Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder that is characterized by major disturbances in terms of thoughts, emotions, and behavior. The employed assessment methods consist of interviews, observation, psychological tests, and documentation. The subjects were schizophrenics with low self-esteem problems. The treatment strategy through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was aimed to change negative thoughts and maladaptive behavior to increase self-esteem. The result was a change in the form of thoughts or beliefs that everyone had weaknesses and strengths, including themselves, and an increase in self-esteem scores. Keywords: Schizophrenia, self-esteem, cognitive behavioral therapy

This chapter discusses insight (“delusionality”) in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). BDD beliefs span a broad range of insight, from good to absent insight (i.e., delusional beliefs). About 70% of patients have poor or absent insight. Early emerging clues suggest possible neurobiologic bases of poorer insight in BDD. BDD’s delusional form (characterized by the absence of insight) appears to be the same disorder as its nondelusional form rather than a separate psychotic disorder. Consistent with this, serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SRI) monotherapy is efficacious for delusional BDD as well as nondelusional BDD. Neuroleptic (antipsychotic) monotherapy is not currently recommended for delusional BDD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) appears efficacious for both delusional and nondelusional BDD, but research is needed to determine whether a somewhat modified approach may be helpful for delusional beliefs. Insight often improves with SRIs and CBT.

Pairing procedures are among the most frequently used paradigms for modifying evaluations of target stimuli related to oneself, an object, or a specific situation due to their repeated pairing with evaluative sources, such as positive or negative images or words. Because altered patterns of evaluations can be linked to the emergence and maintenance of disordered cognitions and behaviors, it has been suggested that pairing procedures may provide a simple yet effective means of complementing more complex intervention approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Here, we summarize recent studies that explored the clinical potential of pairing procedures for improving self-esteem, body satisfaction, and food and consumption preferences. While no study has yet combined pairing procedures with CBT, there are several successful examples of pairing procedures in clinically relevant domains and clinical populations. We discuss potential sources of heterogeneity among findings, provide methodological recommendations, and conclude that pairing procedures may bear clinical potential as an add-on to classical psychotherapy.

Adjusting and adapting to a chronic health condition is a long process that involves adopting a new lifestyle. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has had great success in promoting this process and enhancing self-management skills among people with chronic conditions. The main goal of CBT is to encourage people to become their own therapist and to feel confident in managing their chronic situation. This chapter describes the main CBT ideas on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact with one another and which concepts and techniques can help people break the vicious cycle of negative thoughts, difficult emotions, and nonadaptive behaviors. Following that, the chapter explains how to implement those skills and techniques specifically among people with chronic health conditions in order to increase their quality of life.
