Behavioural treatment of an adolescent girl with chronic stomach pain is described. The client was treated with a broad spectrum behavioural package including applied relaxation and coping skills. Results indicated considerable improvements in ratings of down-time, nausea, health, and mood. Moreover, she was nearly pain-free, and her activity and depression levels were substantially improved. The effects of treatment generalized to the natural environment and were sustained at a 9 month follow-up.

This case study illustrates the reduction of severe stuttering by an individually tailored treatment programme. Interventions are derived from a tripartite analysis (Lang, 1971) and include EMG biofeedback, regulated breathing, exposure in vivo to stressful communication situations and cognitive techniques to reduce relapse risk. The role of dysfunctional response system interactions in stuttering is emphasized. Treatment resulted in a marked reduction of stuttering and associated facial contortions during videotaped conversations with strangers and oral reading. Improvement was maintained at one-year follow-up.

The aim of the current paper is to describe the tailoring of cognitive-behavioural treatment for a female client who developed posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) subsequent to awareness under anaesthetic during an emergency caesarean procedure. Treatment consisted of prolonged and in vivo exposure, and cognitive restructuring over eight sessions. Assessment was conducted prior to treatment, immediately after treatment, and at 6- and 24-month follow-up. Follow-up at 24 months demonstrated good outcome, with the client no longer meeting criteria for PTSD.

This study aims to describe the psychological dynamics and factors that cause one schizophrenic spectrum disorder that is schizoaffective for the symptoms of schizophrenia and affective disorders that stand out at the same time. This research is a qualitative case study with one participant, Joko who is diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. The examination used interviews, observation, and several psychological tests. The results show that there are internal factors such as personality, coping skills, genetic vulnerability and external factors such as social support and unfulfilled affection and stressors as triggers that contribute to schizoaffective disorders. The results of the study can be a reference to prevent schizoaffective disorders through psychoeducation to families and help people with schizoaffective disorders by providing interventions to train emotional regulation and coping skills.

This article presents a new preventive approach (Couples Coping Enhancement Training: CCET) aimed at expanding upon the scope of current prevention programs by focussing on stress issues and individual and dyadic coping skills. The cognitive behavioral prevention program is based on stress and coping research in couples and seeks to improve important skills with an 18-hour course. The effectiveness of the approach is examined with respect to 143 couples over a period of one year. The results show that couples participating in the program benefit in terms of a significant increase in marital quality and that intervention couples appraise their relationship even after one year as substantially improved in a number of domains (quality of marital communication, intimacy etc.). Our results support the importance of prevention for couples with low marital satisfaction even if they have been living together for many years.

This case study describes the use of a multi component behavioural programme in the treatment of a 13-year-old girl with multiple phobias of injections, dental and medical procedures who faced major surgery within 6 months. The treatment involved coping skills training, systematic desensitization, in vivo desensitization with participant modelling and homework assignments. Measures of anxiety via SUDS ratings, behavioural approach tests and self-report measures demonstrated the effectiveness of the treatment program and the subsequent maintenance of treatment effects at 8 months follow-up.

Background: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is the first and the most important leading cause of mortality in Iran. Psychological factors play a key role in the onset and exacerbation of this disease. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) on perceived stress and coping skills of patients following AMI. Materials and Methods: This is a clinical trial with pre-test/ post-test/follow-up design conducted in 2018 on 30 patients with diagnosed AMI after discharge from Noor Heart Clinic in Rasht, Iran. The patients were randomly divided into intervention (5 females and 10 males) and control (8 females and 7 males) groups. Assessment tools included the Perceived Stress Scale and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire that were completed before and after intervention and during a 3-month follow-up period. The intervention group received DBT at 8 sessions of 90 minutes per week for 2 months. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni Post Hoc test. Results: The DBT had significant effects on the perceived stress (F=6.21, P<0.05), problem-focused coping strategy (F=5.00, P<0.05) and emotion-focused coping strategy (F=15.20, P<0.001). Conclusion: Dialectical behavior therapy can reduce the perceived stress and improve the coping skills of patients following AMI

The rarely reported problem of involuntary psychogenic vomiting was successfully treated with self-controlled relaxation, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral prescription. Specifically, the client learned to relax tense abdominal and eye muscles and to reevaluate cognitively the anger- and anxiety-evoking irrational beliefs preceding episodes of vomiting. Finally, the behavioral antecedents of vomiting were modified. At the termination of treatment and during the 3-year follow-up, no vomiting was reported. In addition, the client discontinued an antinausea medication without a resurgence of nausea.

Insight Into

Although antecedents of choking under pressure have been studied, prevention efforts have been somewhat inconsistent. Current choking-susceptibility criteria include trait anxiety (TA), self-consciousness (SC), and coping style. In the present case study, a college track-and-field athlete was self-identified as choking susceptible (CS), and a sport-specific mindfulness intervention to reduce levels of TA, SC, and alter coping to reduce choking susceptibility was implemented. The athlete identified as CS completed the 6-wk Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) program. Trait and state mindfulness were assessed throughout the program, with a follow-up 6 wk postintervention to gain further insight into the continuing effects of the mindfulness training. Visual analysis and quantitative and qualitative data demonstrated increases in mindfulness levels and changes in TA, SC, and coping, resulting in the participant’s failing to meet the choking-susceptibility criteria postintervention, indicating a reduced likelihood of choking in future performances. Enhanced mindfulness levels promoted greater awareness and acceptance, which may help counter the negative effects of stressful sport performances.

Family Variables

The successful treatment of faeces retention in a 6-year-old boy is discussed in the light of recent findings in the literature which suggest the need to take both family and therapist variables into account when training parents in child management skills. Details are given of the family variables considered relevant to the presenting problem in this case: lack of paternal motivation to co-operate in treatment, maternal depression and social isolation, and problem behaviour in a sibling. The treatment plan designed to take account of these variables is described, as well as the problems (and their resolution) encountered in implementing it. Successful outcome was maintained at three and six month follow-up. It is argued that wider use of this model of an expanded case study would provide useful hypotheses for future research, as well as clinical relevance for other practitioners.
