Cognitive Behaviour

This single case study investigates a woman with organic hallucinosis, who was assessed using the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale (CPRS). She then received cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for 11 months. The CBT approach involved engaging the patient and specific symptom targeting. An individual formulation was developed, leading to schema focused intervention and relapse prevention. The subjects total CPRS scores and schizophrenia subscale scores were reduced dramatically.

Different Levels

Interactive video has been identified as a potential delivery medium for psychotherapy. Interactive video may restrict the range of both verbal and non-verbal communication and consequently impede the development of a therapeutic relationship, thus influencing the process and outcome of therapy. A single case study explored the feasibility of the provision of cognitive behaviour therapy using interactive video with a client diagnosed a shaving mixed anxiety and depressive disorder. A range of outcome measures were included together with an independent psychiatric assessment prior to, and on completion of, therapy. Different levels of outcome were also examined: clinical, social, user views and administration. Outcome measures indicated a reduction in psychopathology and some modification of dysfunctional attitudes, with no apparent impairment of the working alliance.

AbstractThis article introduces a new intervention model designed to address phobic avoidances in children with Asperger syndrome, incorporating principles and techniques from cognitive and behaviour therapy into the art form of drama. This paper presents a single case study that outlines the application of the model in the treatment of a long-term fear of hand-driers in an 11-year-old boy, diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, for whom all other forms of therapy including variants of systematic desensitisation and traditional cognitive behaviour therapy had been found to be ineffective. The results of this study offer preliminary descriptive evidence of the efficacy of the model and durability of outcomes.

Evidence Based Therapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is an evidence-based therapy, originally developed to treat major depression. IPT conceptualizes depression from a bio-psychosocial perspective where signs of depression are understood in the context of an individual’s current social and interpersonal stressors, defined in terms of role transitions, disputes, bereavements, and sensitivities. In this single case study, IPT was used to treat a woman undergoing primary infertility with multiple failed pregnancies and unsuccessful adoption procedures along with specific grief reactions and depressive symptoms for 2 years. The therapy was formulated over 12 weekly sessions in the outpatient set-up in a general hospital in Kolkata in 2017. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was used to assess the efficacy of the therapy and its outcomes. The therapy was found to be effective in the patient and justifies the rationale of choosing the said therapy for the specific case from an interpersonal viewpoint. The case study may help suggest how and why to use interpersonal psychotherapy in infertility conditions with psychological ramifications.

The Relationship

The relationship between transference and therapeutic alliance has been long discussed. It is only recently, however, that empirical evidence has provided support for a tight correspondence between several transference dimensions and rupture and resolution processes. In the present single-case study, we used alliance ruptures as a key dimension to understand patient’s transference dynamics. This was achieved in a particular form of patient’s behavior, i.e., patient’s deference and acquiescent behavior, which describes a significant submission to assertions, skills, judgments and point of views of another person. Therapeutic process was measured by means of the Rupture Resolution Rating Scale, the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme and the Defense Mechanism Rating Scales, whereas therapeutic outcome was measured by means of the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure-200. Results of sequential analysis yielded a significant correspondence between rupture markers, characterized by avoidance and shifting of session’s topic, and patient’s narrations. Furthermore, a systematic correspondence between alliance ruptures and patient’s avoidant functioning, which emerged both in transference relationship and in the quality of the defense structure, was found. Together, these findings indicate that patient’s deference inhibits the expression of relational themes, with ruptures in alliance that seem to be supported by a strong defensive structure. In particular, patient’s avoidance played a double role in the treatment. On the one hand, avoidance was the main characteristic of her transference structure, based on extreme intellectualization and emotional closure. On the other hand, it contributed to create an impasse in the treatment, based on a withdrawal ruptures model and on obsessive level defences.

This paper reports an exacerabation of health fears in response to cognitive modification in a patient with Somatoform Disorder (NOS). The results of the intervention present interesting theoretical implications for the conceptualization of cognitive events in clinical disorders and those characteristics that may contribute to treatment failure.

Abstract The current case study used cognitive behaviour treatment (CBT) for the management of a 35-year-old, married man who presented with complaint of compulsive hoarding. The complaint of compulsive hoarding (excessive acquisition, difficulty in discarding saved material and cluttering) was accompanied by feeling of anger, sad mood, low confidence, decreased sleep and appetite, poor problem solving ability, indecisiveness and interpersonal conflicts. The study was approved by the institutional research committee (Departmental Doctoral Programme Committee) and followed by the university research committee (Advance Studies and Review Board) as academic requirement for the duration of 2013-2020. Written consent was also taken from the individual to publish the results of the case. Twenty-eight CBT sessions of one-hour duration were conducted, over a period of six months. Continuous...
