Q

discriminative stimuli

A

A stimulus that increases the probability of a response because of a previous history of reinforcement in the presence of that stimulus.

e.g. with alcoholism:
- upcoming social interaction
- the presence of alcohol

aka precipitating events

Q

establishing operations

A

any event or procedure that changes the efficacy of a stimulus as a reinforcer or punisher.

For example, in an operant-conditioning study where food is used to positively reinforce behavior, the establishing operation may be food deprivation, which sets up food as a rewarding and reinforcing stimulus.

e.g. for alcoholism: withdrawal symptoms, drinking-related rules

Q

3 pointers in psychoeducating symptoms
dep

A
  • delusional beliefs are attempts to explain unusual experiences or emotions

25
working with hallucinations step and its 5 goals rmlmf
address voices / convictions that are less firmly held main goals: - reduce perceived power of symptoms - make sense of them, thereby reduce distress - listen to auditory stimulation, reading out loud. - mindful exercises - focus attention to something else
26
techniques to challenge hallucinations its aim and techniques (4)
Aim is to stimulate doubt ask client to try out: - record voice when they speak - walk towards or away from voices, does volume change? - take a video or picture for visual hallucinations - explore what other explanation there might be (noise from fridge)
27
working with delusional thoughts (4) ieis
- importance of feeling safe - emotional response is based on reality, even if explanation / belief is not - interpretation is key - socratic questioning
28
delusions associated with
reasoning biases Patients with psychosis show: - tendency to jump to conclusion - tendency to construct unusual explanations for distressing events - tendency to attribute negative outcomes to causes external to themselves
29
The three C's follow these steps to help assuage them and reframe yourself with a positive mindset
Catch It: - what is the automatic thought Check It: - how did it make you feel - what is the evidence for it? Change It: - what is an alternative - what is a new thought to help you reach your goal?
30
common intermediate beliefs of psychosis
If I don't remain on guard all the time, other people will take advantage of me
31
working with negative symptoms (3)
apply CBT techniques like - behavioral self monitoring - behavioral activation and activity scheduling - social skills training
32
key dimensions for relapse prevention in psychosis 5
- recognise and modify emotional distress - interpersonal trust - install hope - identify and change triggers - address help-seeking behavior
33
goals of cbt for eating disorders
- helping the patient decide to change - normalizing the eating pattern - tackle the core psychopathology of over-evaluation eating, shape, weight, and their control
34
how to help patients decide to change in eating disorders 3
try to help patients - become interested in making a fresh start - becoming intrigued about discovering their true personality - be hopeful about the future
35
how to fix body checking for eating disordered 3
- help patients stop non-normative forms of shape checking - help patients modify / reduce normative forms of shape checking - educate about mirror use
36
how to address feelings of being fat 3
- identify peaks of feeling fat - identify their triggers - address the triggers
37
antecedents examples of binge eating
DS: - time - place EO: - feelings - cognitions - physical response - sleep deprivation - prolonged food deprivation
38
consequences (C) of binge eating
Reinforcing consequences: - comfort - satisfaction - no more craving delayed aversive consequences - negative emotions - low self-esteem - weight gain - compensating behaviour
39
food cue reactivity is significantly stronger in...
concerned eaters such as bulimia, binge eaters, obese people food cue reactivity during exposure to tasty food is normal response but it is different with obese people, etc. increased food cue reactivity motivates eating
40
cue exposure and response prevention aim and main points
aim is to extinguish food cue reactivity and decrease cued overeating - to fool your body - new connections between cues and not-eating - they are highly effective
41
protocol of cue exposure with eating disorders 6
1. explain rationale 2. registration of ABCs 3. write script of all antecedents 4. play the script and increase craving as much as you can (smelling, licking, etc) 5. don't eat (response prevention) 6. craving disappears slowly to zero violates "If CS, then US" beliefs If I am alone at home with a box of chocolate, I will eat it all
42
mirror exposure
focus on most attractive body parts (positive exposure) several styles (positive exposure, negative, neutral, etc) are effective. effective treatment for body dissatisfaction
43
Treatment of ARFID (3)
- CBT with exposure - trauma therapy - parents
44
3 underlying mechanisms in the maintenance of eating disorders
- attentional processes towards food and body - sensitivity to punishing and rewarding information - improving body image
45
CS, US, CR examples for dog phobia, panic disorder, OCD,
OCD: shaking hands (CS) --> serious illness (US) --> fear (CR) Panic Attack: dizziness (CS) --> Faint (US) --> fear (CR) Dog phobia: walk in park (CS) --> bite attack (US) --> fear (CR)
46
Mowrer's two-factor theory
1. classical conditioning to develop fear 2. operant conditioning to maintain fear
47
exposure is to which: CS, US, or CR?
CS, conditioned stimulus
48
cognitive conceptualization of depression (3)
- focus on content of thoughts - self-critical thoughts - prediction of effectiveness of behaviour
49
behavioural conceptualization of depression (3)
- focus on behaviour - development and maintenance of depression lie in the environment - a person's actions and non-actions
50
3 behavioural aspects of depression
- depression is regarded as an extinction phenomenon - lack of response contingent positive reinforcement (RCPR) - excess of negative reinforcement (personal, social)
51
negative spiral of depression
you feel depressed v you undertake few activities v you feel more depressed v you undertake less activities v you feel desperately down
52
positive spiral from depression
you feel depressed v you have a positive experience v you feel a little better v you undertake more activities v you feel even better
53
contributing factors to pandemic depression
Lack of RCPR during pandemic: - confined to own house - lack of social interaction - loneliness
54
implementation of behavioral activation 4 stages
1. activity monitoring 2. individualize treatment targets 3. construction of behavioral activation hierarchy 4. behavioral activation assignments
55
how to identify pleasant activities for depressed
1. problem solving approach (brainstorm, behavioral experiments) 2. administer the Pleasant Events Schedule
56
schema ABC
A - activating event B - beliefs (cognitive schemas and experiences) C - consequences
57
schema
an extremely stable, enduring negative pattern of thoughts, feelings and behavior that develops during childhood or adolescence and is elaborated throughout an individual's life
58
schema therapy's focus
- childhood: traumas and early relationships - current problems: here and now - therapeutic relationship (e.g. limited reparenting)
59
core childhood needs (7) (G-SLAVES)
- safety - empathy - acceptance & praise - guidance & protection - stable base, predictability - love, nurturing & attention - validation of feelings
60
general treatment strategy of schema therapy (5)
1. schema identification 2. detecting schema coping 3. identifying early maladaptive schemas 4. changing schemas 5. adopting more positive schemas
61
how to identify early maladaptive schemes (3)
1. use young schema questionnaire 2. using imagery 3. affect bridge (go back to significant moment in childhood that relates to this particular schema)
62
Affect bridge example
“So you felt so small and worthless again last week in that situation, okay now focus on that feeling of worthlessness while letting go of the situation. You feel it? Now go back in time and see if any situation pops up while you keep focussing on that feeling."
63
how to identify schema (2)
- apply downward arrow technique - combine horizontal and vertical exploration
64
3 general coping strategies
- schema avoidance - schema overcompensation - schema surrender
65
how to detect schema coping
- what do you do to avoid your schema being triggered? - what do you do to compensate the effects of your schema?
66
central phase of schema therapy 3
- link current problems to early patterns - break with coping - modi - processing using experiential techniques
67
3 examples of experiential techniques
empathic confrontation (showing empathy for the reason driving the behavior, but insist on changing behavior) empty chair technique imagery rescripting
68
imagery rescripting process aim and its 4 phases
aim is to change the meaning of the events that happened in the past Phase 1: past is relived from child perspective Phase 2: therapist steps in and rescripts Phase 3: patient steps in with healthy adult mode and rescripts Phase 4: rescripting by self, experienced through the child perspective
69
schema therapy vs clarification-oriented psychotherapy vs treatment as usual
ST > TAU > COP schema therapy was cost effective clarification-oriented psychotherapy was not cost effective
70
cons of cbt (3)
- difficult to define CBT - fuzzy boundaries with other schools of therapy - too many claims to fame
