Eysenck

A

Eysenck was a British psychologist known for his factor analysis of personality traits, contributions to behavior therapy, and 1952 review of psychotherapy outcome studies in which he found that
* 72% of untreated neurotic individuals improved without therapy
* 66% of patients receiving eclectic psychotherapy
* 44% receiving psychoanalytic psychotherapy showed a substantial decrease in symptoms.

Based on these findings, Eysenck concluded that any apparent benefit of therapy is due to spontaneous remission.

Q

Psychotherapy Research

Smith, Glass, Miller

A

Smith et al. used meta-analysis to combine the results of the psychotherapy outcome studies and found, contrary to Eysenck, that psychotherapy does have substantial benefits. In one study, they obtained an average effect size of .85, which indicates that the typical therapy client is better off than 80% of individuals who need therapy but are untreated.

Q

Psychotherapy Research

Therapist-client matching

A
  • Research on therapist-client matching in terms of race, ethnicity, or culture has produced inconsistent results.
  • However, matching may reduce premature termination for members of some groups (e.g., Asian and Hispanic/Latino).
  • Some research suggests that other factors (e.g., similarity in values and worldview) are more important than similarity in terms of race, ethnicity, or culture.

Q

Psychotherapy Research

Treatment Manuals

A

Treatment manuals were originally developed to standardize psychotherapeutic treatments so their effects could be empirically evaluated and to provide guidelines for training therapists.

They specify the theoretical underpinnings of the treatment along with treatment goals and specific therapeutic guidelines and strategies.

A potential limitation of treatment manuals is that they may oversimplify the therapeutic process.

123
Q

Psychotherapy Research

Diagnostic Overshadowing

A

Diagnostic overshadowing was originally used to describe the tendency of health professionals to attribute all of a person’s psychiatric symptoms to his or her intellectual disabilities. Subsequent research found that diagnostic overshadowing applies to other conditions and diagnoses.

Q

Diversity Issues

Acculturation

Berry

A

According to Berry, a person’s level of acculturation can be described in terms of four categories that reflect the person’s adoption of his/her own culture and the culture of the dominant group

  • integration- maintains parts of personal culture but incorporates elements of dominant culture - likes both
  • assimilation- acccepts majority culture, relinquishes personal culture likes majority
  • separation- withdraws from dominant culture, accepts own culture likes minority
  • marginalization- does not identify with either likes neither
137
Q

Diversity Issues

Worldview

A

Differences in worldview can affect the therapeutic process. For example, White middle-class therapists typically have an internal locus of control and internal locus of responsibility (IC-IR) and are likely to have problems working with an African American client with an internal locus of control and external locus of responsibility (IC-ER) who may challenge the therapist’s authority and trustworthiness and be reluctant to self-disclose.

139
Q

Emic vs Etic

A

Emit and etic refer to different orientations to understanding and describing cultures. An emic orientation is culture-specific and involves understanding the culture from the perspective of members of that culture. An etic orientation is culture-general and assumes that universal principles can be applied to all cultures.

Em - specific cultures write songs starting in Em

140
Q

Diversity Issue

High vs Low Context Communication

A

Members of many culturally diverse groups in America exhibit high-context communication, which relies on shared cultural understanding and nonverbal cues. It helps unify a culture and is slow to change. In contrast, Anglos are more likely to exhibit low-context communication, which relies primarily on the verbal message, is less unifying than high-context communication, and can change rapidly and easily. Differences in communication style can lead to misunderstandings in cross-cultural therapy.

141
Q

Diversity Issues

Cultural Paranoia

A

Ridley described nondisclosure by African American therapy clients as being due to two types of paranoia: A client is exhibiting cultural paranoia (which is a healthy reaction to racism) when he/she does not disclose to a white therapist due to a fear of being hurt or misunderstood. A client is exhibiting functional paranoia (which is due to pathology) when he/she is unwilling to disclose to any therapist, regardless of race or ethnicity, as a result of mistrust and suspicion.

Help client develop disclosure flexibility
