(57 cards)
The goal of psychoanalysis is to achieve this which is the conscious awareness of the psychodynamics that underlie their problems
Insight
In this technique, Freud asked his clients to recline in a couch and to report verbally without censorship any thoughts, feelings, or images that entered awareness
Free association
Avoidance patterns emerge in the course of therapy; defensive manoeuvres that hinder the process of therapy
Resistance
Occurs when the client responds irrationally to the analyst as if he or she were an important figure from the client’s past
Transference
Is any statement by the therapist intended to provide the client with insight into his or her behaviour or dynamics
Interpretation
Highly structured and seldom takes longer than 15-20 sessions; focuses on the client’s current interpersonal problems; proven to be one of the more effective current therapies for depression and for somatic system disorders
Interpersonal therapy
View humans as capable of consciously controlling their actions and taking responsibility for their choices and behaviour
Humanistic theorists
Developed by Carl Roger which goal is to develop a genuine and caring relationship with the client
Client-centred therapy
Communicated when therapists shows clients they genuinely care care about and accept them
Unconditional positive regard
Willingness and ability to view the world through the client’s eyes
Empathy
Consistency between the way the therapists feels and the way he or she behaves
Genuineness
Refers to the perceptual principles through which people actively organize stimulus elements into meaningful “whole” patterns
Gestalt
In this technique, a client may be asked to imagine his mother sitting in the chair, and then carry on a conversation in which he alternatively role-plays his mother and himself, changing chairs for each role and honestly telling her how he feels about important issues in their relationship
Empty-chair technique
Focus on the role of irrational and self-defeating thought patterns; help clients discover and change the cognitions that underlie their problems
Cognitive therapies
ABCD’s of rational emotive therapy
Activating even
Belief system
Consequences
Disputing or challenging maladaptive emotions,behaviours
Aaron Beck’s Cognitive therapy goal is
To point out errors of thinking and logic that underlie emotional disturbance and to help clients identify and reprogram their overlearned “automatic” thought patterns
Used to reduce or decondition anxiety responses; have used in attempts to condition new anxiety responses to a particular class of stimuli
Classical conditioning procedures
Treat phobias through exposure to feared CS (learned negative situation) in the absence of UCS (natural eliciting situation)
Exposure behaviour therapy
Used to keep the operant avoidance response from occurring
Response prevention
Exposing to real life stimuli; reaction to stimuli gets smaller after multiple exposure
Flooding
Thinking/imagining about the conditioned stimuli
Imploding/implosion therapy
Learned-based treatment for anxiety disorders
Systematic desensitization
A new response that is incompatible with anxiety is conditioned to the anxiety-arousing CS
Counterconditioning
Therapist pairs a stimulus that is attractive to a person and that stimulates deviant or self -defeating behaviour (the CS) with a noxious UCS in an attempt to condition an aversion to the CS
Aversion therapy
