Summary

Outlines:

CBT is a process of teaching, coaching, and

reinforcing positive behaviors. CBT helps people to identify cognitive patterns or thoughts and emotions that are linked with behaviors.

It a form of psychotherapy that assumes that maladaptive, or faulty, thinking patterns cause maladaptive behavior and "negative" emotions.

Definition:

CBT aims to teach people that it is possible to

have control over their thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

It helps the person to challenge and overcome automatic beliefs, and use practical strategies to change or modify their behaviour.

The result is more positive feelings, which in turn lead to more positive thoughts and behaviours. 

How is it used?

CBT is a learning process. It is basically a talking therapy.

CBT is thought to be effective for the treatment of a variety of conditions including:

1. Phobias. 2. Addictions. 3. Depression.

CONT..

Cognitive vs Behavioural

therapy:

Cognitive therapy

Focuses on identifying & changing the

distorted thinking

(cognition) that maintains the

condition

Behavioral therapyProvides

strategies/ skills to modify behaviour e.g. desensitisation

Behavioural therapy teaches the patient the necessary skills to modify their behaviour in a way that makes it .adaptive rather than maladaptive

Behavioural Therapy:

Modeling: therapists perform role-playing exercises aimed at responding in a way that is helpful to overcome difficult situations.

Homework: is actually a set of assignments given by therapists to patients .

Computer-Assisted Therapy: This therapy tends to decrease time spent with an actual therapist and replace it with computer-based programs

Techniques of CBT:

Previous research indicates a high

prevalence of untreated anxiety and depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The current study examined the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in groups for co-morbid, clinically significant anxiety and depression in COPD outpatients of both sexes.

Objective:

In a randomized, controlled trial, CBT (n = 25)

was compared with enhanced standard care (n = 26). Participants in both conditions were followed up at 2 and 8 months from baseline.

Main outcome measures comprised the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory-II. Measures of health status and sleep were included as secondary outcomes. The effects of sex and age were also investigated.

Methods :

CBT resulted in improvement in symptoms of

anxiety and depression, with effect sizes of 1.1 and 0.9 at post-treatment, respectively. The improvement was maintained at the 8-month follow-up, with effect sizes of 1.4 and 0.9. In the control group, there was no significant change.

Compared to men, women had higher symptom levels throughout the whole study period. Younger patients had more anxiety and depression, age had also differential effects in the two groups on change in depressive symptoms. Changes in sleep and health status were small in both groups.

Results :

The findings indicate that CBT may provide rapid symptom relief for COPD patients with clinically significant anxiety and depression, and underlinethe need for integrating mental health care into the overall medical regimen for COPD.

Conclusion :

CBT with Asthma

Present study is a field and Quasi-experimental whose

statistical society includes all patients with Asthma who have referred to Khatamol-Anbia Hospital for treatment.

A total of 48 individuals were tested and controlled by purposive sampling procedure.

8 individual CBT sessions were conducted in experimental group during intervention period then

the number of asthma attacks in the pre-test and post-test periods was evaluated.

This paper provides for the first time cases of individual psychological therapy undertaken in tertiary, difficult to

treat asthma services using "third wave “cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches .

Objective:

These cases were selected to represent common psychological presentations in difficult to treat asthma clinics, namely denial of severity and over-identification with asthma. Assessment, formulation, intervention and results are outlined.

Methods:

Case 1 demonstrated change from severe to

mild depression and anxiety, reduction in shame and improved well-being.

Case 2 demonstrated improvements in well-being and psychological symptoms. Both interventions were experienced by the patients as highly satisfactory

Results :

It is concluded that a psychological understanding of patients' presentations can open up new avenues for intervention. Further research into the potential utility of third wave cognitive therapies in difficult to treat asthma is warranted.

Conclusion :

CBT helps people to identify cognitive patterns or thoughts and emotions that are linked with behaviors.

There are many techniques for CBT such as : modeling, home work, and computer-assisted therapy etc…

Studies shown that CBT is successful for some COPDs and asthmatic patients.
