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...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Humanistic Therapy01:24

Humanistic Therapy

90
Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential. Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Humanistic therapies differ from psychodynamic approaches by focusing on conscious experiences, present circumstances, and the potential for self-improvement rather than past conflicts...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Limited scoping reviews exist on group therapy models for suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
  • Existing research often focuses on individual interventions rather than group modalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of group therapies explicitly targeting suicidal thoughts and behaviors (suicide-focused) in adults.
  • To summarize suicide-related outcomes associated with these group therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO for relevant records (2000-2021).
  • Followed PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines.
  • Included a review of reference lists from identified relevant records.

Main Results:

  • Identified 14 records detailing 12 unique suicide-focused group therapies.
  • All identified therapies demonstrated reductions in suicide-related outcomes by therapy completion.
  • Methodological designs and sample sizes varied significantly across studies.

Conclusions:

  • Few evaluated group therapy interventions specifically address suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
  • Suicide-focused group therapy appears feasible, acceptable, and potentially effective in reducing suicide-related outcomes.
  • Further research, including randomized controlled trials, is recommended to establish efficacy.
