Objective: Traumatic childbirth may expose mothers to physical and psychological postpartum disorders. The reduced rate of exclusive breast feeding is an essential consequence of this problem. The goal of this study was to see if dialectical behavioral therapy could help with the onset and duration of exclusive breast feeding after a traumatic delivery. Method : This clinical trial study included, 210 primiparous women with traumatic vaginal births were admitted to Bahar hospital in Shahroud. A standard protocol was designed and administered. The group allocation imbalance happened by chance and was averted by utilizing block randomization with a size of four and sequentially numbering the intervention or control groups with a sealed concealed envelope Participants in the intervention group had one individual session and four group counseling sessions by the researcher, while the control group participants obtained a routine care. Breast feeding self-efficacy was measured using a related questionnaire before the intervention, six and 12 weeks postpartum. Exclusive breast feeding was determined using a related form at the end of each month until the fourth month. Results: The outcome of repeated measure ANOVA Before the intervention, based on the greenhouse geisser test indicated no statistically significant difference in breast feeding self-efficacy (P = 0.07) or infant weight between the two groups. (P = 0.98). Nevertheless, a statistically significant difference between the mean score of breast feeding self-efficacy and infant's weight was discovered by a post hoc test utilizing the Bonferroni correction, (P = 0.001) between the two groups after the intervention. Therefore, in the intervention group, the level of exclusive breast feeding was higher than in the control group, and four months after birth, more infants in the intervention group were exclusively breastfed (58% vs 32%) (P < 0.001). The analysis of data using the GEE model showed that the odds of adherence to exclusive breast feeding in the intervention group were 3.4 (0.95 CI: 2.04-5.7). Conclusion: Dialectical behavior therapy is a powerful tool for minimizing the negative features of traumatic childbirth and increase the success of breast feeding mothers. Therefore, it can be used as a supportive method for mothers.

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Behavior Therapy01:22

Behavior Therapy

Behavior therapy incorporates diverse techniques rooted in classical conditioning principles to address maladaptive behaviors and anxiety disorders. These methods aim to reduce avoidance behaviors, foster adaptive coping mechanisms, and alter associations between stimuli and responses, making them effective in a wide range of therapeutic contexts.
Exposure therapy is a cornerstone of behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders. It involves systematic exposure to feared stimuli, either in real...

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...

Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Behavior Modification

Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.
A real-world application of operant conditioning principles is applied...
