Behavioural Strategies

Two cases involving the cognitive-behavioural treatment of hallucinations are described. In both cases, a focusing strategy was used with a view to enabling patients to reattribute the nature and meaning of their experiences. One patient showed a marked reduction in the frequency and content of his voices. The second patient showed little change. The implications of observations made during therapy for the future development of cognitive-behavioural strategies for use with psychotic patients are discussed.

Behavioural Strategies

Changing one’s lifestyle is difficult and adherence to medication in people at high cardiovascular risk and established cardiovascular disease is low. Lifestyle is usually based on longstanding patterns and is highly determined by social environment and socioeconomic status. Additional factors such as chronic stress, cognitive impairment, and negative emotions (e.g. depression, anxiety) further impede the ability to adopt a healthy lifestyle, as does complex or confusing advice by medical caregivers. In clinical practice, increased awareness of these factors will facilitate empathetic counselling and the provision of simple and explicit advice. Established cognitive-behavioural strategies are important tools to help with behaviour change and medication adherence. Specialized healthcare professionals (e.g. nurses, dieticians, psychologists) should be involved whenever necessary and feasible. Reducing dosage demands to the lowest applicable level is the single most effective means for enhancing adherence to medication.

A small proportion of children and adolescents experience a debilitating level of social anxiety, known as social phobia. Initially, we consider the phenomenology and aetiology of social phobia in children and adolescents. A number of age-sensitive assessment instruments or tools are briefly considered: a diagnostic interview, self-report instruments, cognitive assessment and self-monitoring. We explore cognitive-behavioural strategies that have been found to be useful in the management of social phobia. Although there is much research support for the efficacy of cognitive-behavioural strategies for adults with social phobia, it is emphasized that controlled evaluations have yet to be undertaken with socially phobic youngsters.

The patient's perspective of treatment is seldom considered when psychological interventions are evaluated. Our aim was to undertake a qualitative study to assess the patients' viewpoint of what was helpful as well as harmful about the treatment they have completed. Twenty-one female referrals to an outpatient university-based eating disorders service (10 anorexia nervosa and 11 bulimia nervosa, mean age = 24.7 years, SD = 9.8) were interviewed on average one year after completion of either family counselling or cognitive-behavioural treatment. Most patients reported improvements as a result of treatment, although our formal assessment was more cautious. Patients identified psychoeducation, a supportive environment, challenging of dysfunctional beliefs, and behavioural strategies as helpful components of treatment. A significant minority felt that causes of the illness were dealt with inadequately, and that behavioural strategies were insufficient when symptoms were too overpowering. This study shows that gaining the patient's perspective of therapy could provide clinicians with helpful feedback to improve treatment for this challenging patient population.
