Brief historic overview Cognitive behavioural therapy is a fusion of the behavioural and cognitive theories of human behaviour and psychopathology. Modern CBT development had three “waves”. The first, or behavioural wave was inspired and developed by notable people such as John B. Watson, Joseph Wolpe, Ivan Pavlov, Hans Eysenck, Arnold Lazarus and B. F. Skinner and comes from learning theory (Skinner et Pavlov). Learning theory is a concept describing the process of gaining, keeping and recalling knowledge. Behavioural learning theory assumes that learning is built on responses to environmental stimuli. I. Pavlov introduced a concept of classical conditioning where behaviour is a reflexive and involuntary response to stimuli. The exposure, which originated from the works of Pavlov and Watson, is a widely used instrument in CBT. It is a process of changing the unwanted, learned response or behaviour to a more desirable response. In addition to this, B. F. Skinner later shaped a concept of operant conditioning, which is based on the voluntary behaviour that is modified through the use of positive and negative reinforcements. The foundation for the second or “cognitive wave” of CBT can be tracked to numerous ancient philosophical ideas, notably in Stoicism. Stoic philosophers, particularly Epictetus, believed that logic could be used to identify and discard false beliefs that lead to destructive emotions and that individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.

    Behavioral Therapy* Michael Mceachrane

    5 Capturing Emotional Thoughts: The Philosophy of Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy* Michael McEachrane Ever since Albert Ellis introduced his ABC-theory of emotional dysfunction in the 1950s one premise of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been the idea that emotional disturbances are caused by beliefs. Following Stoic phi- losophy Ellis argued that emotional disturbances are a consequence (C) of beliefs (B) rather than of activating events themselves (A) (e.g., Ellis 1962). Since then, beliefs have been the focal point of CBT – be it Ellis’ rational emo- tive behavior therapy (REBT), Aaron T. Beck’s cognitive therapy (CT) or the so- called ‘new wave’ of cognitive-behavioral therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) (e.g., Beck 1979; Beck et al. 1979; Ellis and Blau 1998; Hayes, Follette and Linehan 2004). A second premise of CBT is that emotion causing beliefs are mentally rep- resented; primarily as ‘internal dialogues’ – what Ellis refers to as ‘self-talk’ and Beck as ‘automatic thoughts’ – but also as mental images (e.g., Beck 1979; Ellis 1994; Segal, Williams and Teasdale 2001). On the basis of this second premise, a central idea to the practice of CBT is that we can become aware of the beliefs that elicit our emotional reactions by becoming aware of the words or images that elicit them. This chapter examines these two premises – that emotions are caused by beliefs and that those beliefs are represented in the mind as words or images. Being a philosophical examination, the chapter also seeks to demonstrate that these two premises essentially are philosophical premises.

Thus, it means a set of tested assumption used overtime to produce a positive result. It also outlined the qualities of a good theory such as; meaningfulness, predictability, simplicity, comprehensiveness, usefulness and validity. The study mentioned its functions as; increasing the understanding of a body of knowledge through the explanation of some phenomena, encourages partway by which predictions are made and serve as a guide to research studies. The reasons for counselling theory were also outlined thus; providing useful information for both counsellor and client, helps in effective counselling, guidance and placement programme to take place educationally, vocationally and personal- socially. The study also mentioned the proponent of the theory as Albert Ellis (1959). It explains his ABCDEF theory where „A‟ refers to event,; B‟ refers to irrational belief and „C‟ refers to the behaviour that results from „B‟. His opinion on the use of „must,‟‟ should‟, ‟ought to be‟, His historical backgrounds and view of human nature were x- rayed as human beings being both rational and irrational, man having the ability to control his feeling and actions, emotional disturbances are not determined by external circumstances but his self-verbalization.

    Islamic Religiosity, Depression and Anxiety among Muslim Cancer Patients Nadzirah Ahmad Basri Kyushu University, Japan Gan Chun Hong The National University of Malaysia, Malaysia Ng Lai Oon Sunway University, Malaysia Shuzo Kumagai Kyushu University, Japan Abstract Active religious practice is central to Muslim livelihood. Among Muslims, this religious engagement is rarely studied with regards to its association in coping with critical illnesses. This study investigated the association between Islamic religiosity with depression and anxiety in Muslim cancer patients. Fifty-nine cancer patients recruited from a Malaysian public hospital and a cancer support group completed the Muslim Religiosity and Personality Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory in July and August 2010. Islamic religiosity score, obtained from the sum of subscale scores of Islamic worldview and religious personality represents a greater understanding and practice of Islam in a comprehensive manner. Results yielded a significant negative correlation between Islamic religiosity score with both depression and anxiety. Depression was also found to be negatively associated with religious personality subscale. Older patients scored significantly higher on both Islamic worldview and religious personality whereas patients with higher education scored higher on Islamic worldview. Married patients scored significantly higher scores on religious personality than the single patients. Results provided an insight into the significant role of religious intervention which has huge potentials to improve the psychological health of cancer patients particularly Muslims in Malaysia. Research implication includes the call for professionals to meet the spiritual needs of Muslim cancer patients and incorporating religious components in their treatment, especially in palliative care. Keywords: Religiosity, spirituality, depression, anxiety, Muslim cancer patients Introduction and Literature Review Cancer is among the most common of all critical illnesses leading to death.

Gender Differences in Anxiety 2 Abstract The current investigation sought to determine whether any observable gender differences existed in the expression of symptoms, cognitions, and sensitivity towards anxiety for a nonclinical sample of 50 males and 50 females, matched for age and social desirability response bias. To investigate this, a between groups study was employed which compared the male and female groups on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck & Steer, 1993); Catastrophic Cognitions Questionnaire –Modified (Khawaja, Oei & Banglioni, 1994); Anxiety Sensitivity Index (Reiss, Peterson, Gurskey & McNally, 1986); and Marlowe- Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960). Multivariate analyses of variance revealed that females reported higher concern than males regarding the cognitive misinterpretation of the symptoms and beliefs of anxiety.

    The Assessment of Depression and Anxiety Following Myocardial Infarction By Beth Sheridan, RN, BSN A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Nursing The University of Michigan-Flint April 2007 Approved: Chairperson: 5VcLwi3r ^ f Janet Bamfather^rhD, RN - Date Committee Member: -J H ~ / - & 7 Thomas Schaal, PhD, APRN, BC Date Abstract Each year in the United States, approximately 1.1 million persons experience an acute myocardial infarction. Sixty-five percent of these patients report experiencing symptoms of depression with major depression being present in 15 to 22% of patients. Persons who are depressed and/or anxious following myocardial infarction have a 3.5 times greater risk of death than patients who are not depressed and have cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVES: To determine what effect weekly telephone follow-up phone calls have on levels of depression and anxiety post myocardial infarction. METHODS: Twenty seven male and female patients post-myocardial infarction patients were recruited and follow-up data were collected at 6 weeks post-discharge. Measures included the Beck Depression Inventory and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. In addition, study participants assigned to the intervention group received once weekly phone calls for 6 weeks. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the two groups in levels of depression over time. There was, however, a significant decrease in levels of depression in both groups over time. Levels of state anxiety remained the same in both groups over time. There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of trait anxiety, with the control group showing consistently higher levels of trait anxiety than the intervention group at both time points.
  • Person-Centred Therapy Vs. Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

    Person-Centred Therapy Vs. Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

    PERSON-CENTRED THERAPY VS. RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY The purpose of this paper is to present a brief comparison of the approach to psychotherapy of Carl Rogers and Albert Ellis. I have selected Albert Ellis for comparative purposes since he was one of the other therapists participating with Rogers in the film “Three Approaches to Psycotherapy” , made in 1964, centering on interviews with the client “Gloria”. Person-Centered Therapy Rogers first formulated the essentials of Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), an approach to helping individuals and groups in conflict, in 1940. At the time it was a revolutionary hypothesis that a self-directed growth process would follow the provision and reception of a particular kind of relationship characterized by genuineness, non-judgmental caring, and empathy. Its most fundamental and pervasive concept is trust. The foundation of Rogers’ approach is a human being’s actualizing tendency towards the realization of his or her full potential; which he described as a formative tendency observable in the movement toward 134greater order, complexity and interrelatedness. The person-centered approach is built on trust that individuals and groups can set their own goals and monitor their own progress towards them. It assumes that the clients can be trusted to select their own therapist, choose the frequency and length of their therapy, talk or be silent, decide what needs to be explored, achieve their own insights, and be the architects of own lives. Moreover, groups can be trusted to develop processes right for them and to resolve conflicts in the group. In Person-Centered Therapy, the therapist provides continuous and constant empathy for the client's perceptions, meanings and feelings.
  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless

    Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless

    Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless Cognitive Therapy Cognitive therapy seeks to help a client overcome difficulties by identifying and changing dysfunctional thought patterns. 1. fig. 1 shows a group cognitive therapy session Clinicians use therapy sessions to help clients address and change their negative cognitive biases. Cognitive therapy (CT) is one of the therapeutic approaches within the larger group of cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) and was first expounded by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s. Cognitive-based therapies have gained increasing use in the past several decades, beginning with the cognitive revolution in 1956. CT is a psychotherapy quite distinct from other mainstream forms such as psychoanalytic or behavioral psychotherapy: rather than focusing on motivations or instincts, it is based on an information-processing model of human behavior and psychopathology. Cognitive distortions, or exaggerated and irrational thoughts, were believed to perpetuate psychological disorders. The process of learning to refute these distortions is called cognitive restructuring. Cognitive therapy may consist of testing a client's assumptions and identifying how client's unquestioned thoughts are distorted, unrealistic and unhelpful.

BMC Family Practice 2011, 12:66 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2296/12/66 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Is the beck anxiety inventory a good tool to assess the severity of anxiety? A primary care study in The Netherlands study of depression and anxiety (NESDA) Anna DT Muntingh1,2,3,4*, Christina M van der Feltz-Cornelis 1,4,5, Harm WJ van Marwijk2,3, Philip Spinhoven 6,7, Brenda WJH Penninx 2,7,8,9 and Anton JLM van Balkom 2,8 Abstract Background: Appropriate management of anxiety disorders in primary care requires clinical assessment and monitoring of the severity of the anxiety. This study focuses on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) as a severity indicator for anxiety in primary care patients with different anxiety disorders (social phobia, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, agoraphobia or generalized anxiety disorder), depressive disorders or no disorder (controls). Methods: Participants were 1601 primary care patients participating in the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA). Regression analyses were used to compare the mean BAI scores of the different diagnostic groups and to correct for age and gender. Results: Patients with any anxiety disorder had a significantly higher mean score than the controls. A significantly higher score was found for patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia compared to patients with agoraphobia only or social phobia only. BAI scores in patients with an anxiety disorder with a co-morbid anxiety disorder and in patients with an anxiety disorder with a co-morbid depressive disorder were significantly higher than BAI scores in patients with an anxiety disorder alone or patients with a depressive disorder alone.
