Q

Levels of Prevention

A 
•Primary-interventions designed to prevent the onset of future incidences of a specific problem 
     -ideal time for intervention as it targets those at high risk for various biopsychosocial concerns (e.g. skills class w/ teens)
  • Secondary- an early intervention that decreases the prevalence of a specific problem; seeks to diagnose and treat a disorder in its early stages
  • Tertiary- treatment designed to improve quality of life and reduce the symptoms after a disease/disorder has developed; does not reduce the incidence or prevalence

Q

Individuation (as defined by Jung)

-difference between 1st and 2nd stages

Q

MMPI-2 Validity Scales:

  • which scales measure psychopathology through extreme items that are rarely endorsed by the norm population?
  • which one of them is considered the best measure of overall psychopathology?
  • which one is the best at detecting feigning serious pathology?
A

•F (Infrequency):
-considered the best measure of overall
psychopathology
-In addition to psychopathology, measures
resentment, acting out, moodiness

•Fb (Infrequency Back):
-like the ‘F’ scale, it has items infrequently endorsed
by the normed population but looks explicitly at
how answers shift through the course of the test
-also can measure decompensation on the latter
half of the test

•Fp (Infrequency Pathology):
-better at detecting those feigning serious
pathology
-developed of items endorsed less than 10% of the
time

  • Salvador Minuchin
  • Key Concepts: family structure, rules, subsystems, executive subsystem (parents/caregivers), boundaries

•Core Problem Dynamic: boundaries too rigid or diffused; incongruent subsystem, too rigid; conflict avoidance

  • Mechanism of Change: executive subsystem, support, clear structure
  • Goal: structure, so families can function in a way that allows them to solve their own problems

strengthen boundaries

34
Q

Structural Family Therapy

A

•Joining: therapist accepting/accomodating to families; win their confidence and circumvent resistance
-accomodating to their style: therapist gives
leverage

  • Restructuring: maneuvers/transforms the family structure
  • Enactment: interaction stimulated in order to observe and then change transactions that make up the family structure. Deal directly with each other in sessions; therapist observes/modifies interactions
35
