Examples of cognitive therapy in the following topics:
-
- Cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapies address the interplay between dysfunctional emotions, maladaptive behaviors, and biased cognitions.
- 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.
- Discuss the goals, techniques, and efficacy of cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapies
-
- Other terms that can be used more or less interchangeably with the term "psychotherapy" include "counseling" and "therapy."
- Although its roots are in psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapy tends to be briefer and less intensive than traditional psychoanalysis.
- Cognitive therapy seeks to identify maladaptive cognitions (thoughts), appraisals, beliefs, and reactions, with the aim of influencing destructive negative emotions.
- 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.
-
- Behavior therapy is a treatment approach that is based on the idea that abnormal behavior is learned.
- 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.
-
- Compared to other forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy emphasizes the relationship between client and therapist as an agent of change.
- There are several forms of psychodynamic psychotherapy, such as interpersonal therapy (IPT) and person-centered therapy.
- Person-centered therapy is less structured and non-directive.
- In 2013, the world's largest randomized controlled trial on therapy with anorexia outpatients, the ANTOP study, proved modified psychodynamic therapy to be more effective than cognitive behavioral therapy in the long term.
- A French 2004 report from INSERM said that psychodynamic therapy is less effective than other psychotherapies (including cognitive behavioral therapy) for certain diseases.
-
- Cognitive abilities such as memory may see a decline in late adulthood.
- As an individual ages into late adulthood, psychological and cognitive changes can sometimes occur.
- These can include education and support for the caregiver and daily exercise programs or cognitive or behavioral therapies for the person with the disorder.
- Cognitive ability changes over the course of a person's lifespan, but keeping the mind engaged and active is the best way to keep thinking sharp.
-
- Expressive therapies use the creative arts as a form of therapy; systemic therapies emphasize the treatment of a system rather than an individual.
- Expressive therapy, also known as expressive arts therapy and creative arts therapy, is the use of the creative arts as a form of therapy.
- "Expressive therapy" is a general term for many types of therapy.
- Systemic therapy has its roots in family therapy, or more precisely, family systems therapy, as it later came to be known.
- According to a 2004 French government study, family and couples therapy was the second most effective therapy after cognitive-behavioral therapy.
-
- In addition to the more common forms of psychotherapy (including humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches), there are several alternative, body-oriented therapies that serve specific purposes.
- A wide variety of techniques are used in body-oriented therapies, including sound, touch, mirroring, movement, and breath.
- Light therapy is used to treat certain sleep disorders and can also be used to treat seasonal affective disorder.
- As with many alternative therapies, body-oriented therapy is criticized for its lack of scientific validation and empirical evidence.
- In addition, the importance of ethical issues in body-oriented therapy has been highlighted on account of the intimacy of the techniques used in several kinds of therapies.
-
- Therapy falls into two general categories: individual and group therapy.
- Gestalt therapy was developed by Fritz Perls.
- A criticism of Gestalt therapy is that clients tend to have highly emotional moments, which can hinder a cognitive analysis due to the therapist focusing on the emotion.
- Person-centered therapy was founded by Carl Rogers.
- Psychoanalytic therapy is based upon Freud's theories.
-
- Biomedical therapies involve the use of medication and/or medical procedures to treat psychological disorders.
- Two types of therapy are psychotherapy and biomedical therapy.
- Biomedical therapy involves medication and/or medical procedures to treat psychological disorders.
- Another biologically based treatment that continues to be used, although infrequently, is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT; formerly known by the unscientific name "electroshock therapy").
- Advances in surgical technique have greatly reduced the incidence of death and serious damage from psychosurgery; the remaining risks include seizures, incontinence, decreased drive and initiative, weight gain, and cognitive and affective problems.
-
- 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.
- Group therapy can be based on any theoretical approach, from cognitive-behavioral to humanistic.
- 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.
