Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Long-term Depression

Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Community Based Intervention

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Classification of Illness

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. 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...

Mental Health

Background:

The very long-term unemployed (over 2 years) experience significant mental health challenges and employment barriers.
Re-employment for this demographic is often hindered by social and psychological difficulties.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a pilot vocational cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) program.
To assess the program's impact on mental health and employment outcomes for the very long-term unemployed.

Main Methods:

A pre-test-post-test design with a 12-week follow-up was employed.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) group training focused on mental health, self-esteem, optimism, and work attitudes.
Participants were recruited via employment agencies in Sydney, Australia.

Main Results:

After 12 weeks, participants showed increased optimism and improved attitudes towards work.
More than 50% of the 21 participants secured some form of paid employment.
Positive changes in mental health indicators were observed post-intervention.

Conclusions:

Vocationally oriented CBT shows promise in aiding the very long-term unemployed to re-enter the workforce.
Despite the small sample size, findings suggest CBT is a valuable approach for this population.
Further research is warranted to confirm generalizability and long-term effects.
