- therapies of all approaches.
- DRUG THERAPY - BIOLOGICAL
- drugs can target different parts of the brain, mental illness can be treated the same as physical illness - the medical model
- antipsychotics can help treat schizophrenic disorders and their are a few types.
- atypical occupy the receptors temporarily managing the intake of dopamine.
- conventional antipsychoticsblock the neurotransmitters
- anti anxiety drug types are like valium, there are Beta Blockers that reduce adrenaline and noradrenalin by binding to the heart and arousing other body parts
- benzodiazepines (BZ's) are a common anxiety treatment, they slow down the nervous system by GABA enhancers.
- antidepressants work by reducing the reuptake of the neurotransmitter.
- they can work in two ways, one is blocking the enzymes the other blocks the transporter mechanism that reabsorbs
- SSRI is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and blocks transporter
- COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY - COGNITIVE.
- CBT is all about changing a persons thought process/patterns.
- cognitive restructuring is where a therapist questions the evidence .
- dysfunctional thought diary, is where they rate events 1-100 in how much they think they are going to happen
- both therapist and client work together in this.
- in the therapy they plan each day to give a sense of accomplishment ,positive distracts from negative thoughts.
- SYSTEMATIC DESENSITISATION - BEHAVIOURIST
- systematic helps people get over their phobias through reciprocal inhibition.
- 1. taught to relax, 2. create heirarchy, 3. visualise event, 4. move to next after mastered and go through ladder
- direct = vivo
- indirect = vitro/covert
- the desensitisation heirarchy starts with least, and goes to worst
- counterconditioning is the reciprocal inhibition or mindfulness, relaxation inhibits the anxiety.
- PSYCHOANALYSIS - PSYCHODYNAMIC
- psychoanalysis is a form of therapy to make the unconscious conscious, it is all about the threatening nature of our unconscious
- it helps surface traumatic events
- when we sleep our ego defences are low, the ID roams free in sleep.
- freud described dreams as a railroad to the unconscious.
- the real meaning of a dream, latent content is transformed into a different thing called manifest content.
- a penis may represent a snake or a gun and a vagina as a tunnel or a cave
- not everything is symbolic though, a cigar could just be a cigar.
- the therapist is to reverse the dreamwork process to decode the manifest content to latent content.
- secondary elaboration is the unconscious mind collecting images
- DRUG THERAPY - BIOLOGICAL
