Escape Behaviors

Therapeutic strategies described as effective for anxiety disorders include behavioral and cognitive-behavioral procedures of exposure and coping of aversive situations. However, considering that the behavioral pattern common in anxiety disorders is the phobic avoidance, the application of these strategies may difficult the adhesion or promote escape and avoidance of the therapeutic process. The Functional Analytic Psychotherapy is an alternative for dealing with these avoidance/escape behaviors and it can promote coping responses. This case report describes an analysis of the therapeutic relationship of a client with Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia. The intervention based on FAP was considered to help dealing with the avoidance behavior in the therapeutic process. Results show the efficacy of the procedures adopted and confirm the possibility of using FAP for improving the effectiveness of the empirically based psychotherapies.

Current research suggests that ketamine-assisted psychotherapy has benefit for the treatment of mental disorders. We report on the results of ketamine-assisted intensive outpatient psychotherapeutic treatment of a client with treatment-resistant, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of experiences of racism and childhood sexual abuse. The client’s presenting symptoms included hypervigilance, social avoidance, feelings of hopelessness, and intense recollections. These symptoms impacted all areas of daily functioning. Psychoeducation was provided on how untreated intergenerational trauma, compounded by additional traumatic experiences, potentiated the client’s experience of PTSD and subsequent maladaptive coping mechanisms. Ketamine was administered four times over a 13-day span as an off-label, adjunct to psychotherapy. Therapeutic interventions and orientations utilized were mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP). New skills were obtained in helping the client respond effectively to negative self-talk, catastrophic thinking, and feelings of helplessness. Treatment led to a significant reduction in symptoms after completion of the program, with gains maintained 4 months post-treatment. This case study demonstrates the effective use of ketamine as an adjunct to psychotherapy in treatment-resistant PTSD.
