The author discusses a technique for eliciting and challenging dysfunctional beliefs, based on the idea that such beliefs seem to have their source in an inferred internal agency known as the inner critic. Various conceptions of the inner critic are listed. An adaptation of the empty chair technique is described, which the clinician can use to elicit the inner critic’s voice as a phenomenological reality that issues dysfunctional messages, which, when accepted by the person, become dysfunctional beliefs. Once the messages are verbally expressed, they can be disputed and countered using cognitive-behavioral methods.

The article provides a review of foreign research on the topic of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It presents a definition, symptoms of PTSD; identifies PTSD risk factors and group types; defines diagnostic criteria for PTSD diagnosis; reviews existing diagnostic instruments and therapy methods used to work with people who suffered from PTSD.

The authors of the work particularly focus their attention on presenting the cognitive-behavioral approach, which is used widely in therapies for individuals with PTSD. They review the theories and concept models as the basis for cognitive-behavioral therapy; identify valid diagnostic tools such interviews and self-reports frequently used for the diagnosis of PTSD; describe cognitive-behavioral methods and techniques; present the basic structure for the therapeutic programs. As pointed by the authors of the article, the effectiveness of the cognitive –behavioral approach as shown by vary theoretical and experimental researches prove validity and reliability of cognitive-behavioral methods as well as their successful implementation in therapeutic work with people with PTSD.

Abstract AimsHelsinki University Hospital for Children and Adolescents treats 0-to 16-year old pediatric and surgical patients. The patients arrive to the emergency unit by ambulance, referral or by decision of the triage nurse. The most common reason for visit is pain. VAS pain scale should be used, but pain is not evaluated properly. The aim of this study was to review literature on evaluation and treatment of pain in pediatric emergency unit. MethodsA search from Cinahl and Finnish Medic-database covering last 10 years was performed using: pain, child, trauma, documentation, evaluation, emergency and assessment as keywords. ResultsMultiple pain scales are used in pediatric emergency units. A scale possibly useful for us is the CEM, College of Emergency Medicine tool. Non-medical procedural pain treatment: physical methods (e.g. cold, warm, massage), emotional support and cognitive-behavioral methods (e.g. relaxation, mental imagery and information) was found to be as useful in children. The aim of cognitive-behavioral methods is to decrease fear, stress and pain and improve self-determination. Non-medical treatment was found to be cost efficient and decrease the need of analgesics. It was also found that a child in pain should be raised in triage. Educated staff usually means that children get pain medication quicker. ConclusionsResearch on the effects of systematic use of a pain scales on pain treatment, pain and fear in pediatric patients would be interesting
