Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert Ellis's...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Treatment satisfaction is crucial for predicting outcomes in medical and psychological therapies.
  • Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is increasingly used for chronic pain management.
  • Understanding patient factors influencing satisfaction is vital for optimizing therapeutic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between patient personality characteristics and satisfaction with CBT sessions.
  • To identify specific personality dimensions that predict treatment satisfaction in older adults with chronic pain.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 43 older adults (average age 72.3 years) in a psychosocial pain management program participated.
  • Participants completed the NEO Five Factor Inventory to assess personality traits.
  • Satisfaction with psychological therapy was measured after each CBT session.

Main Results:

  • Core personality dimensions, including neuroticism, openness, and agreeableness, were found to predict aspects of therapy satisfaction.
  • Specific personality traits demonstrated a significant association with how clients perceived their CBT experience.

Conclusions:

  • Patient personality characteristics are significant predictors of treatment satisfaction in CBT for older adults.
  • These findings can assist clinicians in anticipating patient response to therapy and tailoring interventions.
  • Further research can explore the clinical utility of personality assessments in predicting CBT outcomes.
