Question
What works in CBT ?
What works in CBT?
• Cognitive restructuring
• Behaviour experiments / activation
• Shared Decision Making (targets and pathways)
(helping patients to become aware of their strenghts and weaknesses and to
convert weaknesses into power)
3 Steps
• Shared Problem Definition (S.P.D)
(emphasis on coping style / (discouraging) habits)
• Behaviour Change (B.Ch)
(learning to improve coping style by observing, comparing, reflecting,
imitating and experimenting)
• Relapse Prevention (R.Pr)
(what triggers? How to anticipate?)
3 steps,
• SPD :
8 sub-steps
- Restoring overview
- Finding connection
- Formulating targets / treatmentplan
• BCh :
- Habits + alternatives
- Behaviour change by imitation / social learning
- The power of thoughts
- Challenging of thoughts
• RPr :
- Termination and relapse prevention

Step I, Sub-step 1:
Restoring overview
• Dialogue
• Patient’s report
• Measurement

Symptom distress (Sd)
Sleeplessness
Anxious
Retreat / shrink into oneself
Circumstances (Ci)

Father passsed away

Support from husband
Coping style (Cs)
“habits”
High sense of responsibility
Careful / caring
Self-sacrificing

Step I, substep 2:
connection
Sd = Ci x Cs
• Descriptive diagnosis
• Emphasis on:
Cs
Step I, Sub-step 2
example
Sd = Ci x Cs
•
Depression = (too) much burden x doom-mongering
•
Panic D
= loss x doubtfulness
•
Panic D
= > distress x extreme cautious

Coping style
• Habits
• Dimensional
• Position on an equilibrium
too little----------------------------------too much
Cs: equilibrium
• Egoist-----------------------------------Altruist
• Avoidant--------------------------------Impulsive
• Pessimist------------------------------Optimist
• Extravert-------------------------------Introvert
Cs: equilibrium: other examples
• Richard-----------------------------------Hyacinth
• Manuel------------------------------------Basil
• Florance Nightingale------------------Madonna
• Throwing in the towel ------- Man of action
Habits and alternatives: intermediates
• Avoidant—cautious—steady—carefree—enthousiatic—
Impulsive.
• Shy—introvert—single—normal—cooperative—
extravert—Sociable.
• Obsessive—stubborn—serious—steady—flexible—
Indolent.
Step II, sub step 5:
Behaviour change by imitation
The use of prototypes and metaphors
•
Too much “Manuel – like” behaviour (Fawlty Towers)
•
Too much “Richard”, too little “Hyacinth or Onslow”
•
Too much Florance N, too little Madonna
•
From: “always yes, of course”
•
From Florance N. to:
•
From: “absolute single”
•
From: throwing in the towel to: deliberated action
•
From: bull in China shop to:
to: “yes, but”
“in between”
to:
“ a little cooperation”
deliberated action
The power of metaphor / prototype
•
•
•
•
•
Multiple access (verbal; imaginative; interactive; activity)
Differs perception and reality (activates distance)
Humor (nonblaming)
Examples for change (perspective)
Speedy recall
Behaviour change by imitation:
techniques
• Equilibrium and sociogram
“if you imagine……(family, friends, collegues, etc), how
are they divided on...”
• Equilibrium and prototypes
“Who among your collegues, acts different than
Florance Nightingale, without going overboard…?”
Equilibrium and techniques
• Observing (oneself, other people, exceptions, effects)
• Reflecting
• Imitating
• Experimenting / role playing
• Cognitions
Step II, sub step 6:
The interconnection between behaviour and Cognitions /
automatic ideas
• Simple examples: (a sudden noise at night).
• Burglar or cat? (action guided by perspective)
• How would Florance N. react / think about that noise?
How would Madonna do? Or …?
• Simple role playing in the office.
Cognitions and your equilibrium
• Stimulate meta cognitive activity: if it is your habit to act
like, and you realise that …… what do you think that
your habitual thoughts will be about ……….
• Introduce The Beck outline

Evidences
Evidence 1.
Van Orden et al (2009) Psychiatric Practice
• 165 patients, different diagnoses
• Brief therapy (BT) at GP’s office versus CAU in second line
• Symptom reduction:
• Quality of life:
• Satisfaction:
No difference
No difference
No difference
• Needed amount of sessions: BT:
• % Relapse: not available yet
30% less.
Evidence 2
Van Straten et al. (2006, Br. Journ. Psych.; 2006, Acta Ps.
Scandinavica)
• 702 patients: Anxiety / mood disorders
• Random: BT – CBT or CAU
• Results: same as: Van Orden
• Relapse (18-24 m): CAU >> CBT > BT
