What are Clinical Interventions?
- anything that will lower pathology
- present distress and increased risk and functional impairment
Treatment
– intervention to lower or eliminate symptoms/ signs associated with mental disorder
Ex: talk therapy
Prevention
-intention to avoid (or prevent) onset of a mental disorder (keep from coming)
Prevention
Universal
-prevent occurs in gen. population to stop problems before they start (targeted prevent- increased risk population)
ex: school assembly
Prevention
Targeted
prevent occurs in group selected because of increased risk

ex: body image for girls with high body dissatisfaction
How do you know if clinical interventions work?

Controlled studies
compare outcome between people who receive intervention vs. people who do NOT receive intervention
How do you know if clinical
interventions work?

Controlled Studies:
Random Assignment
-important to use RAMDOM ASSIGNMENT to condition ( intervention vs. no intervention)
How do you know if clinical interventions work?

Controlled Studies:
Waitlist control
-compare people who receive intervention to people placed on a wait list for treatment
How do you know if clinical interventions work?

Controlled Studies:
Alternative treatment control
- compare people who receive intervention to people given a diff. kind of intervention
Empirically Supported Interventions
- Interventions that produce superior outcomes compared to control condition

- demonstrated through scientific means to be supported

(waitlist vs. alternative treatement)
What is Non-Directive Therapy?
Therapy which:
- therapist does not structure course of therapy

- patient determines content of sessions (silence/ no ?) (true humanist and )psychodynamic

- therapist do not make directive suggestions to patient (don’t tell to do things differently)

(born with it)
*pleasure = creative (sex) and destructive (kill) tell what want to do/ don’t know what ID tell you
Psychoanalytic Theory
Ego
(second)
*mediate reality between real world and ID/ choose behaviors engage in
Psychoanalytic Theory
Superego
(third)

Fundamental Assumptions of Psychodynamic Therapy

Insight
complete understanding of unconscious cause of problematic feelings, thoughts, and behaviors (able to work through them)
Fundamental Assumptions of Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychosexual development
problems emerge between mental structures (ID, ego, superego) because of traumatic experiences during psychosexual development
Fundamental Assumptions of Psychodynamic Therapy

Transference
therapy is designed to elicit and resolve the types of conflicts that emerge from the traumatic (psychosexual development) experiences by facilitating transference into therapy session

Transference: patient reacts to therapist as if the therapist represented important person from patients childhood (therapist is neutral not pretend someone not)
Fundamental Assumptions of Psychodynamic Therapy

Counter-transference
therapist reacts to patient as if patient represented important person from therapist’s childhood- sees patient as self centered and bring in attitudes of own siblings from their own childhood
Fundamental Assumptions of Psychodynamic Therapy

Interpretation
Interpretation is required to facilitate insight
- make them conscious

-method for revealing the underlying motivations for thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

- traditional: psychoanalysis, therapist makes interps

- modern: psychodynamic- orientated therapies, process of interpretation viewed as a collaboration or a mutual discovery of underlying reasons
Fundamental Assumptions of Psychodynamic Therapy

Resistance
- everything is fair game

-dreams

- topics patients chooses to discuss in therapy

- actions toward therapist or impacting therapy (what said when/ show up drunk)

- progress in treatment
What is Efficacy of Psychodynamic Therapy?
- superior to no treatment (wait list) control

- on average inferior to directive, manual- based treatments
Drawbacks of Psychodynamic Therapy
- insight into problems does not necessarily lead to change in problems

-therapy not designed to assess observable improvements in problems (talk about past) NO FOLLOW UP ?’s

- length of treatment makes it cost prohibitive for most individuals
Modern Modifications
- brief psychodynamic therapies – time limited 20 sessions

- manual- based treatments (interpersonal therapy where focus on present more)

- both modification improve efficacy of psychodynamically oriented therapies AND they make the therapies more directive
Humanistic Therapy
origins in Rogers’ client-centered therapy

Client-centered therapy
(client = expert)
Fundamental Assumptions of Humanist Therapy

Phenomenal Field
Behavior determined by everything experienced by person at given time

- the client best source of info concerning his/ her experience : client = expert

- client makes choices

- focus on Present not past
Fundamental Assumptions of Humanist Therapy

Self-actualization
basic human tendency is this

- self-maintenance and self-enhancement

- Be all that you can be!

- tendency to maintain self

- each person holds power for SA, therapy simply creates environment that permits this process to occur

- not in psychodynamic therapy! (think system is broken 1st place)
Fundamental Assumptions of Humanist Therapy

Accurate, empathic understanding
*(correct) understanding, intellectually and emotionally (both) the clients pt of view (through their eyes)

- Reflection and Mirroring affects

Ex: client: Cant understand it when my boss criticizes my work

- Ex: tell you concerned how did on exam

- open posture and non verbal behavior show care

- not congruent: turn away/ check email when said really cared

- actions speak louder than words
What is Efficacy of Humanist Therapy?
- Superior to no treatment (waitlist) control

- aver. inferior to directive, manual based treatments

(same as psychodynamic therapy)
Drawbacks of Humanist Therapy
- an attempt to be (client expert) avoids use of assessment and diagnosis (no diff. every client)

- therapy not designs to assess observable improvements in problems (get better? Unless they say)

- (BIG) relies on client being responsibly intelligent, perceptive, verbal and high functioning

- Ex: college student (good)
Bad: poor insight (delusions)

- go on what person tells you – could be lying
Behavioral Therapy
- origins in behavioral learning theory
Systematic Desensitization
Classical conditioning
NS + US „³ UR

CS „³ CR

- CT + Incompatible Response „³ changed response

- cant be both same time
Systematic Desensitization

Progressive Muscle Relaxation
- technique for training patients to become relaxed

- can be used as incompatible response to combat anxiety

- pair relaxation with thoughts about anxiety provoking stimuli

- use increasing anxiety- provoking stimuli according to hierarchy described by patient

* start with least period anxiety- imagine in this pd. Right now practice pd. anxiety with muscle relaxation

* Then next step 2 weeks before finals

* Then weekend before final week – fell anxious and practice (1) when not feeling anxious
Systematic Desensitization
Operant Conditioning
- behavior --> consequences
- Behavior --> reinforcement
Exposure Response Prevention
- expose patient to anxiety – provoking stimulus and prevent them from engaging in anxiety reducing responses


ex: OCD – women with rat poison
“contamination” --> Hand Washing --> lower anxiety

“contamination” --> no Hand Washing--> no lower anxiety

Then “contamination” --> anxiety

Then “contamination” --> nothing else bad happens

…Anxiety about contamination extinguishes
Cognitive Therapy
- origins in cog. explanations for psychopathology from Ellis and Beck

-rather than view behavior as center of psychopathology view beliefs/ thinking
(Write in ABC Model)
Cognitive Restructuring
- examine beliefs (done together)

- provide info (psychoeducation)

- evidence for and against beliefs

- consequences
(write in ABC example)
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
- combine cog and behave. Techniques to achieve lower in symptoms/ signs (put it all together)
Efficacious CBT
- superior to doing no treatment (waitlist) controls

- superior to alternative therapies for

- panic disorder (w or w/o agoraphobia), specific phobia, OCD, MDD, bulimia nervosa, martial problems, bed wetting, smoking, pain disorder
Advantages of CBT
- short term approach produces significant improvements

-constantly evaluating whether improvements are occurring throughout treatment

-rationale for approach is explained to patient

- although therapist is expert patient can learn from therapist and gain expertise to form collaborative approach to resolving problems. Patient can become expert (as with humanist therapy)

ex: has to understand rationale behind homework to do it!

Clinical Health Psychology

Improving Compliance
1. Self Monitoring
- time (when)
- type & amount of fluid
- situation / activity (place/ doing/ think or feel)
- consequences

2. set goals – very specific in terms of behavior

- coping skills – suck on ice cube/ chew gum instead
Clincal Health Psychology

Ex. Anticipatory Nausea
US: Chemo --> UR: Nausea and vomit

CS: Stimuli assoc. with Chemo -->
CR: Nausea and vomit

Ways to help this:
- relaxation training – sense of control
- systematic desensitization – relax exercise neutral setting
- distraction
- more efficacious earlier in treatment better
