Cognitive Psychotherapy

“The therapist can cite Bertrand Russell's observation that the degree of certainty with which one holds a belief is inversely related to the truth of that belief. Fanatics are true believers, scientists are sceptics”. (Beck et al, 1979)I propose to describe the evolution of behavioural treatments, and the more recent leap forward made by cognitive therapy. Exciting new treatments are now available that did not exist when I was a trainee. The accepted term for these treatments is “behavioural-cognitive psychotherapy’ (BCPT). They are behavioural in the sense that emphasis is on observable behaviour, e.g. avoidance of supermarkets in agoraphobia. They are cognitive because many approaches involve working with patients' thoughts, e.g. the negative thinking of depressed patients. The treatment is psychotherapy as it is therapy that works at the mind level, rather than at say the synaptic level as pharmacotherapy does. BCPT combines well with pharmacotherapy, and other therapeutic methods such as social therapy, and so is suitable for a multidisciplinary approach to a psychiatric problem, as well as offering specific techniques for identified disorders.

Day By Day

New contributions to the development of health care give a different look to the place of the patient. It appears that the outcome of medical treatments may depend of the specific medical and physiological condition of the patient and even other kind of conditions outside the patient may contribute to the results of the whole of medical treatment. New entities as effectiveness, participation of the patient, ethics, technics, digitization, multidisciplinary approach of research and consultation, deliver a total different look to the way as to how health care has to be secured. New specializations in medical law, medical management, tend to be developed day by day. New specializations of medicine will bring more effectiveness in using medical procedures. For example, translational medicine tends to find the best effective way of setting up new treatments, new scientific investigations. The introduction of personalized, predictive and preventive medicine, the translational medicine and precision medicine will enhance the implementation of scientific findings. Every contribution in this development has to consider the effect to the result in the health care system. The importance of the condition of the patient remains always the leading motive.

Cognitive Psychotherapy

We performed a survey to examine the behavioural–cognitive psychotherapy teaching and experience of trainee psychiatrists in the South Thames (West) Region. Sixty-four per cent of the whole sample who responded to the survey, including 90% of the registrars who responded, had treated at least one patient using behavioural cognitive methods. Few trainees reported no experience of behavioural cognitive psychotherapy with almost all attending some form of teaching. Trainees generally reported that they valued this experience.

Cognitive Psychotherapy

We conducted a survey of the psychotherapy training of a national sample of successful MRCPsych candidates to discover the extent of their psychotherapy training and their opinion about its adequacy. Ninety doctors answered the survey. Overall 71% of trainees had clinical experience in behavioural–cognitive psychotherapy and 78% in psychodynamic psychotherapy with fewer gaining experience in group and family psychotherapies. The majority of trainees were dissatisfied with the extent of their behavioural-cognitive psychotherapy training (82%) and psychodynamic training (50%). Trainees felt that their psychotherapy training was an important component of their psychiatric training.

There is an ongoing and obvious problem of reintegrating war veterans into family, community, and society. A selective review of the supporting literature provides a foundation for the offered solution: “dignity for the enemy” (DFTE). DFTE is a method for retraining the mind to be calm, transforming the perception of who the enemy is, and thereby altering the combat veteran’s negative thinking and behavior. The DFTE practice is based on ancient sources and is offered as a specific solution to some difficult combat veteran reintegration issues generally related to violence. The “DFTE” practice emerges from the combination of the “enemy to friend spectrum” and the “elements of dignity.” The enemy to friend spectrum allows the combat veteran to identify feelings toward pertinent relationships. The elements provide choices of appropriate higher attitude(s) or emotions toward identified groups of people along the spectrum from negative to positive, enemy to friend. Through the application of the practice, relationships are transformed. Positive changes in relationships can reduce agitation, anger, and lower a heightened sense of danger. The result for the combat veteran is calmness and for the enemy is dignity. With calmness comes a reduction in violent and abusive behavior.

The Mind

Sex is, without a doubt, an experience for the senses and, as such, it is fundamentally an experience for the "here and now". Human sexuality is a natural and poignant experience. Although they may be accentuated by words, the vitality and depth of feelings provided by sexual contact are expressed through immediate sensory experience. Despite this, few people know how to create the satisfying and rewarding sexual experiences they desire. Since sex is essentially a present and undoubtedly a sensual experience, the most important change in internal processes involves paying attention to the sensations. This review aims to show how essential it is to have a careful attention of the patient as a whole, requiring a systemic look at him through a multidisciplinary approach, seeing the individual. Additionally, it will be shown the sexual dysfunction, as a psychosomatic being, integrating the physical and psychological evaluation, seeking data on the sexual life of the patient, relevant to the treatment of his dysfunction. The use of such approach facilitates the obtaining of unconscious information, brought through an extremely careful interview to raise the individual internal processes; understand attitudes, external behaviors, subjective states, representative systems and beliefs, in addition to a thorough observation of the ocular access tracks of the patient with erectile dysfunction, where incongruities may arise that could otherwise be disregarded and hinder the proper treatment of the patient. All this will allow a more complete understanding of his physiological response and will facilitate the reconnection of the individual to his natural process of sexual response.

AbstractThe target article by Boyer & Petersen (B&P) contributes a vital message: that people have folk economic theories that shape their thoughts and behavior in the marketplace. This message is all the more important because, in the history of economic thought, Homo economicus was increasingly stripped of mental capacities. Intuitive theories can help restore the mind of Homo economicus.

The Individual

Individuals with Rett syndrome (RS) present with a complex profile. They benefit from a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. In our clinic, the Communication Matrix © (Rowland, 1990/1996/2004) is used to collect data about the communication skills and modalities used by those with RS across the lifespan. Preliminary analysis of this data supports the expected changes in communication behaviors as the individual with RS ages and motor deficits have a greater impact.
