Chapman And Delapp Flashcards
What is the aim of the study?
To increase insight into ‘active mechanisms of change’ during sessions of Immanuelized applied tension and cognitive behavioral therapy (CUBI)
Focused on an adult male with specific phobia
What type of study design was used?
Case study collecting both quantitative and qualitative data
Utilized self-reports and diagnostic interviews
Who was the subject of the case study?
A 42-year-old Hispanic male called Mr. T
Had a long history of medical issues and specific phobia
What medical condition did Mr. T have?
A tear of medical stations and specific phobia related to medical procedures
Experienced anxiety related to blood tests
What were Mr. T’s physical symptoms of anxiety?
Racing heart, hot flashes, cold chills, dizziness, unsteadiness, fainting
Symptoms perceived as dangerous
What emotional responses did Mr. T experience?
Guilt and shame
Resulting from his inability to attend regular medical appointments
What assessment tools were used in the study?
Self-report questionnaires and a diagnostic interview
Confirmed his specific phobia
What was the reported level of anxiety in Mr. T’s assessment?
Low anxiety
Assessed over a 12-month period
Fill in the blank: The study aimed to understand _______ during sessions of Immanuelized applied tension.
active mechanisms of change
True or False: Mr. T had a child with autism spectrum disorder.
True
What does the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) assess?
21 items rated from 0-3 for anxiety levels
The BAI is a commonly used self-report questionnaire for measuring anxiety.
How many items are in the Fear Survey Schedule II (FSS-II) and what does it measure?
Assesses fear towards 51 objects/situations; items rated on a 7-point scale
The FSS-II evaluates various fears to understand anxiety disorders.
What sensations does the Blood-Injection Symptom Scale (BISS) assess?
17 items assessing sensations experienced during situations involving blood or injections
The BISS is used to evaluate specific fears related to blood and injections.
What was T’s baseline score on the Beck Anxiety Inventory?
41 (severe anxiety)
This score indicates a high level of anxiety at the start of assessment.
What was T’s score on the Beck Anxiety Inventory at the 12-month follow-up?
7 (low anxiety)
This indicates significant improvement in T’s anxiety levels.
What fear scores did T report at baseline for blood and death-related fears?
6 (‘terror’) for blood and 5 (‘very much fear’) for death-related fears
These scores reflect extreme fear responses in these areas.
What was T’s reported fear level for the items at the 12-month follow-up?
None of the items was scored as ‘very much fear’ or ‘terror’
This indicates a complete reduction in fear responses over time.
How many items did T answer ‘Yes’ to on the BISS at baseline?
All 17 items
This suggests T experienced intense sensations related to blood or injections.
At the 12-month follow-up, how many sensations did T experience when exposed to medical-related stimuli?
4/17 sensations
The sensations included feeling anxious, heart pounding, feeling nauseous, and sweating.
What type of therapy did T complete and how many sessions?
Nine sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is an evidence-based treatment for anxiety and phobias.
What manual did T use during his therapy sessions?
Mastering Your Fears and Phobias (MYFP) manual
This manual provides structured guidance for treating specific phobias.
What homework tasks did T complete between CBT sessions?
Reading assignments, practising applied tension, completing graduated exposure tasks
These tasks are designed to reinforce learning and desensitize fear responses.
What is the Phobic Encounter Record (PER) used for?
To rate anxiety from 0 to 100 and list thoughts, feelings, and behaviours during exposure
The PER helps track progress and identify patterns in anxiety responses.
