counterconditioning v. extinction
|
counterconditioning: based on the principle of reciprocal inhibition, which is the notion that two incompatible responses cannot be experienced at the same time, but rather the stronger response will inhibit the weaker
extinction: present the conditioned stimulus while inhibiting the conditioned response such as in flooding or implosive therapy |
|
aversive conditioning v. systematic desensitization
|
aversive conditioning: used to eliminate deviant bx's, the CS is paired with a new stronger stimulus that elicits a negative response that is incompatible with the old conditioned pleasure response, can be done in vivo or in imagination
systematic desensitization: begins with relaxation training followed by exposure to situations based on an anxiety hierarchy, can occur in vivo or in imagination |
|
flooding v. implosive therapy
|
flooding: present the CS without the US while inhibiting the CR, can be done in vivo or in imagination, prolonged exposure is the best
implosive therapy: after the patient is exposed to the feared object in imagination, the therapist interprets possible psychosexual themes |
|
primary, secondary, and generalized reinforcers
|
primary: those reinforcers that reinforce everyone at all ages and in all cultures (e.g., food)
secondary: acquire reinforcing value through training or experience (e.g., praise) generalized: not inherently reinforcing, however, they take on reinforcing value b/c they provide access to other reinforcers (e.g., tokens) |
|
self-control procedures: self-monitoring v. stimulus control
|
forms of self-reinforcement
self-monitoring: keeping a detailed record of what one does stimulus control: narrowing the range of stimuli that elicit a particular bx and developing incompatible responses |
|
optimizing effects of punishment
|
research has found that positive punishment merely suppresses bx but does not eliminate, to optimize its effects, punishment should be delivered at maximum intensity the first time, it should be certain, and there should be little delay b/w the occurrence of the undesirable bx and the punishment, alternative routes to reinforcement should be made clear
|
|
escape v. avoidance learning
|
escape learning: once the aversive stimulus has started, it can be stopped by emitting the desired bx
avoidance learning: by emitting the desired bx when a cue is given, the aversive stimulus is avoided |
|
symbolic v. live v. participant modeling
|
symbolic modeling: involves observing a film in which a model enjoys progressively more intimate interaction with a feared object or anxiety-producing setting
live modeling: involves observing a live model engage in graduated interactions with a feared object or anxiety-producing situation participant modeling: involves live modeling plus the model gradually guides the person in activities either involving physically interacting with the feared object or dealing with an anxiety-producing situation |
|
Kohler v. Tolman
|
Kohler: insight learning
Tolman: latent learning |
|
Beck v. Ellis
|
Beck (Cognitive Therapy): emphasizes empirical hypothese testing as a means of changing beliefs, Socratic questioning (continually seeking the patient's views about the presenting problem), psychological sx result from maladaptive thoughts that are automatic and often not conscious
Ellis (Rational-Emotive Therapy, RET): A is the activating event, B is the belief, C is the consequence or emotional/behavioral outcome, direct instruction, persuasion and logical disputation are major procedural components |
|
cognitive triad of depression

negative view of self: self is seen as defective and inadequate negative view of world: events are interpreted with an expectation of failure and punishment negative view of the future: expectation of continued hardship or a negative appraisal of the future |
|
self-instructional training v. stress inoculation
|
self-instructional training (ADHD): combines modeling and graduated practice with elements of RET to help with problems of task completion, includes therapist modeling, therapist, verbalization, patient verbalization, patient silently talks through the task, independent task performance
stress inoculation (PTSD and anxiety): based on notion that bolstering a patient's repetoire of coping responses to minor stressors can decrease susceptibility to more severe stress, includes education and cognitive preparation, coping skills acquistion, and application of skills in imagination and in vivo |
|
protocol analysis
|
a procedure that is used when a person is learning a task and is asked to describe aloud the steps being taken to solve the task, used to gain access to people's problem solving strategies
|
|
Rehm's self-control theory of depression
|
depression and its concomitant low rate of bx results from negative self-evaluations, lack of self-reinforcement, and high rates of self-punishment
|
|
pleasure v. reality principle
|
pleasure principle (id): seeks immediate gratification w/o concern about long-term consequences
reality principle (ego): awareness of the real world and consequences of bx |
|
primary v. secondary process

|
repression and other defense mechanisms
|
- repression: motivated forgetting
- regression: retreating to bx's of an earlier, safer dev. stage - projection: seeing one's unconscious urges in another person's bx - displacement: transfering emotions from origonal object to a substitute - reaction formation: engaging in the opposite bx of the id's real urges - intellectualization: distancing self from feelings - rationalization: coming up w/ self-satisfying, yet incorrect, explanations for one's bx - sublimation: finding socially acceptable ways of discharging energy from unconscious forbidden desires |
|

|
transference: a phenomenon characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings of one person to the therapist, considered a form of resistance that must be worked through

|
ego psychology: focuses on the ego's capacity for integration and adaption, (Heinz Hartmann, Anna Freud)
object relations: deals w/ the capacity to have mutually satisfying relationships(Klein, Winnicott, Mahler) neo-Freudian: focuses on the impact of social & cultural factors in determining personality (Sullivan, Horney, Fromm) self psychology: focuses on libidinal dev. as the key to understanding infant dev., healthy narcissism, therapist is empathically attuned (Kohut) |
|
defensive v. adaptive functions of the ego
|
defensive: when the unacceptable urges of the id become too strong to be controlled by the ego, the ego is unable to control the anxiety by rational methods and resorts to defenses which work through self-deception and distortion of reality to ignore id impulses
adaptive: able to defer immediate gratification in order to obtain greater long-term gratification, able to suspend the id impulses using means that are rational, socially acceptable, and reasonably safe |
|
object permanence v. object constancy
|
object permanence: the awareness that objects continue to exist even when they are no longer visible, Piaget proposed that object permanence is typically achieved at 8-9 months during the sensorimotor stage

|
teleological v. deterministic
|
teleological: bx is seen as determined by the future rather than the past, neurosis represents struggle to progress toward personality integration (e.g., Jung)

|
Adler
|
motivated by social/aggressive (not sexual) urges, struggle for superiority or personal competence and to master life, the more one's lifestyle involves struggles for power at the expense of social interest, the more likely the person is to engage in maladaptive bx.

|
|
coalition v. triangulation v. detouring v. joining
|
concepts of structural family therapy (Minuchin)
stable coalition: one parent unites with the child against the other parent in a rigid, cross-generational coalition triangulation: a child is caught in the middle of the parents' conflict with each parent demanding that the chid side with him or her detouring: parents express their distress through one chid who becomes the identified patient joining: the therapist attempts to understand the family's dynamics by adopting its style of interaction |
