,College 1
- Client-centred
- Family therapy
- Psychodynamic
- CBT

Three approaches to psychotherapy (videos)
- Client is a 48-year-old woman of Italian and Mexican heritage
- Works as a professional writer
- Had had therapy before, after a bad break up
- Problem: setting goals and never following through on them
- 2 sessions with 3 therapists of different orientations; called the gloria
tapes
o Les S. Greenberg – emotion focussed therapy
 Common approach to relationship therapy
 Very precise; asking loads of follow up questions; what
does that mean?
o Nancy McWilliams – psychoanalytic therapy
o Judith Beck – cognitive therapy


Emotion focused therapy:
- Focus on empathic attunement to the client and emotional
awareness and transformation
o What did it mean when you said that? How does that make
you feel?
o Trying to figure out what is going on; humanistic
- Integrates humanistic experiential therapies and neuroscience

Psychoanalytic therapy:
- Emphasizes the unconscious source of emotional suffering
o Having to move around a lot, not having a say; not developing
an agency, which no causes trouble
- Relationship with therapist and client is vehicle of change
- Focus on how past gets reenacted in the present

Cognitive therapy:
- Focus on automatic maladaptive thoughts, how that makes people
feel, and what behaviour results from it
o Believes influence; challenging these believes to get to our
core believes (something you may truly believe; I’m unlovable)

Brief history of psychotherapy
- Beck and Ellis; developed Cognitive behaviour therapy and cognitive
emotional therapy
o Both inspired by Epictetus; “it’s not what happens to you but
how you react to it is what matters”

, o Socratic dialogue: patient would question the assumptions
until they arrive at the logical conclusion
- Hippocrates; holistic view (drug therapy, diet, physical and mental
exercise)
o Used dreams for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons
- Freud; Freudian theory
o Founding father of psychoanalysis
o Freud is not synonymous with Freudian theory; hysterical
symptoms are the result of suppressed emotions relating to
trauma
o Seduction theory: childhood (sexual) trauma is really at the
root of the psychological problems > (later added) it can also
be imagined trauma
o psychoanalysis
- behaviourists: Pavlov, Skinner, Watson
o early 20th century
o conditioning experiments
o major inspiration for CBT
 operant condition strategies (i.e. Reinforcement- based
procedures)
 relaxation techniques & desensitization

beginnings of psychotherapy research
- end of 18th century
o people locked up in institutions
o lots of technological advances; magnetism
- Mesmer
o Discovery of treatment of hysteria/ nerve diseases with
magnets
o Personal magnetism: instead of magnets he thought that he
could do what the magnets did
o Vienna & Paris
o Franklin committee; first series of investigations of
psychological treatment in history
 They did blinded experiments; they had to find the
magnetised tree
 Proven through decisive experiments that;
 Imagination without magnetism leads to
convulsions
 Magnetism without imagination leads to nothing
 No reason to believe that magnetic fluidum exist
 This means that the strong result from:
 Touching
 Imagination
 Imitation of behaviour observed in others
 Imagination probably strongest effect.
- Lesson learned
o Effects of imagination on behaviour
o Expectancies
