And Control

This study investigated the effects that a group-focused cognitive-behavioral coaching program had on depressive symptoms of a sample of inmates from Nsukka Prisons, Enugu State, Nigeria. The design of the study was pretest–posttest control group . The participants were 30 male inmates, experiencing high levels of depressive symptoms, and randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. The primary outcome measure was depression symptoms as measured using Beck’s Depression Inventory. Repeated-measures ANOVA and the Mann–Whitney U Test were used for data analysis. Results show that exposing inmates to the group-focused cognitive-behavioral coaching program significantly reduced the depressive symptoms of inmates in the treatment group compared with those in the control group. Our results support the use of cognitive-behavioral coaching interventions designed to assist the severely depressed inmates in Nigeria. Further studies should be conducted both in other states of Nigeria and in other countries.

Future Directions

In this article, we present a cognitive-behavioral model and treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). In the first section, we review a model of GAD that includes four main components: intolerance of uncertainty, positive beliefs about worry, negative problem orientation, and cognitive avoidance. Next we present the GAD assessment tools used at our clinic, which include standardized interviews and self-report questionnaires of GAD symptoms and underlying cognitive-behavioral processes. We then provide a step-by-step description of a treatment that is based on the aforementioned model of GAD, and that has six core components: presentation of treatment rationale (learning to cope with uncertainty); worry awareness training; reevaluation of the usefulness of worrying; problem-solving training; cognitive exposure; and relapse prevention. Following the treatment description, we summarize the efficacy data from our completed randomized clinical trials, and present some preliminary findings from our ongoing trial comparing our treatment to applied relaxation and wait-list control. In the final section, we present an in-depth discussion of future directions for the study and treatment of GAD, with a focus on the approach-avoidance nature of GAD. Given the movement in the field favoring the expansion of cognitive-behavioral treatments, we also comment on the possible implications of the newest integrative therapies for our existing treatment.

Illness Anxiety

Background: Although mental illness anxiety is described in the literature, there is very little information on which to draw when treating individuals who present with fears and worries about mental health. In fact, we identified no previous case descriptions focused on this form of anxiety and treated from a cognitive behavioral perspective. Aims: The current case study aims to advance the understanding of the clinical picture of mental illness anxiety, and facilitate the understanding of how cognitive behavioral techniques for health anxiety can be effectively adapted and implemented for such a case. Method: A case study approach was adopted in which a baseline condition and repeated assessments were conducted during an 8-week treatment and 2-month follow-up period. In the current case study, we discuss the assessment, conceptualization, and cognitive behavioral treatment of a 24-year old woman who presented with mental illness anxiety. Several common health anxiety assessment tools and cognitive behavioural techniques were adapted for her particular clinical presentation. Results: Consistent with research evidence for health anxiety, significant improvements in health anxiety and anxiety sensitivity were seen after eight sessions of therapy and maintained at 2-month follow-up. Conclusions: The results provide preliminary evidence that cognitive behavioral techniques for health anxiety can be effectively and efficiently adapted for mental illness anxiety. However, the lack of available research pertaining to mental illness anxiety contributes to challenges in conceptualization, assessment and treatment.
