Severe Migraine

Brief cognitive-behavioral intervention (CBI) was conducted in the emergency room (ER). The current literature on biomedical and psychological risk factors of migraine is reviewed briefly including studies demonstrating the effectiveness of CBI with such patients. The case study portrays CBI that assists a patient suffering from severe migraine attack. We cautiously proposed that CBI can provide patients with a sense of control and may offer empowerment for the personnel in the ER. An integrative approach to health care is suggested when assessing patients with migraine.

Insight Into

This article proposes a model of a cognitive-behavioral disorder that is manifested by a neurotic tendency to rely on self-punishment strategies to motivate and correct one’s own behavior rather than using insight into its causes and elements. The individual suffering from this disorder appears generally hostile, overdemanding, and unhappy; feels out of control; and verbalizes a sense of deserving to experience difficulties in life. In the extreme, this syndrome might be related to a long-standing inability or unwillingness to enter into intimate social relationships. Its maintenance can be described within a framework of simple behavioral realities. The syndrome is subtle and essentially cognitive and, therefore, covert, and its presence and effects can go unrecognized within the context of more overt pathologies. Three brief case examples are presented, and a set of cognitive-behavioral interventions is described that has had promising results with individuals exhibiting this syndrome. Implications for possible future research are briefly discussed.

The Subject

This paper reports a case study of a successful cognitive behavioral intervention using performance profiling. The subject, a top-10 female racket sport player, had a problem with her temperament on court, becoming angry and frustrated in pressure situations. Performance profiling was used for three major purposes: (a) to aid the sport psychologist in identifying an appropriate psychological intervention, (b) to maximize the performer’s self-motivation to partake in and adhere to the intervention, and (c) to monitor any changes during the intervention. A multimodal stress management approach was adopted using a combination of component parts from the available packages. The performance profiling technique showed significant improvements in the performer’s ability to cope with pressure situations 3 and 6 months after the intervention.

Behavioral Techniques ◽

In this article we discuss two impediments to widespread adoption and implementation of cognitive-behavioral intervention (CBI) procedures by teachers of students with behavior disorders. First, its principles can be difficult, even for researchers and other specialists. Second, despite ample demonstration that teachers can be taught CBI techniques, implementation at significant scale is impeded by historical resistance to the use of behavioral techniques, even after 30 years of research meant to place behavior management in schools on a scientific basis. We conclude with comments on the likelihood of wider use of CBI and offer recommendations for a research implementation agenda that focuses on generalization of appropriate use of CBI across teachers and schools.

Early Maladaptive Schema ◽

Studies of the outcome of cognitive-behavioral treatment of clients diagnosed with personality disorders are few and need further replication. This case study examines how Beck’s (Beck, Freeman, & Associates, 1990) and Young’s (Young, 1990; Young & Lindemann, 1992) schema-focused approach offers a helpful framework to use with an Avoidant Personality Disorder (APD) client. The findings point to the value of cognitive/behavioral strategies in restructuring Early Maladaptive Schema (Young, 1990) historically associated with APD, and in modifying many of the behavior patterns characteristic of APD.
