Final KMS Flashcards
3 phases of stress inoculation
1.Education
2. Skill acquisition/rehearsal
3. Application
benefits of relaxation
muscle tension, depression, fatigue, insomnia, back pain, high blood pressure
conceptualization of depression from psychoanalytic perspective
Freud conceptualizes depression as a reaction to loss, with anger toward the lost
object/person/feeling turned inward on the self; self-punishment
● Therapy involves looking beyond the loss, uncovering its deeper meaning, and mastering
unconscious issues
conceptualization of depression from a behavioral perspective
Low levels of reward, high levels of punishment
○ Depressive behaviors are learned and maintained because of reinforcement
two properties of good communication
1) Expression of feelings openly & directly.
2) Encouraging the other individual to express their feelings.
identify the distortion
Write down your negative thoughts, identify the corresponding distortion(s)
Examine the evidence
examining evidence for negative thoughts
Double Standard Method
would you say this to a friend?
The Experimental Technique
Do an experiment to test the validity of your negative thought.
5) Thinking in Shades of Gray-
Combats all or nothing thought. Evaluate things on a range from 0-100.
The Survey Method
ask people questions to find out if your thoughts and attitudes are realistic.
Define Terms
if you give yourself a negative label, ask yourself to define these labels.
The Semantic Method
Simply substitute language that is less colorful, emotionally loaded.
Re attribution
instead of automatically blaming yourself for an issue, examine what other factors may have contributed to it
Cost Benefit Analysis
List pros and cons of a particular thought, feeling, or belief.
characteristics of bad communico
truth, blame, martyrdom, put-down (imply the other person is a loser bc they always/never do something), hopelessness, demandingness ( demand better treatment without asking directly), passive agression, self blame, helping (just want to solve the other’s prblem), sarcasm ( words/tone of voice convey tension or hostility), scapegoating ( insisting the other person has a problem and youre sane and happy), defensiveness, counterattack, diversion ( listing past injustices)
10 forms of twisted thinking
all or nothing ( black or white) , overgeneralization ( always , never), mental filter ( 1 negative detail and dwell), discounting the positive, jumping to conclusions, magnification ( importance of shortcomings), emotional reasoning , should statements, labeling, personalization and blame, fortune telling
Five steps are involved in Meichenbaum’s self-instructional training. List all five of them, then explain what happens during the cognitive modeling phase.
Cognitive modeling- therapist says outloud
Cognitive participant modeling- client does the same thing and while therapist instructs client
Overt self-instruction- client repeats instructions and does task
Fading overt self-instruction- whisper instructions
Covert self-instruction- client does without speaking
psychoanalytic perspective
Using some of the oldest forms of converting people to a new faith, cognitive therapists systematically tear apart the patient’s worldview
Patients are invalidated and confused as their own explanations for their problems are characterized as dysfunctional or irrational
Cognitive therapists ram away at the clients’ ego processes and they thus become vulnerable to whatever the therapist is selling
Cognitive therapist offers intellectualization and rationalization
Humanistic perspective
Alienation not negative schema, is the syndrome of our age
Too many people have list the ability to be outraged over the injustices of society
Cognitive therapists recognize the power of collaboration, but your own research evidence shows that empathy, support, warmth, and all those quintessential feel-touchy parts of the relationship prove just as efficacious in cognitive therapy
Cultural perspective
Rational thinking and the scientific orientation may fit well with the preferred processes of stoic white, male euro-americans
May neither fit nor respond to the diverse ways of knowing non-whites, nonmales, and non-europeans
Challenging beliefs does not fit well with some cultures and genders
may reinforce a woman’s sense of inadequacy
Problems with people and the way to fix them are located inside the individual’s head, rather than out in the culture and in the world
Integrative perspective
Some patients distress themselves by thinking in demanding or absolute terms
Cognitive therapies jump to generalization that virtually all patients do so
Cognitive therapists behave as though cognitive therapy is the treatment choice for everyone
Overgeneralizations negate the tragic side of life, and devalue the emotional side of humans
Cognitive therapy overgeneralizes about the status of certain emotions
behavioral perpective on criticisms
Vast majority of studies no formal assessment was performed on the extent to which REBT could be distinguished from comparison treatments
Difficult to rationalize how a therapist advocating empirical solutions has himself procured so much dialogue and so few studies
what techniques are helpful in expressing feelings
Drawing pictures
Writing letter
Journal
Using metaphors, analogies
Scaling
Role playing
