Typical therapy client i sbetter off than 80% of individuals who need treatment but are untreated.

Based on these findings, eysenck concluded that any apparent benefit of therapy is actually due to spontaneous recovery.
Freudian Psychoanalysis
when the ego is unable to ward of danger (anxiety) through rational, realistic means, it may resort to one of its defense mechanisms.

Mahler's version of this approach stresses events that occur during the seperation-individuation process.
solution-focused therapy
solution-focused therapists believe that understanding the etiology or attributes of problem behavior is irrelevant and focus instead on solutions to problems, In therapy, the client is viewed as the "expert" while the therapist acts as a consultant/collaborator who poses questions designed to assist the client in recognizing and using his/her strengths and resources to achieve specific goals (e.g. the miracle question, exception questions, scaling questions)

suicide hotlines
research is inconsistent, but there is some evidence that suicide hotlines can reduce suicide rates, especially for young white females, who are the most frequent callers
General Systems Theory
the "whole" can be understood only in terms of the organization and interactions of its components; the theoretical framework underlying family therapy. Systems can be either 'open' or 'closed'.
'open' v. 'closed' systems in general systems theory
open systems receive input from and discharge output to the environment; closed systems have no exchange with the environment. families are primarily open systems.
Positive and Negative feedback loops
a key feature of cybernetics is its concept of the feedback loop through with a system recieves information. a negative feedback loop reduces deviation and help a system maintain its status quo, while a postive feedback loop amplifies deviation or change and thereby disrupts the system.

Communication/Interaction Family Therapy
focuses on the role of communication. Research on communication processes led to a link between double bind communication and schizophrenia. This approach distinguished between symmetrical and complementary communication
double-bind communication
as originally defined, involves conflicting negative injunctions: "do that and you'll be punished" and "don't do that and you'll be punished" with one injunction being expressed verbally and the other nonverbally. In addition, the recipient of the contradictory injunction is not allowed to comment on them or seek help from someone else.
symmetrical communication
occurs between equals but may escalate into a competitive one-upsmanship game
complementary communication
occurs between participants who are unequal and emphasizes their differences.
Efficacy v. Effectiveness
a recent debate in psychotherapy outcomes is over the best way to evaluate effects of psychotherapy. efficacy studies (clinical trials) v. effectiveness studies (correlational, quasi-experimental in nature)
object-family therapy
Application of object relations theory to family therapy; focuses on both intrapsychic and interpersonal causes of maladaptive behavior. therapy involves interpreting transferences, resistances, and other factors in order to foster insight.
