_Thinking
Thinking is a general term that refers to all conscious mental activity, whether it is acquiring new knowledge, remembering, planning ahead, or daydreaming. We are still far from understanding exactly how the brain
produces thought, it is clear that thought exists as patterns of neural activity from a biological level of analysis. At the psychological level, thinking may seem to be internal language of the mind somewhat like it actually includes several mental activities. Thinking involves the manipulation of two forms of mental representations: propositions and concepts.
Analysis
Inner speech 
Much of our thinking occurs in the form of propositions, statements that express ideas. All propositions consist of concepts combined in a particular way. For example, 'university students are intelligent peopleis a proposition in which the two concepts ' university studentsand intelligent people are linked by the verb are. Concepts are basic units of semantic memory-mental categories into which we place objects, activities, abstractions and events that have essential features in common. Every psychological term we are learning in this book is a concept.
 EXPress
 Semantic
Concepts can be acquired through explicit instruction or through our own observations of similarities and differences among various objects and events. Many concepts are difficult to define exactly. Is an eagle a bird Is
a penguin a bird Is a bat a bird According to the prototype view, the most typical and familiar members of a category or class, you should have come to a quicker decision on the first question than on the last to. Why
Because an eagle fits most people's 'bird' prototype better than does a penguin (which is a bird, though it lacks some essential prototypic features, such as the ability to fly) or a bat (which is not a bird, even though it flies).
Instruction
Eagle 
 Penguin
Bat
One aspect of intelligent thinking is the ability to reason and think logically. Such thinking helps us acquire knowledge, make sound decisions and solve problems. Reasoning helps us avoid the hazards and time consuming efforts of trail and error. Most of the time, people solve problems by developing solutions in their minds before applying them in the external world. Deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning are two types of reasoning underlie many of our attempts to make decisions and solve problems. In deductive reasoning, we reason from the top down, that is, from general principles to a conclusion about a specific case.
 Avoid
  Trail
General principle 
When people deductively, they begin with a set of premises (propositions assumed to be true) and determine what the promises imply about a specific situation. Deductive reasoning is the basis of formal mathematics and logic. For example, if all humans are mortal (first premise), and if Socrates is a human (second premise), then Socrates must be mortal (conclusion). However, in inductive reasoning, we reason from the bottom
9up, starting with specific facts and trying to develop a general principle, Scientists use induction when they discover general principles, or laws, as of observing a number of specific instances of phenomenon.
Deductively

After Ivan Pavlov observed repeatedly that the dogs in his laboratory began to salivate when approached by the experimenter who fed them, he began to think in terms of a general principle that eventually became the
foundation of classical conditioning (repeated conditioned stimulus - unconditioned stimulus pairings produce a conditioned response).
 Salivate 
 Feed
Eventually 
 Foundation 
 Pairing  
An important difference between deductive and inductive reasoning lies in the certainty of the results. Deductive conclusions are certain to be true if the premises are true, but inductive reasoning leads to likelihood rather
than certainty.
The ability to reason effectively is a key factor in critical thinking, in making sound decisions, and in solving problems. Unfortunately, several factors may prevent us from selecting the information needed to draw sound conclusions.
Unfortunately 
 Several 
One of these factors is distraction by irrelevant information. People often fail to solve problems because they simply do not focus on the relevant information. Instead, they take into account irrelevant information that leads them astray. One of the other factors is confirmation bias.
Confirmation bias is the tendency to selectively attend to information that support one's general beliefs while ignoring information or evidence that contradicts one's beliefs. Reasoning can be affected by the particular way that information is presented to us, or Framing refers to the idea that the same information, problem or options can be structured and presented in different ways.

 Tendency 
For example, in one classic study, college students who were told that a cancer treatment had a 50 per cent success rate judged the treatment to be significantly more effective and expressed a greater willingness to have it
administered to a family member than did participants who were told that the treatment had a 50 per cent failure rate. In conclusion, thinking is a broad term that refers to how we use knowledge to analyze situations, solve problems, and make decisions. In next chapters we describe these cognitive abilities.

Creativity
Creative thinking entails unique cognitive processes. Psychologists who
study the cognitive aspects of creative thought have focused on visual
thinking, fluency, flexibility, and originality. Visual imagery occurs when
we see a solution in our “mind’s eye.” Many scientists, artists, and writers
solve problems by using creative mental images. Finsterin, for example,
often visualized a situation, such as riding in an elevator traveling at the
speed of light.

Artists / ) /(

Cognitive psychologists display images of letters or geometric shapes and
ask participants to combine some of them in a creative way. The ability to
produce many ideas is central to creative thought. This ability is termed
ideational fluency. Highly creative people usually come up with more ideas
for a given problem than less creative people do. For example, participants
are given a common object such as a brick or a pencil and asked to write
down all the possible uses they can think of for the object within a limited
amount of time.

Creative thinking occurs when a person combines all three cognitive
processes at once- fluency, flexibility, and originality. A creative person
can also come up with many different categories of ideas and think of other
responses besides the obvious one. This ability is called flexibility of
thought. In the Alternate Uses test, flexibility of thought is gauged by the
number of categories of response a person offers. For instance, if all the
answers for the uses of a brick involve building something, the person is
not displaying flexible thinking but remaining within one rather obvious
category.

A third cognitive process involved in creative thought is originality, which
means thinking of unusual and novel ideas. In the Alternate Uses test, the
test originality is scored by comparing his or her responses to a set

who have taken the test previously. A person’s answer is scored as original

Problem Solving
None of us goes through a day without having to solve a problem, because
every time we face a task that we do not know how to carry out, we are
confronted with a problem. The challenges we face in our everyday lives
require us to engage in thinking. Thinking takes many forms. Two of the
most important forms are problem solving and decision making.

Psychologists have examined how people go about solving problems, often
by presenting research participants with problems and studying how they
solve them. Take a few minutes to work on each of the following
problems. Some are easy and others not so easy but give them a try.
.
.
Problem solving is a cognitive processing directed at transforming a given
situation into a goal situation when no obvious method of solution is
available to the problem solver. Problem solving proceeds through several
steps : (1) understanding the nature of the problem, (2) establishing initial
hypotheses or potential solutions, (3) testing the solutions against existing
evidence, and (4) evaluating the results of these its.

 -  /( - (./ /( Proceed People use different kinds of strategies to solve problems. Heuristics are general problem-solving strategies that we apply to certain classes of situations. Means-ends analysis is one example of a heuristic. In means- ends analysis, we identify differences between the present situation and the desired state, or goal, and then make changes that will reduce these differences. Another important heuristic is hill climbing. Hill climbing involves changing the present state within the problem into one that is closer to the goal or problem solution. . - . - . 38
.
.
.
Heuristics have the advantage that they don't require extensive information
processing. However, they suffer from the disadvantage that they aren't
guaranteed to produce the problem solution. In contrast to heuristics,
algorithms are formulas or procedures that automatically generate correct
solutions. Mathematical and chemical formulas are algorithms. For
example, the formula used to convert temperatures from Celsius to
Fahrenheit (multiply C by 9/5, then add 32) is an algorithm. Algorithms
have the advantage that you are guaranteed to solve the problem if they are
used correctly.

However, they have the disadvantage that we often lack the processing
capacity to use them properly. Not all solutions involve algorithms. Some
occur with a flash of insight. One of the best-known examples of insight
occurred in ancient Greece, when the philosopher-scientist Archimedes
solved the problem of how to determine whether a crown contained
anything besides gold. The solution came to him in a flash when he saw the
water level rise as he entered the public baths.

People use different kinds of strategies to solve problems. Some of the
common obstacles we face in solving all kinds of problems are fixation, or
inability to break out of a particular mindset in order to think about a
problem from a fresh perspective and functional fixedness, which is the
tendency to be blind to unusual uses of common everyday things or
procedures.

Decision Making
Life is full (sometimes too full!) of decisions. Which movie will go to see
tonight Would rather go with Ali or Javad Which subject will I study at
university Who will I share an apartment with next year Barry Schwarts,
52
an American expert on decision making, believes we live in a society in
which decision making is rapidly becoming more difficult because of an
explosion in the choices available to us.

( / Rapidly 
How do we decide how good a decision is That sounds like a strange
question, but it has important implications. Most people argue that what
really matters is the outcome-did the decision lead to the desired
consequences However, many experts argue that most decisions are like
gambling in that they are made under uncertainty. All of us strive to
achieve (e.g., emotional; financial; academic success) while avoiding
losses. You would probably argue that we make decisions so as to
maximize the chances of making a gain and minimize the chances of
making a loss.

 ( /  Strange I
/ Gain 
When people make decisions, they attach more weight to lowprobability
events than they merit according to their actual probability of occurrence.
53In contrast, high probability events receive less weight than they deserve.
This helps to explain the human tendency for risk seeking with gains (e.g.,
gambling on remote events such as winning a fortune on the lottery) and
for risk avoidance with losses (e.g., buying insurance).

  /) Contrast / (cu
Prospect theory can be contrasted with previous theoretical views based on
the notion of “rational man” (or “rational person”). According to this
approach, we work systematically through the available evidence and make
the decision most likely to produce a desirable outcome. This notion is
found in normative theories, which focus on how people should make
decision rather than on how they actually make them.
» . . . So far we have mainly considered decision making applied to fairly simple
problems. In real life, however, we sometimes have to make very complex
decisions (e.g., Shall I marry John) Shall I move to Australia). How do
we approach such decisions According to multi- attribute utility theory
(Wright, 1984), the decision maker should go through the following stages:
tr Sd . AE ( LT ) UT)
: ) 1488 ( . ( 
1. Identity dimensions relevant to the decision.

Needs, drives, and incentives all contribute to motivation. Needs
are states of cellular or bodily deficiency that compel drives. They are
inherently biological. Examples include the needs for water, food, and
oxygen. Drives are the perceived states of tension that occur when our
bodies are deficient in some need. Such a deficiency creates a drive (thirst
or hunger) to alleviate the state- to drink or eat. » SS . .

An incentive is any external object or event that motivates behavior. In
general, drives come from the body, whereas incentives come from the
environment. For some people, money is a primary incentive, but for others
winning a gold medal at the Olympics or getting college diploma might be
the main incentive behind their training or studying. Psychologists propose
many models, or explanations, for motivation. Some models of motivation
focus more on internal drives, some more on external incentives, and
others on both. Let's look at some motivational models.

Other psychologists argue that when our physiological systems are out of
balance or depleted, we are driven to reduce this depleted state. That's
what drive is-the perceived internal state of tension that
arises when our bodies are lacking in some basic physiological capacity. Central to drive reduction is the idea of maintaining physiological balance,
or homeostasis.

Another model of motivation proposes that we function best at an “optimal level of arousal.” The optimal arousal model of motivation argues that humans are motivated to be in situations that are neither too stimulating nor not stimulating enough. We know this, for instance, from research on
sensory deprivation. Sensorydeprivation research involves having a person lie down on a bed or ina sensory deprivation tank. Classic research from

A more recent humanistic theory of motivation has been advanced by
Edward Deci and Richard Ryan. Self-determination theory focuses on three
fundamental psychological needs: competence, autonomy and relatedness.
People are most fulfilled in their lives when they are able to satisfy these
fundamental needs. Competence motivation reflects a human need to
master new challenges and to perfect skills. This need motivates much
exploratory and growth-including human behavior. . . »

Emotions have important adaptive functions. Some emotions, such as fear and alarm, are part of an emergency arousal system that increases our
chances of survival, as when we fight or flee when confronted by threat or danger. But positive emotions, such as interest, joy, excitement, contentment and love, also have important adaptive functions. They help us form intimate relationships and broaden our thinking and behavior so that
we explore, consider new ideas, try out new ways to achieve goals, play and savour what we have. . »

Positive emotions are an important part of life satisfaction, and negative

Our emotional states share four common features: . . . :

Emotions do not occur in
a vacuum. They are responses to situations,

stimuli have the greatest potential to arouse emotions. Newborn infants
come equipped with the capacity to respond emotionally with either

107The first theory of emotion was put forward independently by William James in the United States and Carl Lange in Denmark. This could explain why the theory is generally known as the James-Lange theory. According to this theory, three successive stages are involved in producing emotion: . BY - . »
.
1. There is an emotional stimulus (e.g., a car comes rapidly towards you as
you cross the road).
)  ( »
)
2. This produces bodily changes (e.g., arousal in the autonomic nervous
system).
» )4 ) )
3. Feedback from the bodily changes leads to the experience of emotion
(e.g., fear or anxiety).
”4 ) (   (
Schachter and Singer (1962) started the modern era in emotion research
with its emphasis on cognitive factors. According to their
arousal-interpretation theory, the experience of emotion depends on two factors both of which must be present: - :
.1 High physiological arousal.
)
2.An emotional interpretation of that arousal.
¥(
They argued that very similar states of physiological arousal are associated
with every emotion. We experience fear, anger, or whatever, because of the specific way in which the arousal is interpreted. The theory predicts that no
108
emotion will be experienced if either high physiological arousal or an
emotional interpretation 5

Another theory is appraisal theory. According to Lazarus re
i i i itive appraisal, erience is crucially dependent on cognitive a v
of the current situation. Cognitive appraisal can be
subdivided into three more specific forms of appraisal: wm 5 :  .

Primary appraisal: the situation is perceived as being positive, stressful, or

This approach was developed by Smith and Lazarus (1993) to account for
our experience of different emotions. For example, anger, anxiety, and
sadness all possess the primary appraisal components of motivational
relevance. However, they differ in terms of secondary appraisal
components. Anxiety involves low or uncertain emotion— focused coping
potential and sadness involves low future expectancy for change.

Stress and Coping
 )  (
It has often been said that ours is the “age of stress.” It is probably true that
more people than ever report being highly stressed. Stress is “the
psychological and physical strain or tension generated by physical,
emotional, social, economic, or occupational circumstances, events, or
experiences that are difficult to manage or endure.” wh)

Stress has different meanings in different contexts. Stress can be external to
us. We can think of stress as something that happens to usthat is, as
situations that push us to the limit or threaten our safety or well being. We
call these events that push us to the limit or exceed our ability to manage
the situation at hand stressors. The focus on the
situations that cause stress is known as the stimulus view of stress.

127In contrast, stress can be internal to us; we can think of it as the feeling we experience when events are too much to handle. The response view of stress has focused on the physiological changes that occur when someone
encounters an excessively challenging situation.
.
.
Excessively / )
Clearly stress is much more than being in certain situations and it is much
more than physiological responses. It exists within the relationship between the external events and the internal responses.
. . Stress emerges from people’s interpretations of the relevance of certain stressors to their lives and their ability to deal with them. This relational view of stress holds that stress is a particular relationship between the people and the situations in which they find themselves.

In contrast, emotion-focused coping aims to regulate the experience of distress. Lazarus and Folkman describe several forms of emotion-focused
coping, including reappraisal, the emotional regulation strategy of reevaluation of a situation in light of new information or additional
thought; distancing, or attempting to separate oneself from an emotional
experience; escape-avoidance, wishful thinking or doing something to get
one’s mind off the situation (such as going to the movies); seeking social support by talking with friends for purposes of emotional support; self- control, or trying to regulate one’s feelings or actions regarding the problem; and accepting responsibility, acknowledging one’s role in the stresseliciting situation.

and makes us unique. Second, personality is relatively enduring, or
consistent. Let’s consider these key components in more detail.

The study of personality has been guided by a number of perspectives;
notably, the psychodynamic, humanistic, biological, behavioral, cognitive
and socio-cultural perspectives.

Undoubtedly the most famous of all psychologists is Sigmund Freud
(1856-1939). Freud not only proposed an overarching theory of personality
and psychotherapy but also founded the movement known as
psychoanalysis and in the process of doing so essentially invented the field
of psychotherapy. . OT

The starting point for theory of psychoanalysis is the idea that the
unconscious is the most powerful force in our personality.
Freud described three layers of consciousness:
and conscious. The conscious layer is simply what we are it]

According to Freud, the unconscious contains all the drives, urges, Or
instincts that are outside awareness but nonetheless motivate most of
speech, thoughts, feelings, or actions. Before Freud, most people assume:
that what we consciously think, feel, and believe is a relatively
and important source of information for explaining our behavior an
personality. Freud believed that much of what we do and the reasons ie
we do it are hidden from our awareness and revealed to us only in distort
forms, such as slips of the tongue and dreams. dl

A second major perspective i on cctiv plaining personality comes from
a humanistic approach, which is optimistic about human nature, believing that humans are naturally interested in realizing their full potential. Humanists argue that psycholo gy needs to study humans

Rogers developed
a unique form of psychotherapy based on the assumption that people naturally strive toward 20] ral growth and fulfillment unconditional positive regard for that to happen. Unconditional positive regard is the ability to respect and appreciate another person unconditionally- that is, regardless of their behavior.

A third major category of personality theory is based on the social

a hostile person may be less

a child) than in
another (for example, being cut off in traffic).

A fourth general perspective that explains personality is the trait
approach, which assumes that traits or dispositions are the major force
behind personality. Personality researchers proposed five universal and
widely dimensions of personality. This perspective is known as the Big
Five or five-factor model; the five dimensions are openness to experience,
conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. These
traits are normally distributed in the population, with most people falling
somewhere between the two extremes on each trait,

Health Psychology
Health psychology addresses factors that influence well-being and illness,
as well as measures that can be taken to promote health and
prevent illness. It therefore confronts many of the leading problems of our
times. For example, because stress has negative effects on both physical
and psychological well-being, the study of stress and coping is a central
focus of health psychology. Pain is another important topic because itis a
central feature of many illnesses and a major stressor. . . »

Health psychologists explore factors that influence pain perceptions and
develop psychological interventions to reduce people’s suffering. Health
psychology includes disease onset, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation
and involves clinical practice as well as research. Health psychology
ranges from studies of how psychological variables enhance health or
increase susceptibility to disease.

Unal, Critchley, Fidan, and Capewell (2005) estimated that the number of people in England and Wales dying from heart disease was 68, 230 fewer in 2000 than in 1981. This reduction produced a gain of about 925,415 life
years, There are two main ways in which we might explain this reduction in mortality from heart disease. First, and most obviously, there have been substantial advances in medicine. These advances include the development of more precise and effective surgical interventions, increased use of aspirin to prevent heart attacks, and treatment for hypertension. Second, there are changes in lifestyle. Some of these changes are clearly beneficial (e.g., reduction in smoking), but others have adverse effects (e.g., increased obesity; decreased physical activity).

Psychological Disorders
It is more difficult than you might imagine deciding whether a given individual is abnormal or suffers from a mental disorder. Why is that The central problem is that concepts such as “abnormality” and “mental disorder” are vague. As Lilienfeld and Marino (1999) pointed out, the concept of “mental disorder” has fuzzy boundaries, so that “there is
no... set of criteria in nature that can be used to definitively distinguish all
cases of disorder from all cases of nondisorder”.

One reason we cannot be precise about these issues is because they depend
in part on the prevailing social norms and values. For example, consider
changing views about homosexuality as reflected in a major classificatory
system known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM). In DSM-II, published in 1968, homosexuality was
classified as a mental disorder involving sexual deviation. By 1987, with
the publication of DSM-III-R (the revised third edition), only homosexuals
having persistent and marked distress about their sexual orientation” were
regarded as having a disorder.

Most psychologists agree on three criteria that distinguish disordered from
healthy, or just different, behavior: It must be deviant, distressing, and
dysfunctional. Deviant literally means “different from the norm,” or
different from what most people do. This criterion allows for the fact that
behavior which is considered deviant in one culture might be considered
normal in others. Distressing behavior leads to real discomfort or anguish.
The distressing element is one reason we say a person is “suffering” from a
181disorder. It causes pain to the person and/or other people, especially family
members.

Dysfunctional behavior interferes with everyday functioning and
occasionally can be a risk to oneself or others. Dysfunctional also implies it
prevents one from participating in everyday social relationships, holding a
regular job, or being productive in other ways.

How do mental health professionals determine whether someone is
suffering from a psychological disorder A major tool for diagnosing
psychological disorders is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)
published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Beginning with
the third edition and continuing in the fourth edition, the DSM-IV-TR (for
182
“Text Revision”; APA, 2002), the DSM places disorders in one of two
diagnostic classifications, or axes. Axis I disorders are the major clinical
syndromes, or clusters of related symptoms that cause significant
impairment: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
These disorders tend to develop after adolescence, can wax and wane, and
are not always permanent.
Axis II disorders include personality disorders and mental retardation,
which tend to appear in childhood or adolescence and cannot be cured.

The DSM-IV-TR includes three additional axes, which list medical
conditions and environmental factors that may contribute to an
psychological state or affect treatment. Although DSM-IV-TR describes
more than 250 Axis I disorders, some of the most common disorders are
anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders. dissociative disorders, mood
disorders, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, eating disorders,
sleep disorders, adjustment disorders and so on.

Personality Disorders
Personality consists of an individuals unique, long-term behavior patterns.
Personality disorders are maladaptive and inflexible patterns of cognition,
emotion, and behavior that generally develop in late childhood or
adolescence and continue into adulthood; they are more stable than clinical
disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder.

The distinction between clinical and personality disorders is somewhat
arbitrary, however, and many people with personality disorders also suffer
from clinical disorders. The DSM places the personality disorders on Axis
11, meaning they are relatively permanent, may show up in childhood, and
are viewed by the person as consistent with their personality and therefore
do not cause much subjective distress. There are three distinct clusters of
199personality disorders: odd-eccentric, dramatic-cmotional, and anxious- fearful.

Psychological Treatments
 ( ( 
The basic goal of all psychotherapy, whatever the approach, is to help
people change maladaptive thoughts, feelings and behavior patterns so that
they can live happier and more productive lives. As the remarks of the
‘recovering patient’ suggest, the relationship between the client and the
person providing help is a prime ingredient of psychotherapeutic success.
Within that helping relationship, therapists use a variety of treatment
techniques to promote positive changes in the client. These techniques vary
widely; depending on the therapists’ own theories of cause and change, and
they may range from biomedical approaches (such as administering
psychoactive drugs) to a wide variety of psychological treatments.

There are several types of psychotherapeutic approaches: psychodynamic, humanistic, behavioral, cognitive, and cognitivebehavioral. Each type of psychotherapy has its own explanation of what causes different disorders
as well as how they should be treated.

/ Psychodynamic / )
Inspired by Freudian theory, psychodynamic psychotherapy aims to uncover unconscious motives that underlie psychological problems. The relationship between therapist and client in psychodynamic psychotherapy is that of a supportive partnership, in which the therapist listens to the client in a nonjudgmental manner. The therapist’s roles is to help the client gain insight into the unconscious
influences, the therapist may use techniques such as free association
216
or examine processes that might reveal unconscious motives, such as a
transference and repression.

One of Sigmund 10005 major contributions to psychology was
his argument that “dreams are the royal road to the unconscious”.
Freud’s two major techniques for interpreting dreams in order touncover
their unconscious content were free association and symbols. In free
association, the client recounts the dream and then takes one image or idea
and says whatever comes to mind, regardless of how threatening,
disgusting, or troubling it may be. After this has been done with the first
image, the process is repeated until the client has made associations with
all the recalled dream images.

217The second technique for interpreting dreams is through symbols; that is, dream images are thought of as representing or being symbolic of something else. The patient becomes aware of the disturbing thoughts in her or his unconscious and the problematic symptoms decrease,

In the process of transference, the client reacts to someone in current relationship as though that person were someone from the
While past. the client is in therapy, that person is the therapist, but it can be
anyone in the present life circumstance. For example, a woman whose father was verbally abusive to her might find herself shirking her Job responsibilities because she experiences
extreme fear when her older male supervisor at work speaks with even a slightly raised voice. The supervisor thinks this is an overreaction, but he does not realize that the woman’s response stems from her relating to him as if he were her father.

Humanistic Psychotherapies
  Olaf 
In contrast to psychodynamic theorists, who view behavior as a product of
unconscious processes, humanistic theorists view humans as capable of consciously controlling their actions and taking responsibility for their
choices and behavior. These theorists also believe that everyone possesses
inner resources for self-healing and
personal growth, and that disordered behavior reflects a blocking of
the natural growth process.

In contrast to classical psychoanalytic therapy, humanistic approaches
focus primarily on the present and future instead of the
past. The best- known and most widely used humanistic therapy is the
client- centered (now sometimes called person- centered) approach
developed by Carl Rogers. Rogers began to depart from psychoanalytic
methods. He became convinced that the important active ingredient in
therapy is the relationship that develops between client and therapist, and
he began to focus his attention on the kind of therapeutic environment that
seemed most effective in fostering selfexploration and personal growth.
Rogers's research and experiences as a therapist identified three important
and interrelated therapist attributes:
.
. .:
/)  ( / Future
)/   - ( / Depart
 )/ ( / Interrelated
1. Unconditional positive regard is communicated when the therapist
shows that he or she genuinely cares about and accepts the client, without
judgment or evaluation. The therapist also communicates a sense of trust in
the client's ability to work through his or her problems. ) 
AS
.
2. Empathy, the willingness and ability to view the world through the
client’s eyes, is a second vital factor. In a good therapeutic relationship, the
229therapist comes to sense the feeling and meanings experienced by the client
and communicate this understanding to the client. The therapist does this
by reflecting back to the client what she or he is communicating-perhaps
by rephrasing something the client has just said in a way that captures the
meaning and emotion involved.
(Y » . . . Willingness / /
) /( Vital /
3. Genuineness refers to consistency between the ways the therapist feels
and the way her or she behaves. The therapist must be open enough to
express his or her own feelings honestly, whether positive or negative. In
the case of negative feelings, this may scem to be contradictory to the
attribute of unconditional positive regard, but that is not necessarily the
case.
© (  . 
 .  
 )/  ( / Consistency
Rogers believed that when therapists can express these three key
therapeutic attributes, they create a climate in which the client feels
accepted, understood, and free to explore basic attitudes and feelings
without fear of being judged or rejected. Within such a climate, the client
experiences the courage and freedom to grow. In sum, humanistic therapies
seek to help the client reach his or her greatest potential.

Cognitive Therapies
Many behavior disorders, including anxiety, mood and schizophrenic
240
disorders, involve maladaptive ways of thinking about oneself and the
world. Cognitive approaches to psychotherapy focus on the role of
irrational and self-defeating thought patterns, and therapists who employ
this approach try to help clients discover and change the cognitions that
underlie their problems.  » ) ( 
  Sis .  
  «  
.
In contrast to psychoanalysts, cognitive therapists do not emphasize the
importance of unconscious psychodynamic processes. Clients often need
help in identifying the beliefs, ideas, and selfstatements that trigger
maladaptive emotions and behaviors. Once identified, these cognitions can
be challenged and, with practice and effort, changed. Albert Ellis and
Aaron Beck are the most influential figures in the cognitive approach to
therapy.

Albert Ellis originally trained as a psychoanalytic therapist, but became
convinced that irrational thoughts, rather than unconscious
dynamics, were the most immediate cause of self defeating emotions.
Rational-emotive therapists introduce clients to commonly held irrational
beliefs and then train them to ferret out the particular ideas that underlie
their maladaptive emotional responses. Clients are given homework

This consists of negative thoughts that depressed individuals have about themselves, about the world, and about the future. Depressed patients typically regard themselves as helpless, worthless, and inadequate. They interpret events in the world in an unrealistically negative an defeatist way. The final part of the cognitive triad involves depressed individuals seeing the future as totally hopeless, because their worthlessness will prevent any improvement occurring in their situation.  1497# ( )   ) (  .   .

Negative automatic thoughts are triggered effortlessly when depressed individuals experience failure. Overgeneralization involves drawing very general negative conclusions from specific evidence. For example, failing to obtain one particular job is interpreted as meaning that the depressed person will never find a job again. ¢ : ( Cd ) . 23.

Behavior Therapies
Behavior therapy developed during the 1950s and 1960s, but its origins go
back several decades before that. The underlying notions are that most
mental disorders are caused by maladaptive leaming, and that the best
treatment consists of appropriate new learning.

Behavior therapists believe that abnormal behavior develops through
conditioning. There are two main forms of conditioning: (1) classical
conditioning involving learning by association; and (2) operant

situations (e.g., social situations for social phobia), with the feared situation
becoming gradually more intense over time. It is used extensively in the
treatment of phobias or extreme fears. Exposure therapy has proved
successful in the treatment of most anxiety disorders. It is assumed that
phobic fears are acquired by classical conditioning, with the conditioned or
phobic stimulus (e.g., a snake) being associated with a painful or aversive
stimulus creating
fear. The repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus in exposure
therapy leads to extinction or habituation of the fear response.

2. Aversion therapy: In classical aversive conditioning a neutral or positive
stimulus is paired with an unpleasant or aversive stimulus (e.g., electric
shock). This causes an aversive reaction (e.g., anxiety) to the neutral or
positive stimulus. Aversive therapy is based on aversive conditioning. For
example, an alcoholic is given aversive stimuli (e.g., electric shocks) while
starting to drink alcohol. The intention is that alcohol will produce feelings
of anxiety and so inhibit drinking.

3. Token economy: The token economy involves selective positive
reinforcement or reward. It is used with institutionalized patients who are
given tokens colored counters) for behaving appropriately.
Dickerson, Tenhula, and Green-Paden (2005) reviewed 13 studies of the
token economy being used with schizophrenics. Beneficial effects were
reported in 11 of these studies. The token economy is not used much
nowadays in the treatment of schizophrenics, who are now mostly treated
in the community. One reason for reduced use of the token economy is that
it is very hard to exert the required level of environmental control within
the community.

Computer technology has provided a new method for delivering exposure
treatments by bringing the external environment into the therapy room.
Virtual reality (VR) involves the use of computer technology to create
highly realistic virtual environments that simulate actual experience so
vividly that they evoke many of the same reactions that a comparable real-
world environment would. Observers typically wear helmets containing
two small video monitors (one for each eye) attached to a high-speed
computer. The image to each eye is slightly different, producing binocular
depth perception cues that result in a three-dimensional image. With the aid
of position-tracking devices, the computer monitors the person’s physical
movements and adjusts the images and sounds accordingly. Observers thus
have a vivid sense of being ' present ' in a different place when navigating
through the virtual world. . .

Combined Approaches
Some integrative approaches combine different types of psychotherapy or
combine nontraditional practices with traditional approaches. Sometimes
the optimal treatment for a psychological disorder may be to combine
drugs with psychotherapy. We will look at combinations of drugs with
psychotherapy, integrative psychotherapy, and the integration of
mindfulness practices with psychotherapeutic techniques. . »
SED
. - (/ (/ Integrative
Traditional ( / )/ 
Given the dynamic interplay between biological and psychological
influences in determining many psychological disorders, combining these
two approaches might work better than either alone. The drugs can modify
some of the debilitating effects of a disorder enough so that the patients can
function sufficiently well to learn techniques that might help in changing
their problematic thinking and behavior. This approach works best for
mood and anxiety disorders, in which thinking is not severely impaired.
For example, CBT combined with drugs has been used most effectively to
manage depression. The drugs help manage the depressive state, and the
CBT helps clients recognize and control the thought patterns that may push
them into depressive states.

Some therapists take an eclectic approach to psychotherapy, which means
that they draw on numerous techniques in their work with clients. These
clinicians are typically trained in many methods and use those that seem
most appropriate given the situation. They are not loyal to any particular
orientation or treatment, but rather draw on those that seem most
appropriate given the situation.

These multiple interactions help the child develop, but making mistakes in
the interactions or making incorrect assumptions can cause difficulties.
Open, welcoming conversations provide
a basis for development of the
relationship. Another integrative approach is dialectical behavior therapy
(DBT), developed by Marsha for the treatment of borderline personality
disorder. The word dialectic describes the contradictions in emotional and
interpersonal behavior, thinking, and self-concept that characterize the
borderline life. Dialectical behavior therapy includes elements
from cognitive, behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic therapies to
address the many aspects of this disorder.

It is intensive in nature, with clients seen in both individual and groups
sessions by multiple therapists. Behavioral techniques are used to help
clients learn interpersonal, problem-solving and emotion—control skills.
Cognitive approaches are employed to help clients learn more adaptive
thinking about the world, relationships and themselves.
A psychodynamics

many of the problems.
A humanistic emphasis on acceptance of thoughts
and feelings has now been added to help clients better tolerate on
unhappiness and negative emotions as they occur.
