trauma emotions like prolonged exposure and cognitive processing therapy are examined.
3. SAFER strategies are outlined to help with self-care, acknowledgement versus avoidance, functioning, expression of emotions, and relationships during trauma processing. Evidence-based treatments like prolonged exposure and cognitive processing therapy aim to safely expose clients to traumatic memories and rework emotional responses.
Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a time-limited, 12-20 session psychotherapy designed to treat depression. It focuses on interpersonal relationships and how disruptions in relationships may contribute to depression. IPT has three phases - initial, intermediate, and termination. In the initial phase, the therapist diagnoses depression, educates the patient, and identifies problematic relationship areas. Common problem areas addressed in IPT include grief, disputes, role transitions, and interpersonal deficits. In the intermediate phase, the therapist works with the patient to address the identified problems and improve interpersonal skills. The termination phase reviews progress and prepares the patient to end treatment. IPT has been shown to be an effective treatment for depression and other disorders by resolving inter
Utilizing clips from the feature films "Ali" and "Magnolia," Dr. Tobin emphasizes the importance of regret in adult development. When pursued in psychotherapy, regrets a patient experiences serve as a bridge into vital aspects of emotional development, mourning, and self-integration. Further, Dr. Tobin introduces the notions of "otherness" and "non-meaning" and characterizes their relevance for personal and existential experience.
Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for complex trauma that involves multiple phases. It begins with establishing safety and stabilization, followed by trauma-focused elements and gradual exposure to trauma memories. The final phase involves rehabilitation. Research shows multi-phasic, multi-modal treatment is most effective for complex trauma involving multiple or chronic traumatic events, especially those involving childhood trauma. TF-CBT incorporates elements from other therapies while retaining a cognitive behavioral structure and focusing on meeting client needs.
Using Mindfulness & Acceptance Based Therapy for Treating BEDMichael Puhala
The document discusses using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to treat binge eating disorder (BED). ACT differs from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy by not trying to change thoughts and feelings, but rather accepting them. It uses mindfulness and metaphors to target experiential avoidance. BED is characterized by recurrent binge eating episodes where a person feels lack of control over eating. Triggers for binges include emotions and unstructured time. ACT can help people commit to values-based actions and accept unpleasant private experiences. Research studies show promise for using ACT to address obesity and BED.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral treatment developed to treat borderline personality disorder. It uses individual therapy, group skills training, telephone coaching, and a therapist consultation team. DBT aims to help patients manage emotions and impulses through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Studies have found DBT reduces self-harm behaviors and improves social and work functioning for patients with borderline personality disorder.
Emotionally focused couples therapy is a form of therapy that aims to change negative interaction patterns and emotional responses between partners to build a stronger emotional bond. It involves 9 steps, including assessing the problem, accessing underlying emotions, reframing issues, and facilitating new solutions. Research shows that couples therapy can be effective, with treated clients functioning better than most untreated individuals, and one third to two thirds of couples achieving nondistressed levels of functioning after therapy.
This PPT contains topic Learning from Unit 3 Cognitive Process of the subject Psychology for F.Y.B.SC.Nursing.
Learning, as a cognitive process, involves acquiring knowledge, skills, understanding, and behaviors through experience, study, practice, or teaching. It's a fundamental aspect of human cognition, enabling individuals to adapt, solve problems, make decisions, and improve their performance in various domains of life. Cognitive processes play a critical role in how we perceive, encode, store, and retrieve information during the learning process.
The document discusses several principles for developing therapeutic alliances in couple counseling, including maintaining multiple alliances with each partner and the couple as a unit, adopting frameworks that account for interactions within therapeutic triangles, and creating dialogical space that allows both partners to feel heard while managing tension and conflict in the relationship.
This document discusses a study on the effects of a psychosocial intervention program on reducing aggression in a community. The study will use a quasi-experimental design to test the hypotheses that a psychosocial intervention program can improve behaviors and reduce aggression. Surveys will be used to measure aggression levels in students before and after the intervention program using the VALANTI test. The goal is to determine if the intervention program produces significant differences in aggressive behavior, violence, and love test scores between the pre-and-post tests. Informed consent will be obtained from participating students and the study aims to identify aggression levels and evaluate the impact of the social intervention program.
1) The document discusses the use of psychosocial interventions (PSI) for patients with severe mental illness, including techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy.
2) It presents a case study of a patient named Andrea who was admitted to an acute psychiatric ward and describes how staff overcame obstacles to engage Andrea and her family using PSI approaches.
3) Key aspects of the PSI used included flexible time for the nurse to build rapport with Andrea, assessing her symptoms and medication side effects, involving her family by addressing needs and devising a crisis plan, and explaining the stress vulnerability model to provide support and communication.
Psychodynamic couple therapy is based on psychoanalytic theory and focuses on interpreting defenses and anxieties to foster change. The therapist aims to join with the couple at an unconscious level to provide emotional containment and interpret anxieties that previously overwhelmed them. Key theories underlying psychodynamic couple therapy include Fairbairn's model of psychic structures, Klein's theory of projective identification, and Winnicott's theory of the parent-infant relationship, which all view relationships and unconscious processes as central to understanding couples.

The Southwest Express Library (SWX) and Walter Library have partnered with USCIS to help immigrants through the naturalization process. Citizenship Corners were created at both libraries to provide educational materials from USCIS. The libraries also promote citizenship classes on the citizenshipcorner.org website. USCIS representatives regularly visit the citizenship classes to directly communicate with applicants and provide information about the naturalization process. Students have attended open houses at the Houston USCIS office to learn about the naturalization interview. The partnership between the libraries and USCIS helps educate immigrants and bring the naturalization process to a local level.
The Get Wet project worked with four schools and their teachers to develop engaging pedagogies around the topic of water. In the first cycle, the university staff found that while teachers were good at identifying big questions and planning activities, they lacked knowledge of core disciplinary concepts. In the second cycle, university staff worked with teachers and artists to ensure lesson plans incorporated clear "meso concepts" from disciplines like chemistry, science, and geography. This improved both teaching of the concepts and student understanding and retention of knowledge well beyond the formal curriculum. The project demonstrated that engaging pedagogies could effectively teach higher-level disciplinary knowledge without dumbing down content.

Fundamental Elements of CBT
According to Juarascio, Forman, and Herbert (2010), the broad nature of CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) defies the use of any single/clear definition. The author’s idea concurs with the ABCT’ (Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, the international organization committed to the advancement of CBT), which escapes the use of any precise definition. Instead, the organization identifies its mission as advancing the scientific methods that target the clarification of many issues in the human condition (ABCT, n.d.). However, CBT therapies have special characteristics which make them unique in the presence of other psychotherapies. For instance, therapists form a collaborative working relationship with clients to identify the root causes of problems and challenge them. They believe that the problems/disorders originate from maladaptive cognitions which result from faulty perceptions about the world and its components (Cully & Teten, 2008). Comment by Donna O'Hara: Not sure it captures the clinical purpose of this assignment
Hofmann, Asmundson, and Beck (2013) contend that maladaptive cognitions comprise of general perceptions, attitudes or schemas concerning the humankind, self, the environment or the future which spark routine thoughts in a defined set of situations. Additionally, the therapy focuses on the present rather than the past and emphasizes on principles regarding how the clients interpret the world (Cully & Teten, 2008). Personality development is a result of internal thoughts and cognitions that define an individual’s worldview. Lastly, Hofmann (2011) argues that CBT is an umbrella term for many interventions that use an effective combination of cognitive, behavioral, and emotion-focused methods in psychotherapy. In this case, rational behavior represents facts and helps individuals feel as they would like and to achieve goals.
The concepts behind modern CBT were founded by Aaron Beck. Hayes and Hofmann (2017) argues that CBT’s history has three different generations that tend to overlap. The first generation comprises of the research by Skinner, Wolpe, and Eysenck who were concerned with the prevalent limitations of psychoanalytic therapy. The scholars used operant conditioning principle to study behavior modification primarily by using experiments with animals. In the second generation, Ellis’ (1962) and Beck, Rush Shaw, and Emery (1979) developed the rational emotive behavior therapy and the cognitive therapy respectively to illustrate the significance of language and cognition in psychopathology. They focused on the effects emotional interpretations in shaping the experiences of people. At this stage, clinical trials were used to test the efficacy of treatment programs.Comment by Donna O'Hara: yearComment by Donna O'Hara: yearComment by Donna O'Hara: such as????

From a psychoanalytic perspective, Deidre appears to be experiencing anxiety because of unconscious conflicts originating from her early childhood experiences (e.g., parents’ divorce and mom’s moods), her complicated family relationships, the untimely death of her father, and her abortion. Additionally, Deidre is experiencing a high level of guilt indicating that her ego is struggling to balance between the instinctual drives of her id and the drives of her superego (i.e., the aspect of self that looks at the morality of choices) (Johnson, 2016). It could be that Deidre is experiencing unconscious psychological conflicts surrounding the secret of her abortion, her desire to feel safe with her boyfriend, Tom, and her need to remain loyal to the values she learned from her childhood (i.e., to kill is wrong).
Deidre is using some defense mechanisms—including repression, which blocks these conflicts from her awareness, avoidance, and rationalization—that help her cope with her fears of abandonment. According to Johnson (2016), these defense mechanisms, unconsciously employed to bolster Deidre’s fragile ego, could be linked to Freud’s concept of death instincts that might be related to her father’s early death and her fear of losing Tom.
Goals
According to Johnson (2016), the primary goal of a psychoanalytic approach is to bring Deidre’s unconscious processes into her conscious awareness to illustrate how she is blocking past experiences to help herself cope with her present experiences. The overarching goal of psychoanalysis is to help the client gain self-awareness, so she will be able to understand how past experiences and relationships are causing emotional and cognitive distortions (Johnson, 2016).
In addition to the overarching theory goals, one clinical goal the counselor will work on with Deidre is reducing the overall frequency, intensity and duration of her anxiety so that her daily functioning is maximized; this will be accomplished with the use of psychoanalytic interventions.
Interventions
Free Association
During the counseling session, clients are encouraged to state any thoughts or feelings that come to mind without censoring them. Then, in a nonjudgmental way, the counselor assists clients to analyze the underlying unconscious feelings associated with these disclosures (Johnson, 2016). The goal is not to u ...
The document discusses depression, somatization disorders, and their treatment. For somatization disorder, cognitive behavioral therapy and tricyclic antidepressants can be effective treatments. Symptoms can be evaluated before and during treatment using the PHQ-15 questionnaire. Depression is associated with changes in neurotransmitters like serotonin and treatments include SSRIs, psychotherapy, and evaluating response using scales like the HAM-D. Reducing stigma around depression involves education about mental health and advocating for greater rights. For adolescent depression, CBT and SSRIs are commonly used treatments, with education about potential increased suicide risks from antidepressants.
Psycholawlogy emotional intelligence stress management articles Dan DeFoe, JD, MS
This study investigated how trait emotional intelligence (TEI) and ability emotional intelligence (AEI) work together to influence coping strategies and mental health outcomes like depression. The study found that TEI and AEI have a weak relationship with each other and measure distinct concepts. When analyzed separately, only a combination of high TEI and AEI showed an effect on reducing depression through avoidant coping strategies. Specifically, when stressors like family dysfunction were coupled with high TEI and above average AEI, it showed beneficial impacts in reducing depression. The researchers concluded that TEI and AEI work together and reinforce each other to influence coping strategies and protection against depression when dealing with stressors.
Emotion Recognition and Emotional Resonance: Exploring the Relationship betwe...Rebecca Noskeau
This document summarizes a study that explored the relationship between facial expression recognition and empathy. The study found that females scored higher than males on an empathy questionnaire. Scores on the empathy questionnaire were positively correlated with accuracy in identifying facial expressions. Participants were most accurate and resonated most with facial expressions of happiness and the three female facial stimuli. Certain emotions like happiness and surprise were identified more accurately than others like fear and anger. Females recognized anger more accurately than males. The findings support a relationship between empathy and facial expression recognition abilities.
Comparing Psychotherapy with Other Approaches.docx4934bk
This document compares humanistic-existential psychotherapy to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It discusses key differences in their approaches, with humanistic-existential psychotherapy focusing on understanding one's true self and existential journey, while CBT aims to change undesirable thoughts and behaviors. While they differ in focus, both can be tailored to individual patient needs and may have overlapping benefits. The document analyzes videos demonstrating humanistic-existential psychotherapy and reviews literature on the efficacy of both approaches.
Clinical Psychology. By Theresa Lowry-Lehnen. Lecturer of Psychology.Theresa Lowry-Lehnen
The document provides information about the field of clinical psychology. It discusses several key points:
- Clinical psychology involves the study and application of psychology to understand, prevent, and relieve psychologically-based distress. Central to its practice are psychological assessment and psychotherapy.
- Clinical psychologists work within various therapy models to form a therapeutic alliance with clients and encourage new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. The major therapeutic perspectives are psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral, existential-humanistic, and family systems therapy.
- Clinical psychologists are trained in psychological assessment, different therapy approaches, and analyzing psychometric tests. They draw from multiple approaches in their work with clients.
This summarizes the main ideas about the field
This document summarizes the Person-of-the-Therapist Training (POTT) model, which prioritizes a therapist's ability to consciously use their own emotional struggles and "signature themes" to effectively connect with and help clients. The model trains therapists to understand their core personal issues and learn to work through them when engaging clients. This approach values therapists' humanity and believes their wounds can become sources of healing if they take responsibility for consciously using all aspects of themselves in therapy. The document outlines the key assumptions and goals of the POTT model and how it differs from perspectives focused primarily on therapists resolving their own issues.
Positive psychology evolved from a recognition that the clinical encounter is often over-focused on concerns and problems, and that positive actions may not have a central role in the treatment plan. With youth, many issues - treatment compliance, help-seeking, impulsive self-harm, high risk-taking - may be ameliorated with a plan of positive actions. The technology that are youths' worlds may deliver some of these therapeutics. Resilience may be galvanized when inner resources interacts with external resources. This talk will introduce the evidence-based components of a resilience in youth App, JoyPop, and open discuss for research use in clinical populations.
Visual journaling can provide benefits through various theoretical frameworks including disclosure, positive psychology, art therapy, and stress/coping theories. It allows people to express and process emotions in a creative way through writing or visual art. Studies show emotional disclosure through writing about stressful events can improve both psychological and physical health by reducing stress hormones, strengthening immune function, and changing how people think about negative experiences. Visual journaling incorporates elements of positive psychology like appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, humor, and spirituality to help people transcend daily struggles and find meaning. Research indicates cultivating gratitude, optimism, and mindfulness through activities like visual journaling can enhance well-being and happiness.

The researcher used data from the SOFIA study( Social and Physical Development, Int.
This document discusses social cognition in individuals with bipolar disorder. It begins by defining social cognition and outlining its key dimensions. It then reviews studies comparing social cognition abilities in individuals with bipolar disorder versus healthy controls. The studies show impairments in areas like theory of mind, emotion processing, and attributional biases. Differences are also seen between bipolar type I and II. While some social cognition abilities are preserved, deficits tend to be more pronounced than in individuals with schizophrenia. Overall, the document analyzes research on social cognition challenges in bipolar disorder.

Acceptance And Commitment Therapy Integrated With Stuttering Management A Ca...Crystal Sanchez
The document describes a case study that investigated the effectiveness of integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with stuttering management for a 17-year-old male client with developmental stuttering. Assessment measures found very severe stuttering and moderate to severe impact on the client's experiences. Therapy involved 12 weekly individual sessions combining stuttering modification techniques with ACT to target psychological inflexibility. Post-therapy evaluations showed a reduction in stuttering symptoms and psychosocial impact that was maintained at follow-ups, supporting the effectiveness of integrating ACT with speech management.

23. Discussion
1. Hypothesis 1 partially confirmed for treatment group
compared to control for significant and meaningful increases
with intervention in satisfaction and empathy.
2. No significant change in treatment group‘s depression and
attachment style in general close relationship.
3. Potential ceiling effects for depression in a non
psychopathological baseline treatment group.
4. No change in attachment style possibly due to it being how
participants generally experience their relationships (not
intervention specific), or not enough time to follow up
generalistion of new skills with other people they are close to.
24. Discussion
5. Personal distress upon seeing negative emotions of others
(including partner) increased significantly for the treatment
group and not the control group. This suggests that as we do
deep emotional work initially and our partner embodies these
emotions via imitation. Emotional contagion may have occurred.
6. However as the couples were more satisfied with
intervention it suggests couples could stand experiencing
increases in personal distress about their partners suffering.
Further follow up testing will clarify whether the PD measure is
a reaction to experiencing their partners previously hidden high
emotions
