Examples of combination therapy in the following topics:
-
- Antimicrobial drugs can interact with other drugs in deleterious ways or can be used in combination to combat microbial infections.
- Interactions between alcohol and certain antibacterials may occur, cause side-effects, and decrease effectiveness of antibacterial therapy.
- Clinicians have recommended that extra contraceptive measures be applied during therapies using antibacterials that are suspected to interact with oral contraceptives.
- This method is called combination therapy and is used when the nature of a microbial infection is unknown, as typified by the combination of the antibiotics ampicillin and sulbactam.
- Further, tuberculosis has been treated with combination therapy for over fifty years.
-
- While group therapy is sometimes used alone, it is more often used as part of a greater treatment plan that may include one-on-one therapy and/or medication.
- These principles summarize the benefits of group therapy:
- These patients may require additional support beyond group therapy.
- This theory is borne out by the impressive results obtained using mentalization-based treatment, a model that combines group therapy with individual therapy and case management.
- Clinical cases have shown that the combination of both individual and group therapy is typically the most beneficial for most clients.
-
- Other terms that can be used more or less interchangeably with the term "psychotherapy" include "counseling" and "therapy."
- These methods focus exclusively on behaviors, or on behaviors in combination with thoughts and feelings that might be causing them.
- CBT combines cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy to address maladaptive cognitions as well as dysfunctional behaviors.
- In this type of therapy, one or more therapists treat a small group of clients together as a group.
- Recently, many practitioners have begun to take what's known as an eclectic approach, meaning they combine aspects of multiple types 0f therapies.
-
- Cognitive therapy (CT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are closely related; however CBT is an umbrella category of therapies that includes cognitive therapy.
- The category refers to behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and therapies based on a combination of basic behavioral and cognitive principles and research, including dialectical behavior therapy.
- At its most basic level, it is a combination of cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy.
- Modern forms of CBT include a number of diverse but related techniques such as exposure therapy, stress inoculation training, cognitive processing therapy, cognitive therapy, relaxation training, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which is discussed in more detail below.
- DBT involves a combination of standard cognitive-behavioral techniques (e.g., reframing, emotion regulation testing) with acceptance approaches (e.g., distress tolerance, mindful awareness).
-
- Behavior therapy methods sometimes focus only on behaviors, and sometimes on combinations of thoughts and feelings that might be influencing behaviors.
- Behavior therapy stands apart from insight-based therapies (such as psychoanalytic and humanistic therapy) because the goal is to teach clients new behaviors to minimize or eliminate problems, rather than digging deeply into their subconscious or uncovering repressed feelings.
- Exposure therapy was first reported in 1924 by Mary Cover Jones, who is considered the mother of behavior therapy.
- In the second half of the 20th century, many therapists coupled behavior therapy with the cognitive therapy of Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis, forming cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
- Two large studies done by the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University indicates that behavior therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are equally effective for OCD.
-
- The techniques of the therapist include the ways in which the therapist approaches the therapy sessions.
- Ideally, therapies should use mixed methods to provide both quantitative and qualitative data.
- Each type of data provides different forms of information, together providing a fuller evaluation of the therapy.
- A meta-analysis comprises statistical methods for contrasting and combining results from different treatment-focused studies in the hope of identifying patterns among study results, sources of disagreement among those results, or other interesting relationships that may come to light in the context of multiple studies.
