This page intentionally left bank Preface Counselling and psychotherapy have been described as a ‘talking cure’ and it is certainly true that these processes can offer a successful non-medicinal alternative in the treatment of depression, anxiety, psychosis, etc. But to suggest that therapy is simply a treatment for mental health issues or a crutch for the worried well is to miss the true value of this incredible process. An appreciation of counselling and psychotherapy can offer a unique insight into human nature and a deep understanding of how to connect with another person. Appreciation of the core approaches in counselling and psychotherapy can inform all of our interactions,

Abstract In the treatment of depression, while an examination of cognitions and behaviour is surely in order, the therapist must not neglect the emotional realm and needs to delve into the emotional nuances of depression, as it may differ from dysthymia to major depression to depression caused by anaemia and other medical realms. This paper will examine and explore the “common cold of psychology”, examining current issues and offering concerns about current cultural factors as well as concerns about suicide, resulting from depressive episodes. Keywords: Depression; Treatment; Behaviour Drug abuse: Some depressed individuals will self-medicate or attempt to sleep as sleep is one way of removing themselves from the Introduction situation. In a sense, alcohol and drugs are both avenues of escape for some individuals. Drugs and alcohol remove them from the constant pain and awareness of their perceived inadequacies.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
    EFPT Psychotherapy Guidebook • EFPT Psychotherapy Guidebook Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Olga Sidorova Published on: Jul 05, 2019 Updated on: Jul 11, 2019 EFPT Psychotherapy Guidebook • EFPT Psychotherapy Guidebook Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely used evidence-based psychotherapy for improving mental health. 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.

  • Cognitive Distortion Sequence
    COGNITIVE DISTORTION SEQUENCE THE LEARNING BENEFIT: When you learn to overcome the unconscious thinking habits that lead to depression, anxiety and addictive behavior, your brain chemistry begins to normalize, levels of dopamine and happiness increase, you become more optimistic and chances of relapse decrease. THE FACTS: In Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders, (Beck, A., 1989, Penguin Books, London) Dr. Aaron Beck, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and President of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, explains how distorted thinking about objective facts leads to depressive and anxious emotions, troublesome physical symptoms and often self-destructive behavior. He further explains that most emotional problems can be solved by taking a more realistic, less emotional look at people, places and things which bother us. In his work with depressed and suicidal patients, he discovered they invariably exhibited patterns of automatic negative thinking that appeared spontaneously. The patients appeared to see worst-case scenarios in everything, as if they were encoded in the software of their minds. He called these thinking patterns 'negative schemas', which seemed to center around the patients' continual feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and worthlessness. They had low self-esteem, felt nobody loved or cared for them, feared tragedies would occur in the future and often felt life itself was not worth living. Beck explored the patients' negativity about themselves, others, the future and life in general and would ask them if they could provide factual proof to support their negative position. In other words, could they prove their lives were meaningless and would always be that way? In most cases, the patients could only say they felt that way because things had always gone wrong for them in the past.

University, Darbhanga 23 JULY 2020 Contribution of Freudian Psychology A glimpse of the details of the work can be had from The Standard Edition of the Works of Sigmund Freud, 24 volumes that has been edited by J. Strachey. However, Freud’s systematic position can be presented under the following sev en headings: 1. Topographical Structure: Conscious, Preconscious and Unconscious 2. Structural Model: Id, Ego and Superego 3. Psychic energy and theory of instincts 4. Anxiety and defence mechanisms 5. Stages of Psychosexual Development 6. Freud’s Social Psychology 7. Mind-body position 1. Topographical Structure: Conscious, Preconscious and Unconscious i. He divided the mind into two parts- conscious and unconscious. ii. The unconscious has two different levels- the unconscious proper and preconscious. iii. Consciousness is defined as consisting of those mental elements that are in awareness at any given moment. iv. Inhis famous “iceberg” analogy, the upper small portion of the ice represents consciousness. v. The pre-consciousness consists of all those mental elements which are not conscious but can become readily available to consciousness with little effort. vi. For this reason this is also sometimes called as available memory. vii. The unconscious is the most important part of the mind and in terms of “iceberg” analogy, it is equivalent to the part of the ice that is submerged into the water. viii. Unconscious is the largest part of the mind. ix.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study the Issue
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study The issue of LGBT had existed in western countries since a long time ago. One of the western countries that had history with this issue was England. The LGBT issue has already existed in England since the middle of 100‟s A.D. It was started with a Roman Emperor named Hadrian, who declared himself as a homosexual (Keele University, n.d.). The declaration made by Hadrian was very crucial, for lead it the way for LGBT issue to be recognized in the British society. The self-recognition of Hadrian as a homosexual inspired Alcuin of York who was widely knows well known as David to write poems that used homosexuality as the main topic in 797(Keele University, n.d.). This phenomenon was happened in the middle of 19th century. As golden age of literature in Britain, LGBT issue also influenced British writers during this century. One of the British writers that have a strong bond with LGBT is Oscar Wilde. Wilde was born in 1854 on Ireland and Died in 1900. He was an English poet, novelist, and playwright. He was often mentioned as an eccentric writer and he was the leader of the aesthetic movement that advocated “Art for Art‟s sake”. He was once in imprisoned for two years with hard labor for homosexual practices. One of 1 2 the plays that have been often considered as his masterpiece was The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). Another influence of the LGBT phenomenon that was proven by the Wilde‟s novel: The Picture of Dorian Gray novel featured bisexual character, Dorian Gray in 1895.

No.-6203743650 PERSONALITY Personality is an individual’s unique and relatively stable patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions. FREUD’S THEORY OF PERSONALITY Freud defined personality in four central points i.e., levels of consciousness, the structure of personality, anxiety and defense mechanism, and psychosexual stages of development. Psychosexual stages Oral Stage – The first stage is the oral stage. An infant is in this stage from birth to eighteen months of age. The main focus in the oral stage is pleasure seeking through the infant’s mouth. During this stage, the need for tasting and sucking becomes prominent in producing pleasure. Oral stimulation is crucial during this stage; if the infant’s needs are not met during this time frame he or she will be fixated in the oral stage. Fixation in this stage can lead to adult habits such as thumb-sucking, smoking, over-eating, and nail-biting. Personality traits can also develop during adulthood that are linked to oral fixation; these traits can include optimism and independence or pessimism and hostility. Anal Stage – The second stage is the anal stage which lasts from eighteen months to three years of age. During this stage the infant’s pleasure seeking centers are located in the bowels and bladder. Parents stress toilet training and bowel control during this time period. Fixation in the anal stage can lead to anal-retention or anal- expulsion. Anal retentive characteristics include being overly neat, precise, and orderly while being anal expulsive involves being disorganized, messy, and destructive.

DESCRIPTORS *Counseling Techniques; *Counseling Theories; *Evaluation Methods; *Intervention; Theory Practice Relationship; *Therapy IDENTIFIERS *Multimodal Counseling .ABSTRACT The multimodal therapy (MMT) approach provides a framework that facilitates systematic treatment selection in a broad-based, comprehensive and yet highly focused manner. It respects science, and data driven findings, and endeavors to use empirically supported methods when possible. Nevertheless, it recognizes that many issues still fall into the gray area in which artistry and subjective judgment are necessary, and tries to fill the void by offering methods that have strong clinical support. This paper provides a brief history of the MMT approach and methods of assessment and intervention. (Contains 26 references.)
