Group Therapy primary purpose - ANSThe primary purpose of group therapy is to facilitate
changes by the patient to address identified problems.
A technique for dealing with an over talkative client and silence from other participants in a
group during therapy - ANSmake an observation about the group's silence and invite the others
to comment
the technique of "Information Giver". - ANSDuring group members sharing methods they
personally use for dealing with problems
CBT - ANSconsists of active questioning, homework assignments, and dream survey. The
therapist helps the patient consider personal ideas and beliefs in order to increase the patient's
realization about how thoughts influence behaviors.
Attachment - ANSAttempts to explain the dynamics of interpersonal relationships between
humans. A child needs to form a relationship between at least one primary caregiver.
Mileu - ANSMilieu therapy requires consideration of the client's social, economic, and cultural
status.
Complementary Alternative Medicine vs Western major difference - ANSWestern medicine
focuses on what is done to the patient whereas CAM focuses on mind-body interactions.
Beck - ANSBeck developed the cognitive model of depression and the concept that cognitive
processing distortions underlie psychological disorders
ACTIVE, TIME-LIMITED APPROACH
depression can be understood via schemas: - ANSBeck;
cognitive errors, and the cognitive triad (i.e., negative views of self, tendency toward interpreting
experiences in a negative manner, and holding negative views of the future).
Beck assumption - ANSDistorted thinking contributes to and maintains bheavior (symptoms)
Ellis - ANSRET (Rational Emotive Therapy) a form of cbt
ret - ANSunrealistic and irrational beliefs cause many emotional problems. The purpose of RET
is to identify an irrational belief and dispute it through active, philosophical, confrontational
therapy.
, RET assumption - ANSPeople make themselves sick anytime they escalate a desire or
preference into a demand or absolute must. (People become who they become based on their
beliefs).
Skinner - ANSoperant conditioning
Operant conditioning - ANSvoluntary behaviors are learned through consequences, and
behavioral responses are elicited through reinforcement, which causes a behavior to occur
more frequently. Positive reinforcement- getting a gift, or negative reinforcement- removal of
objectionable' or aversive stimulus
Skinner - ANSAbsence of reinforcement, or extinction, also decreases behavior by withholding a
reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this strategy in the classroom when they
ignore acting-out behavior that had previously been rewarded by more attention.
Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying or replacing behaviors.
Behavior management and modification programs based on his principles have shown to be
successful in altering targeted behaviors. Programmed learning and token economies represent
extensions of Skinner's thoughts on learning. Behavioral methods are particularly effective with
children, adolescents, and individuals with many forms of chronic mental illness.
Universality - ANSYaslom: The recognition of shared experiences and feelings among group
members and that these may be widespread or universal human concerns, serves to remove a
group member's sense of isolation, validate their experiences, and raise self-esteem.
Altruism - ANSYaslom: The group is a place where members can help each other, and the
experience of being able to give something to another person can lift the member's self esteem
and help develop more adaptive coping styles and interpersonal skills.
Instillation of hope - ANSYaslom: In a mixed group that has members at various stages of
development or recovery, a member can be inspired and encouraged by another member who
has overcome the problems with which they are still struggling.
Imparting information - ANSYaslom: While this is not strictly speaking a psychotherapeutic
process, members often report that it has been very helpful to learn factual information from
other members in the group, for example, about their treatment or about access to services.
Corrective recapitulation of primary family experience - ANSYaslom: Members often
unconsciously identify the group therapist and other group members with their own parents and
siblings in a process that is a form of transference specific to group psychotherapy. The
therapist's interpretations can help group members gain understanding of the impact of
childhood experiences on their personality, and they may learn to avoid unconsciously repeating
unhelpful past interactive patterns in present-day relationships.
