Though personal psychotherapy has a long history as a training tool, it is seldom formally required or recommended in programs today. Benefits to the clinician have been widely reported; whether clients benefit is a subject of ongoing debate. It appears that most psychotherapists eventually do enter therapy at some point in their career, but not necessarily in training. The paper attempts to determine what is of value to the trainee therapist and how it can be integrated with the goals of training programs.

PART III Clhallllgnllllg IHiumallll Belhavnor 50 Principles of Behavior Therapy and Behavior Modification THE EMERGENCE of behavior theory represents a striking shift from the previous history of ideas in the western world. Since the zenith of Greek civilization, it has been customary to explain behavior in terms of such internal factors as will, desire, purpose, intention, belief, expectation, memory, and character. The experimental analysis of behavior, however, shifts the locus of causal explana­ tions for behavior from internal processes and events to external causes. In Skinner's words, "[This shift] quite naturally led to a flood of practical applications. An early stimulus-response formula was too simple and seriously misleading, but once the role of the causal environment was properly understood, a flourishing tech­ nology was inevitable." 1 This chapter examines the theoretical aspects of the application of behavioral psychology (technically, the experimental analysis of behavior) to the process of behavior therapy.

  • Image and Imagination As Therapeutic Support. Know Oneself and Re-Educate Oneself Through Vision †
    Proceedings Image and Imagination as Therapeutic Support. Know Oneself and Re-Educate Oneself through Vision † Anna Marotta * and Rossana Netti DAD (Department of Architecture and Design), Politecnico di Torino, 10129 Torino, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Presented at the International and Interdisciplinary Conference IMMAGINI? Image and Imagination between Representation, Communication, Education and Psychology, Brixen, Italy, 27–28 November 2017. Published: 18 January 2018 Abstract: This research aims to identify and understand the possible approaches in psychological environment, through the images and imaginary as a therapeutic tool. The image is investigated in the film “projection”: this latter is not only intended as a visual projection on the plane of expression, but it is also the projection of the self, implemented by the director and the actors, but also by the spectator, who becomes a participating observer of the story told. An example that combines all these aspects can be identified in Hitchcock’s figure, for his film culture, for the recording technique, but also for his complex psychic characteristics. The critical synthesis of the most significant works of his film production, can be a possible example for the research proposed here. In particular, some elements of vision and representation were privileged in relation to the relationship between image, imaginary and psychological aspects. Keywords: imagination; vision; fantasy; metaphor; therapeutic aid 1. Introduction Mental images, such as dreams, are emerging symbols from the unconscious that can be investigated and understood to modify and enhance the approach to the real world, but also with oneself. To imagine is not always a simple process to put into practice: for some the production may be excessive or disorderly, for other deficient or problematic and moreover the mind may not be able to distinguish reality from fantasy.

  • 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. Once these thoughts have been challenged, the client's feelings about the subject matter of those thoughts can be more readily changed. Cognition: Any element of knowledge including attitude, emotion, belief, or behavior.

  • Behavior Modification Interventions
    Behavior Modification Interventions Least Intensive Interventions Response-Cost Lottery Designed to be time effective for teachers, this strategy can be used with individual students or small groups. Materials: • Index card, tape • Colored slips of paper (different color for each student) Preparation: • Develop a reward menu for each student targeted for this intervention. • Select 1-3 behaviors that you wish to reduce in the targeted student(s) and write out concrete definitions for each. • Decide on a time period during the instructional day that the Response Cost Lottery program will be in effect (e.g., 30 minutes during math class). NOTE: You may want to limit the length of the monitoring period at the start of the intervention, to increase the odds of student success. As the intervention proves successful, you can extend the monitoring period. • Decide how many points (i.e., paper slips) you will award to students at the outset of each monitoring period. (NOTE: For short monitoring periods, you may want to start with 4-5 points/paper slips.) • Prepare the lottery tickets. Use a different color paper for each student's tickets, so that you can tell them apart from one another. Or type blanks on student tickets onto which the recipient can write in his or her name and the date that the ticket was awarded. • Choose how frequently you will hold lottery-ticket prize drawings. NOTE: Many teachers find that once per week is sufficiently motivating to make the intervention effective. For students with more intense or severe levels of misbehavior, however, you may want initially to hold prize drawings more frequently (e.g., daily) and as students' behaviors improve, gradually extend intervals between drawings Steps in Implementing This Intervention: Step 1: Introduce the Response Cost Lottery Program to Targeted Students.

Integrating Logotherapy with Cognitive Behavior Therapy: A Worthy Challenge Matti Ameli Introduction Logotherapy, developed by Victor Frankl in the 1930s, and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) , pioneered by Aaron Beck in the 1960s, present many similarities. Ameli and Dattilio ( 2013 ) offered practical ideas of how logotherapeutic tech- niques could be integrated into Beck’s model of CBT. The goal of this article is to expand those ideas and highlight the benefi ts of a logotherapy-enhanced CBT. After a detailed overview of logotherapy and CBT, their similarities and differences are discussed, along with the benefi ts of integrating them. Overview of Logotherapy Logotherapy was pioneered by the Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl (1905–1997) during the 1930s. The Viktor-Frankl-Institute in Vienna defi nes logotherapy as: “an internationally acknowledged and empirically based meaning- centered approach to psychotherapy.” It has been called the “third Viennese School of Psychotherapy” (the fi rst one being Freud’s psychoanalysis and the second Adler’s individual psychology).
