task-centered treatment
assessments focused on helping the client identify the problem that is of primary concern
time-limited psychotherapy
addresses the client’s emotional reactions to a strictly time-limited process that makes optimal use of the role of the “doctor-patient” relationship.
behavioral approaches
these theories represent the systematic application of principles of learning theory to the analysis and treatment of behavior. **The goal is to modify behavior.
Classical conditioning
two stimuli are linked together to produce a new learned response in a person or animal.
(turkey and bell with dog saliva)
operant conditioning
is a method of learning that employs rewards and punishments for behavior
aversion therapy
a type of behavior therapy designed to make a patient give up an undesirable habit by causing them to associate it with an unpleasant effect.
(shock therapy every time thinking of cig)
shaping method
used to train a new behavior by prompting and reinforcing successive approximations of the desired behaviors
flooding
a treatment procedure in which an individual’s anxiety is extinguished by prolonged imagined or in vivo exposure to high-intensity feared stimuli.
modeling
method of instruction which involves an individual (the model) demonstrating the behavior to be acquired by the observer.
sensate focus
sex therapy that involves a couple providing each other with pleasurable sensory stimulation through a structured body massage; also known as pleasuring.
in vivo desensitization
pairing and movement through ranking that takes place in “real” setting.
squeeze technique
a procedure for delaying ejaculation.
positive reinforcement
increases probability that behavior with occur;
ex. the worker praises, gives tokens, or otherwise rewards positive behaviors
negative reinforcement
behavior increases because negative (aversive) stimulus is removed
ex. removing restrictions from a child when she follows the rules
chaining
it involves reinforcing individual responses occurring in a sequence to form a complex behavior.
fading
a term used to describe a procedure for gradually changing one stimulus controlling a behavior to another stimulus
extinction
refers to the fading and disappearance of behavior that was previously learned by association with another event.
prescriptions
the worker tells the client specifically how to behave in certain situations and expects the client to behave that way.
cognitive approach
certain thoughts cause certain behaviors, and certain behaviors cause certain feelings. CBT
rational emotive therapy (RET)
is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The therapy emphasizes changing irrational thinking patterns that cause emotional distress into thoughts that are more reasonable and rational.
gestalt
experiences are not isolated but part of a perceptual system of interdependent factors; treatment is experiential, here and now, often used with groups as well as individuals
group psychotherapy
treatment of patients with mental illness
contra-indications for group treatment
client in crisis, compulsive need for attention, actively psychotic, paranoid, suicidal
community social work/community organization
