Interventions Overview Consumer Reports Survey
(Nov, 1995) 4,000 readers responded Therapy resulted in some improvement for
the majority (relative) MD, PhD, and MSW all about the same Therapy alone was as good as therapy +
meds More treatment was related to more
improvement

Interventions Overview Consumer Reports Survey
Serious Limitations/Criticisms: Probably unrepresentative sample Retrospective—halo effect Cognitive dissonance effect may be
occurring May only say that folks like getting therapy Not external validity, not internal validity,
more customer satisfaction which matters!, just differently

Interventions Overview What about therapist variables?
Empathy, warmth, and genuineness? Age? Personality? Freedom from personal problems? Experience and professional
identification? What about own values about ethnicities,
genders, orientations, etc.?

Critical Thinking Moment Freedom from personal problems
Should psychologists not have a history of psychological problems?
Is this feasible? What if they have a history of problems? How could we specify this issue where it
might matter? Past or present? Degree? Type? Level?
Does this affect thoughts on requiring therapy?

Theoretical Perspectives and Assumptions of Psychopathology
Different paradigms have different assumptions about what creates human suffering, and what alleviates it Each paradigm is complete Each has pros and cons Each will dramatically affect choices of
assessment and intervention Some are more scientific Some are more applicable to psychology

Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic/Freudian theories
Assumptions of psychopathology Role of the unconscious
Limited access to what occurs for us psychologically
Unconscious conflict leads to tension anxiety
Conflicts are NOT expressed directly

Psychoanalytic… These all take psychic energy
Fixed amount of psychic energy = Hydraulic Model If one uses too many defense mechanisms one
will run out of psychic energy --- or if you use too much energy in one
Result in less well-functioning organism In pathology, look for symptoms of distress,
cannot see the actual pathology directly (disease model)

psychoanalytic theory Curative process is the resolution of the
unconscious tension Need to free up the psychic energy being spent on
defenses Challenges
We cannot directly access unconscious conflict Uses hypothetical constructs for problems

Humanistic/Existential Theories Assumptions of psychopathology
Blocked in ability to grow, or How we understand ourselves becomes
incongruent with what we actually see
Anxiety Feel anxious when contact with information that is
not consistent with how we view ourselves (our self-concept)
Incongruence between the self-concept and society

38 of 59
Humanistic Theories Assumptions of curative factors
Want to create a fully functioning person Continue to pursue our greatness, our own full
potential Need to remove conditions of worth Need to allow client to find meaning and
do own growth Client holds the key to psychological health
happiness This is called non-directive therapy Also called person-centered or client-
centered therapy

openly and honestly Unconditional positive regard
Therapist does not place conditions of worth on client
Accepts and respects client no matter how client behaves, no matter what client says
Empathy Therapist tries to see things from the client’s
perspective

Behavioral or Learning Models Assumptions of psychopathology
People learn their problems Problems occur naturally through a learning
process Classical conditioning
e.g., phobias Operant conditioning
e.g., Substance abuse, Personality disorders, depression This learning is NOT direct instruction
Typically natural and can even be passive Problems are sustained largely through escape
and avoidance of aversive events
![Page 42: Psychotherapy & Intervention. 2 of 59 Review of the Homework Trull: Chapter 11 (Interventions) Yalom: Three Unopened Letters (chapter) Questions? Comments?](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56649e445503460f94b386b6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42 of 59
Behavioral or Learning Models Thoughts require a slightly modified analysis
but are still understood as both important and as behaviors The avoidance of thoughts can lead to more
problems in living It is the avoidance that produces the problems, not
the thoughts Interpersonal problems can be fundamental in
bringing about and sustaining ineffective behaviors (psychopathology)
![Page 43: Psychotherapy & Intervention. 2 of 59 Review of the Homework Trull: Chapter 11 (Interventions) Yalom: Three Unopened Letters (chapter) Questions? Comments?](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56649e445503460f94b386b6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43 of 59
Behavioral or Learning Models Assumptions of curative factors
If problems are learned, new and more effective behaviors can be learned as well
Real key is exposure and extinction Keep in mind both classical and operant
conditioning Techniques
Graduated exposure treatments Flooding
![Page 44: Psychotherapy & Intervention. 2 of 59 Review of the Homework Trull: Chapter 11 (Interventions) Yalom: Three Unopened Letters (chapter) Questions? Comments?](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56649e445503460f94b386b6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44 of 59
Graduated Exposure Person gradually taken into the feared
situation or exposed to the feared stimulus or traumatic memory until the anxiety subsides Systematic desensitization
Use counterconditioning extinction to reduce fear Work through an “anxiety hierarchy” of situations that
lead to fearful reactions Imagine fearful situations while remaining relaxed
Also used in Cognitive processing therapies (CPT) for sexual assault

47 of 59
Flooding Person is taken directly into the
feared situation until the anxiety subsides Escape response is prevented
completely Pros and cons to this
When would you NOT use this? Just as effective as systematic
desensitization for phobias

Behavioral or Learning Models Challenge
Hard to conceptualize problems contextually that include rich factors
Challenge Difficult to identify all key variables in behavioral
analysis

Behavioral or Learning Models Contemporary Behavior Therapies
All have very active behavioral component Acceptance Commitment Therapy
Focus on intrapersonal acceptance Having emotional unwanted experiences

Biological Approaches Assumptions of psychopathology
Psychological problems are caused by events at the biological (cellular) level
Disruptions in neurotransmitters cause the expression of emotional or psychological disturbances
Behavior at the level of physiology has direct expression at the level of psychology
Look for symptoms of distress, cannot see the actual disease entity for most psychopathology (c.f. Alzheimer’s) Disease model of psychopathology
