Nowadays, the problem of diagnosis, interpretation and selection of treatment options for phobic anxiety disorders is becoming more acute taking into account the multidimensionality of a human being. The data obtained on psychopharmacotherapy show its moderate effectiveness for phobic anxiety disorders. The combination of psychopharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, which often plays a leading role in the treatment process, works much better. The paper aims at analyzing psychotherapeutic treatment options for phobic anxiety disorders, such as exposure therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy and self-help groups, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation method. There are pros and cons for both psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment options. Therefore, the choice of the most effective treatment options should be determined after an in-depth examination of a patient and carried out by a multidisciplinary team of specialists.

Research has shown that sleep is essential to our physical and mental well-being. In this chapter, the authors discuss the relationships between psychological functioning, stress, and sleep, demonstrating that sleep plays a key role in cognitive and emotional processes and mental health. They also illustrate how various psychological factors contribute to sleep disturbance and explore different relaxation techniques shown to improve sleep quality, including deep breathing, guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness meditation. Finally, the authors examine Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Insomnia, a pioneering intervention that integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness training.

More than 10% of fathers experience depression and anxiety during the perinatal period, but paternal perinatal depression (PPND) and anxiety have received less attention than maternal perinatal mental health problems. Few mainstream treatment options are available for men with PPND and anxiety. The aim of this literature review was to summarize the current understanding of PPND and the treatment programs specifically designed for fathers with perinatal depression. Eight electronic databases were searched using a predefined strategy, and reference lists were also hand searched. PPND and anxiety were identified to have a negative impact on family relationships, as well as the health of mothers and children. Evidence suggests a lack of support and tailored treatment options for men having trouble adjusting to the transition to fatherhood. Of the limited options available, cognitive behavioral therapy, group work, and blended delivery programs, including e-support approaches appear to be most effective in helping fathers with perinatal depression and anxiety. The review findings have important implications for the understanding of PPND and anxiety. Future research is needed to address the adoption of father-inclusive and father-specific models of care to encourage fathers’ help-seeking behavior. Inclusion of male-specific requirements into support and treatment options can improve the ability of services to engage new fathers. Psychotherapeutic intervention could assist to address the cognitive differences and dissonance for men adjusting to the role of father, including male identity and role expectations.

One of the characteristics of physical changes in the elderly involves a decrease in the musculoskeletal system, such as the depletion of the synovial joint fluid which has an impact on the pain felt in joints. This condition can cause a disruption of the quality of life for the elderly and results in increases in the family burden. The purpose of cognitive-behavioral therapy in nurse care planning is to provide an overview of the implementation of family care nursing, community care health nursing, and management of health services by community health nurses to the elderly with osteoarthritis. The innovation and development of this senior citizen community program, initially named Lansia SMART (SMART Elderly), consists of six sessions, including psychoeducation sessions, cognitive restructuring sessions, pain management sessions with progressive muscle relaxation, activity scheduling sessions, problem-solving sessions, and tutorial sessions for the Lansia SMART (SMART Elderly) group with the Android application. The final maintaining challenging stage of these services involved 59 elderly participants. Data analysis used paired T-tests. The results of this innovation showed significant differences in the behavior of the elderly participants after the implementation of the SMART Elderly program (p < 0.05). The SMART Elderly program was effective to improve the elderly participants’ behavior. Nurses can use cognitive behavioral therapy to improve the process of self-management of osteoarthritis among their clients.
