Tinnitus is a symptom of ear disease that may cause psychological distress. We report here on the successful treatment of stress-related tinnitus in a patient with otosclerosis (an ear disease). The patient experienced stress-induced attacks during which tinnitus became unbearable. A cognitive-behavioural treatment programme of 10 sessions was given during two weeks. Results assessed at pre-and post-treatment showed decreased annoyance and increased coping with tinnitus. The attacks became less frequent and easier to handle. The results support the application of cognitive-behavioural treatment in cases with difficult tinnitus.

End Of Treatment

This case report describes the successful treatment of a five year-old girl with phobic reactions to thunderstorms. Treatment consisted of six components: self-statements; positive reinforcement; peer modelling; exposure to a videotape of a weather report and exposure to an audiotape of storms; and, exposure to a school weather project. Ratings of the girl's behaviour were provided independently by the girl's mother and her teacher at pre- and post-treatment, and at a seven and twelve month follow-up. These ratings showed a decrease in fear behaviour at the end of treatment, and this decrease was maintained over the follow-up period.

Treatment Package

Space phobia is a well defined rare syndrome, similar but distinct from agoraphobia. Its key distinguishing feature is fear of absent visuospatial support (open spaces) and of falling. In the past, this condition has generally been considered resistant to treatment by exposure in vivo. We report a case of a woman suffering from severe space phobia who received a cognitive-behavioural based treatment package. The gains that she made are described, but overall her condition remained relatively resistant to therapy. We suggest that a degree of caution regarding outcome goals at the start of any similar treatment of this rare disorder is wise.

Development And Validation

Background: A premise of cognitive behavioural treatment is that individuals make cognitive, behavioural and situational changes prompted by interventions and that these changes bring about improvements in targeted outcomes. Aims: The present project set out to provide reliability and validity information for a brief measure of therapeutically induced change. Methods: A total of 281 participants, comprising three samples who took part in three different intervention studies, completed items relating to cognitive, behavioural and situational changes and completed measures relating to the intervention in which they participated. Results: The internal consistency of the scale assessing therapeutically induced change was high in the three samples. The scale showed evidence of validity through association with (1) more involvement in an intervention (2) reporting that an intervention was meaningful (3) being instructed to incorporate insights gained from an intervention into one's daily life (4) greater decreases in psychological distress and negative affect from pre-intervention to post-intervention, and (5) greater increases in positive affect from pre-intervention to post-intervention. Conclusions: The therapeutically-induced change scale may have utility as a process measure in various interventions.

Pre Treatment

Cognitive behavioural treatment for chronic pain was individually tailored based on pre-treatment assessment of the subjective pain experience of each patient. Eight chronic pain patients completed the individualized treatment program which consisted of relaxation techniques, hypnotic deepening strategies, a relabeling hierarchy based upon pain descriptors, positive self-statements, didactic information, and cognitive-restructuring techniques. Patients self-monitored their pain during a two week pre-treatment baseline period, during the eight weeks of treatment and for one week post-treatment. Additional treatment outcome measures were also taken. Compared to baseline data, patients reported positive changes on many of the treatment outcome criteria, including McGill Pain Questionnaire indices, reduction in the number of hours spent in pain, and follow-up questionnaire responses. Treatment outcome measures collected at one week, six months, and 15 months post-treatment all suggested positive treatment gains. The greatest gains were reported at the six month post-treatment assessment suggesting a generalization or practice component to the therapy. Additionally, patients with constant pain were found more refractory to treatment than patients with intermittent pain.

Our confidence in being able to offer successful treatment of paedophilia remains low. A multifaceted cognitive/behavioural treatment approach is described in the hitherto successful treatment of a man with a 13-year history of sexually interfering with young children of both sexes.
