Introduction
a. Two Main Classifications for Mental Health Therapies (Myers 685) i. The Psychological Therapies 1. Psychotherapy: the first branch (of two) of the mental health therapies that seeks to alleviate and/or remedy learned psychological disorders through non-medication methods of talking interaction and cooperation between a trained professional and a patient suffering from said psychological disorder; prescribed effectiveness heavily relies on/is attributed to the emotional component ii. The Biomedical Therapies 1. Biomedical Therapy: the second branch (of two) of the mental help therapies that seeks to alleviate and/or remedy psychological disorders through physically modifying the structure and function of the patients malfunctioning nervous system primarily through prescription medication for psychological disorders or one of the several surgeries that are specifically for neuroses and psychoses b. In modern times, many psychologists and psychiatrists have been combining psychotherapy and biomedical therapy, to form the methods of the eclectic approach and psychotherapy integration i. Eclectic Approach: very reliant on the biopsychosocial model, the technique that administers a combination of different types of

psychotherapy and biomedical therapy in order to treat a patient ii. Psychotherapy Integration: also very reliant on the biopsychosocial model, the technique that takes a combination, if not the full complement, of psychotherapy and biomedical therapy methods of treatment and merges them into one cohesive method of treatment II.
First Umbrella: The Psychological Therapies (Myers 686) a. Section One {Psychotherapy Type #1}: Psychoanalysis (Myers 686)

Psychoanalysis: Freuds theory of the unconscious; using the path created by the responses given during free association and other techniques employed during private psychoTHERAPY **Note: session, revolved around the belief that unconscious Psychoanalytical memories (especially painful unconscious or extremely therapy is not a scienceit is just a sexual memories) usually rooted in childhood could be form of therapy. mentally accessible to the patient, and were the basis of motives, and the cause of conflicts, problems and disorders in the patients adult life ii. Sub-Section One: Aims (Myers 686) 1. Objectives of Psychoanalysis a. Drawing unconscious memories/feelings/motivations into the patients conscious mind, where the psychoanalyst can help them release the negative energy related to the clashing of the id, superego, and ego and eliminate the manifested problem iii. Sub-Section Two: Methods (Myers 687) 1. Methods of Treatment in Psychoanalysis a. PSYCHOANALYTIC TREATMENT #1:: Free Association: one of the primary therapies used in the psychoanalytical school of psychology, in which the patient would relax, and subsequently say whatever they were thinking in that frame of mind, no matter how trivial or embarrassing, to the analyst (who would be

PSYCHOANALYTIC TREATMENT #2::Analyzing Dream Content:: Latent Content: the underlying meaning of the manifest content (the surface content) of dreams 2. Outcomes of Psychoanalytical Treatment a. Transference: the act in which a patient unconsciously moves their strong emotions from a recalled memory to their analyst, causing them to feel that specific emotion for their analyst; thought to effectively reveal the unconscious emotions to both the patient and analystmaking it easier in terms of identification and insight into past occurrences and present relationships 3. Criticisms of Psychoanalytical Therapy a. Because psychoanalysis is not quantitative, effectiveness of therapy cannot be proven OR disproven b. $$$$ [Very Expensive] iv. Sub-Section Three: Psychodynamic Therapy (Myers 688) 1. Psychodynamic Therapists: ascribing to the psychodynamic perspective, these therapists administer therapy based on many of the facets of psychoanalytical therapy (including childhood experiences and the therapist relationship, helping patients gain insight on suppressed cognition and emotion; different in terms of frequency of therapeutic sessions and duration of therapy (less frequent than psychoanalytical therapy sessions and for a shorter amount of time) a.

1. HUMANISTIC THERAPY #1:: Client-Centered Therapy: as developed by humanistic psychologist Carl Therapy, one of the most popular methods of humanistic therapy, in which the therapist mainly listens to the patients selfperception/self-cognition, while genuinely empathizing and sympathizing with the patient (striving to be a human mirror to the patient of themselves) a. Nondirective Therapy: the specific form of therapy employed in client-centered therapy, in which the psychologist truly focuses on hearing the patient by letting the patient himself identify and analyze his self-perceptions and insights rather than shaping said selfperceptions and insights b. Active Listening: the specific form of hearing employed in clientcentered therapy, in which the therapist attentively listens to the patient and only speaks when asking for clarification of an emotion/thought/circumstance from the patient (demonstrating that the patient is truly being HEARD) c.

ii. Sub-Section Four: Classical Conditioning Techniques (Myers 691) 1. Introduction a. A section of behavior therapies comes from Pavlovs theories about learning (classical conditioning) i. Counterconditioning: one of the methods of combined behavior-classical conditioning therapy in which the unconditioned stimulus is paired with a more adaptive conditioned response that is incompatible with the previous undesired unconditioned response (usually the UCR=fear, and the new CR=a relaxed state in which fear cannot exist) 1. Divided into the two specific techniques of exposure therapies and aversive conditioning 2. ..-Section One: Exposure Therapies (Myers 691) a. Exposure Therapies: as derived from Mary Cover Jones groundbreaking work, this umbrella method of counterconditioning effectively reduces a patients fear response by HABITUATING the triggering UCS with a relaxed state i. One type of exposure therapy is systematic desensitization 1. Systematic Desensitization: developed by psychiatrist Joseph Wolpe, this form of exposure therapy works on the conjecture that anxiousness and relaxation cannot coexist; consistently arouses relaxation in the presence of anxiety-triggering UCSs. a. How It Works i. The patient gives their behavior therapist their hierarchy of anxietytriggering situations (beginning with situations that only arouse mild

anxietysituations that arouse high anxiety levels). ii. The behavior therapist then uses progressive relaxation to help build the association between relaxation and the arousing situation. a) Progressive Relaxation: facilitation of an absolutely relaxed state in which the patient, as directed by the therapist, slowly relaxes one muscle group at a time until said state of total relaxation is achieved iii. Once in a state of relaxation, the behavior therapist recalls the first situation of the patients anxietytriggering hierarchy. iv. If the recall of this situation arouses anxiety, the patient alerts the therapist by raising one finger, and the therapist asks the patient to erase the mental movie of the situation and return to their deep relaxed state. v. This slow method of desensitization is facilitated several times by the behavior therapist until the highest imagined anxiety-arousing situation [of the hierarchy] has been conquered. ii. Another type of exposure therapy is virtual reality exposure

(or the phobia is too embarrassing to recreate), this form of exposure therapy involves creating a threedimensional virtual reality of the anxiety-triggering situation using a complex system of somatosensory sensors and a head-mounted display unit (Myers 692) 3. ..-Section Two: Aversive Conditioning (Myers 692) a. Aversive Conditioning: unlike systematic desensitization and its variants, which seek to reduce the anxiety associated with a harmless circumstance, this form of counterconditioning seeks to associate a harmful situation or stimulus with a negative UCR and CR, as to discourage the client from subsequent interaction (i.e., when treating a borderline alcoholic by linking severe nausea with alcohol consumption)

(McCubbin 12; Myers 693). i. Only effective in the long run if used in conjunction with other solidifying treatments iii. Sub-Section Five: Operant Conditioning (Myers 693) 1. Another method of maladaptive-behavior reform used by behavior therapists is behavior modification a. Behavior Modification: emphasizing adaptive behaviors by reinforcing them (usually through some form of reward), while diminishing maladaptive behavior by withholding reinforcement and/or exacting punishment~OPERANT CONDITIONING i. Token Economy: particularly used by therapists in institutional settings, this method of

positive reinforcement involves giving some form of token (i.e., a ticket, a plastic coin, a Howard P.A.W.) when adaptive behavior is exhibited by a patient; these tokens can be eventually redeemed for a wide array of desired prizes such as day trips or an extra dessert 1. PROS [of Token Economy] Very successful in promoting adaptive behaviors Proponents cite its humane parameters that are more gentle than other mental-treatment options 2. CONS [of Token Economy] May make the patient too reliant on extrinsic motivators Questionable ethics~the authoritarian taint of token economypicking and choosing which behaviors will be reinforced, and which ones will be discouraged (Myers 694) d.

ii. Sub-Section Six: Cognitive Therapy for Depression (Myers 695) 1. As promoted by cognitive therapist Aaron Beck (who developed a protocol of gentle, nudging questioning for helping depressed patients realize their self-destructive process of cognition and emotion), as well as Adele Rabin (whose research promoted the huge impact of positive-thinking exercises on depressed persons), and Donald Meichenbaum (who developed stress inoculation training) a. Stress Inoculation Training: as developed by cognitivebehavioral therapist Donald Meichenbaum, this is the method of eliminating self-destructive cognition by countering said negative cognition with positive self-talk 2. Cognitive-Behavior Therapy: the integration of behavioral therapy with cognitive therapy that not only modifies the ways in which patients think, but simultaneously modifies their behavior

and potentially, their personality; seeks to make people aware of their irrational negative thinking,replace it with new ways of thinking, and to practice the more positive approach in everyday settings (Myers 697). e.
Section Five {Psychotherapy Type #5}: Group and Family Therapies (Myers 697)
i. Group Therapy 1. PROS a. Patients benefit from being in session with others who have similar circumstances b. Experience of increased feedback and reassurance 2. CONS a. The one-on-one patient-therapist interaction is diluted, due to the presence and needs of other patients in the group 3. Family Therapy: a specialized type of group therapy in which a family unit that has been troubled by the clashing between each members need for individuation from their family and a simultaneous need for the emotional cohesiveness of the family environment; promotes healthier familial interaction through consideration of the family unit, each individuals familial role, and establishing effective ways of familial communication and conflict-resolution

Second Umbrella: Evaluating Psychotherapies (Myers 700) a. Section Five: Is Psychotherapy Effective? (Myers 700)
i. Sub-Section Seven: Clients Perceptions (Myers 700) 1. Client perceptions of therapys effectiveness can be easily distorted, due to the facts that: a. Many clients enter therapy in the midst of personal crisis, and do not account emotional alleviation to the crisis simultaneously ending b. Many clients feel the need to think that their therapy was effective (b/c of the amount of money spent, self-justification), and thus this need manifests into a false truth

c. Many clients find it hard to say anything negative about their therapist, who has gone to great lengths to be a supportive figure in their rehabilitation 2. Testimonials also can offer distorted perceptions of therapy effectiveness ii. Sub-Section Eight: Clinicians Perceptions (Myers 701) 1. Clinicians perceptions about the effectiveness of therapy are distorted by the self-serving bias (they wrongly see other therapists failures more than the facts of the matter) a. Both clients and clinicians are influenced by other phenomena such as the placebo effect and regression toward the mean i. Placebo Effect: the phenomenon in which physical effects occur because of ones belief that they are receiving actual treatment ii. Regression Toward the Mean: the tendency for extreme events or circumstances to return towards levels of normality (i.e. a patient who enters therapy with extremely low levels of happiness/selfesteemachieving normal levels of happiness/self-esteem after therapy [and falsely thinking that therapy caused a massive shift in their mood and selfperception]) iii. Sub-Section Nine: Outcome Research (Myers 702) 1. Outcome Studies (Textbook Definition): randomized clinical trials in which people on a waiting list receive therapy or no therapy (Myers 710) a. Meta-Analysis: one of the more popular ways of quantitatively evaluating the effectiveness of psychotherapy, in which raw data collected from researchers evaluation of the subjects of randomized clinical trials/their friends/family/third-party psychologists/experiment conclusions is statistically combined into one massive study for easier and more widespread analysis and comprehensive conclusion

1. Double-Blind Procedure: in this protocol, neither the participants in the clinical trials for the psychological drug therapy nor the research staff know which participant received the actual drug, or the placebo (or non-effective) drug. This is done to reduce the likelihood for increased pressure on the trial participant or the research staff to deliver promising results. ii. Sub-Section Fifteen: Antipsychotic Drugs (Myers 711) 1. Antipsychotic Drugs: including Thorazine (chlorpromazine) and Clozaril (clozapine), the types of medication that were accidentally found to calm severely psychotic patients experiencing positive symptoms by reducing triggering/agitation by irrelevant stimuli, or patients experience the negative symptoms of apathy and catatonia, respectively; work by blocking dopamine-receptor sites in the brain a. Side Effects, like antipsychotic drugs themselves, are serious i. Include the loss of muscle control paired with sluggishness often seen in Parkinsons Disease (which is also caused by low amounts of dopamine) ii. Tardive Dyskinesia: a neurotoxic side effect that results from long-term usage of antipsychotic drugs, particularly the one that target D2 dopamine receptors; characteristics include involuntary movements of the facial muscles (such as grimacing), tongue, and limbs (Myers 712) 2. New-Generation Antipsychotic Drugs: including clozapine, Risperdal, and Zyprexa, these modern drugs instead target D1 dopamine receptors instead of D2 dopamine receptors, alleviating many of the side effects associated with classic antipsychotic drugs; though these NGADs increase the incidence of obesity and weight gain (Myers 712)

iii. Sub-Section Sixteen: Antianxiety Drugs (Myers 712) 1. Antianxiety Drugs: including the commonly known Xanax and Ativan, drugs that reduce anxiety caused by traumatic situations and unpleasant stimuli by depressing the central nervous system through lowering levels of the neurotransmitter Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) (Myers 712) a. Side Effects can include severe physiological dependence, resulting in equally severe withdrawal symptomology iv. Sub-Section Seventeen: Antidepressant Drugs (Myers 713) 1. Antidepressant Drugs: the new order of treatment for anxiety disorders, these drugs effectively eliminate feelings of depression previously felt by the patient; accomplished by increasing the amount of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine/noradrenaline and serotonin; includes well-known drugs such as Prozac, which is actually a selective-serotonin-
reuptake-inhibitor (SSRI)
a. Selective-Serotonin-Reuptake-Inhibitors (SSRIs): antidepressant drugs that partially prevent the reabsorption and removal of serotonin from the synapses; include the drugs Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil (Myers 713)

Dual-Action Antidepressants: antidepressant drugs that are classic antidepressant drugs and selectiveserotonin-reuptake-inhibitors combined into one; work by simultaneously preventing the reuptake and breakdown of norepinephrine and serotonin (Myers 713) 2. No antidepressant medication works instantly; in fact, it takes 4 weeks to see any true psychological effect a.
