Transtheoretical Model (TTM) - CORRECT ANSWER-6 stages of behaviour
change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and
termination
,Pre contemplation stage - CORRECT ANSWER-Individuals are unaware or
uninformed of the need to change behavior and have no intentions of changing.
This reluctance may be due to noncompliance, resistance, amotivation, or a lack of
readiness for change (Prochaska, 2008)
Contemplation stage - CORRECT ANSWER-Individuals recognize the
importance of behavior change and are committed to taking action to change a
behavior in the next six months.
Preparation Stage - CORRECT ANSWER-Individuals are planning to change
behavior and are committed to following through. In the sport context, athletes
may be developing goals and a timeline to learn mental skills.
Action Stage - CORRECT ANSWER-Individuals are implementing their plan and
making behavior modifications, typically for less than six months. Athletes in this
stage would be working with an MPC and engaging in mental skills training.
Maintenance stage - CORRECT ANSWER-Individuals' changed behaviors
become established in their daily life, typically for more than six months. Attempts
are also made to prevent relapse and consolidate gains.
Termination stage - CORRECT ANSWER-Individuals are 100 percent self-
efficacious in engaging in the new behaviors and have no temptation to relapse
Theory of Planned Behavior - CORRECT ANSWER-This theory proposes that
the key factor influencing change is the intention to perform the behavior. This
intention is driven by underlying motivation, which is influenced by individuals'
,attitude toward the behavior, subjective norms (i.e., perceived social pressure to
engage in the behavior), and perceived behavioral control (i.e., expectancy that
performance of the behavior is within their control).
Person centered therapy - CORRECT ANSWER-PCT is a humanistic, client-
centered approach driven by a positive and phenomenological view of humans.
PCT is based on creating a strong therapeutic bond with the client through
unconditional positive regard, gunuineness and empathy.
Existential Therapy - CORRECT ANSWER-Existential therapy (ET) is a style of
therapy that focuses on the nature of the human condition (i.e., what it means to
be human) Based on humans' capacity for self-awareness, ET counselors help
clients search for meaning, purpose, values, and goals. (Think Frankl)
Emotion Focused Therapy - CORRECT ANSWER-Emotion-focused therapy
(EFT) is a person-centered approach in which emotions are viewed as a
fundamental aspect of human functioning and therapeutic change. MPCs can use
EFT to help their clients identify and communicate how their emotions influence
their overall functioning and interactions in normal and high-pressure
situations.(EFT has limitations)
Solution Focused Brief Therapy - CORRECT ANSWER-SFBT is a future-
focused, goal-oriented approach that emphasized clients' strengths and resilience.
Prioritizes Solution talk over problem talk (miracle questions/scaling questions).
Best use for MPC during time sensitive moments
, Behaviour Therapy - CORRECT ANSWER-Based on classical and operant
conditioning (think pavlov). Practitioners using this approach to emphasize the
importance of the interaction between clients and their environment in order to
bring about behavior change, either by increasing a desired behavior or by
decreasing an undesired behavior.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CORRECT ANSWER-Blend of cognitive /
behavioural therapies in the 80's (2nd wave). CBT is a structured, time-limited,
problem-focused, and goal-oriented form of talk therapy that helps clients learn to
identify, question, and change how their thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs relate to
emotional and behavioral reactions that cause them difficulty. Relaxation training,
exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, guided discovery
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) - CORRECT ANSWER-This
approach is based on the premise that individuals contribute to their own
psychological problems through the often rigid and irrational beliefs they hold
about themselves, events, and situations (Think Albert Ellis). A-B-C framework.
Activating agent, irrational belief, emotional and behavioural consequence.
Mindfulness based therapy - CORRECT ANSWER-"The awareness that emerges
through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-
judgmentally, to the unfolding experience moment to moment" (Think JKZ). All
mindfulness training programs are relatively new and research is still sparse in the
area.
