Behavioral theory positive enforcement (Lewinsohn, 1974)
increased likelihood of behaviour being repeated when followed by pleasant stimuli
1 of 18
Behavioural theory negative enforcement (Lewinsohn, 1974)
increased likelihood of a behaviour being repeated when followed by removal of aversive stimuli.
2 of 18
Behavioural theory generalisation (Lewinsohn, 1974)
transfer of a learned response to one stimuli to an alternative one (e.g. I felt better when I cancelled going to the party, so I should also cancel lunch at my parent’s)

Graded exposure (Barlow, 1988)
A behavioural technique, where the process of habituation is the mechanism of change.

Psychoeducation exposure: prolonged
until SUDS (subjective units of distress) reduces by 50%, can take up to 2 hours for adrenaline to reduce)
6 of 18
Psychoeducation exposure: graded (Yerkes, Dobson, 1908)
Needs to elicit enough arousal that person is paying attention through exposure to fear, but not so much that they are overwhelmed.)
7 of 18
Psychoeducation exposure: repeated
(if exposures are short, needs to be repeated more. Normally around 5 times a week)
8 of 18
Psychoeducation exposure: without distraction
need to allow self to experience peak anxiety and experience it reducing without doing anything which would reinforce avoidance)

Habituation
is a decline in fear responses- exposure technique is to demonstrate habituation. Extinction is where you get a minimal anxiety response.

Worry Tree (Butler & Hope, 2007) addresses negative problem orientation
Q1: what am I worrying about? Q2: is there anything I can do about this? Q3: is there anything I can do about this right now? If yes- do it using problem-solving. If no- refocus to present moment and let the worry go.

Reach Out (Richards & Whyte, 2011) suggest 7 steps problem solving
1) Identify problem (must be practical) 2) identify potential solutions (anything welcome, don’t reject any) 3) Evaluate solution (adv and disadv of each and rank options) 4) Select solution 5) Plan implementation (SMART) 6: implement 7) review

Worry Time (Borkovec et al., 1983) addresses cognitive avoidance by exposure to worry
• Step 1: identify hypothetical worries and write them down • Step 2: refocus on present moment • Step 3: worry in designated worry time • Step 4: throw out list and refocus by doing an engaging activity

Relaxation techniques: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (Jacobson, 1934)
Involves tuning into sensations of tension in body through series of deliberate and intense tightening of muscle groups. By exaggerating the amount that might naturally occur, user is taught to recognise signs of tension and learns how to release it.

Relaxation techniques: breathing (Meuret, 2008)
Can offer person alternative focus for attention other than anxiety. E.g. diaphragmatic breathing where you breathe to ensure the stomach moves but the chest does not.

cCBT: Waller (2009)
Waller & Gilbody (2009): high satisfaction levels among CCBT users, but low uptake and high drop-out rate. Therapists also found to be less enthusiastic about CCBT.

• Encourage re-engagement by praising previous efforts • Cite evidence-base • Offer a telephone review
