Warm-up • Turn in Therapy graphic organizer.

Psychoanalytic Therapy • • • NOT psychodynamic in this case…confusing! Freudian Free association Provide insight Transference Dream interpretation • 3 -7 years @$150/session…

Psychodynamic therapy • Based off Freud • Shorter, cheaper, goal-directed • Face-to-face therapy • Interpersonal psychotherapy: short and intended to relieve symptoms

Humanistic therapy • What is troubling here and now…address this and symptoms will disappear • Responsibility on individual: client-center (nondirective) • Unconditional positive regard from therapist (Rogers) • Gestalt therapy (Frederick Perls): intended to focus on the present (existential) and enable people to make better choices based on their whole (gestalt) circumstances. • Existential therapy (Irvin Yalom): helps people cope with existence—inevitability of death, “condemned to be free, ” and meaninglessness.

Behavior therapy • Change the behavior/symptoms = change the problem • Systematic desensitization (gradual) • Aversive conditioning (opposite of S. D. ) • Flooding (used to treat phobias with prolonged exposure) • Token economy (questions of ethics & “real world”)

Cognitive therapy • Correct distorted thinking and symptoms disappear • Aaron Beck (father of cognitive therapy)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy • RET (Rational Emotive Therapy) – Albert Ellis • Dissatisfied with psychoanalytic, so he developed a new approach. • “People are not bothered by things but by their view of things. ”

Family therapy • Treats a family as a system • Genogram (pictorial display of relationships— visualize patterns & factors in genetic tree/relationships) • You don’t actually draw the people

Meta-analysis • Statistically combining many research studies.

Psychopharmacology (biological therapy) • Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) = extreme depression • Psychosurgery: lobotomies…are not good (sorry guys) • Chemotherapy: antipsychotics, antianxiety, antidepressants

Antipsychotics (neuroleptics) • Major tranquilizers • Schizophrenia: chloropromazine, haloperidol • Side effects: tardive dyskenesia (involuntary muscle movements) and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (delirium, coma, death) • New-generation antipsychotics (clozapine)

Antianxiety • Minor tranquilizers • Xanax, Valium • Increase Cl ions (chloride) in nerve cells which decrease transmission • Side effects: dependency, weakness/paralysis

Antidepressants • Increase serotonin/norepinephrine levels in synapse • MAOI: monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAO breaks down serotonin and norepinephrine) • Tricyclics: prevents reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine • SSRIs: Serotonin prevented from reuptake into terminal button (Prozac) • Lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3): treats bipolar disorder (as well as schizophrenia occasionally). Dampens extreme mood swings

Psychologist vs. Psychiatrist • Psychologist = Ph. D in psychology • Psychiatrist = degree in medicine (can prescribe medicine)
