Cognitive Therapy

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...

Cognition and Behavior

Social psychology examines the complex interplay between individual mental processes and social interactions. Historically, the field was divided into two domains: social behavior and social cognition. Researchers focusing on social behavior analyzed actions within social contexts, such as conformity, aggression, or cooperation. Meanwhile, social cognition researchers investigated how people perceive, interpret, and mentally represent their social environments. However, modern perspectives no...

Causes of Social Behavior II: Cognitive Processes

Cognitive processes affect social behavior by guiding how individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to social stimuli. These mental processes enable individuals to assess others' behaviors, attribute causes to their actions, and form expectations based on past experiences.Causes of Behavior and Social JudgmentsIndividuals determine the causes of others' behaviors by distinguishing between personal traits and external circumstances. For example, if a friend frequently arrives late, an...

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...

Background:

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by itch and inflammation.
Mechanisms perpetuating AD include scratching, sleep disturbance, and situational avoidance, leading to reduced quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of an exposure-based cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) incorporating mindfulness for adults with AD.

Main Methods:

An uncontrolled pretest-posttest design was employed with 9 adult participants from a university hospital dermatology clinic.
The treatment consisted of 10 weekly sessions over 10 weeks, with assessments at baseline, post-treatment, and 6-month follow-up.

Main Results:

Significant improvements were observed in self-reported AD symptoms (p = .020) and general anxiety (p = .005) from baseline to post-treatment.
No significant improvements were noted for depression or quality of life.
High treatment satisfaction was reported, with 67% of participants completing the program.

Conclusions:

Exposure-based CBT is a feasible and acceptable treatment for adult atopic dermatitis.
The treatment demonstrates potential efficacy in improving AD symptoms and associated anxiety.
