PSY 606 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Cognitive Therapy, Major Depressive Disorder, Group Psychotherapy
Document Summary
Ellis (suffered from severe social phobia but defeated his negative thoughts) Sane sentence followed by insane sentence creates anxiety depression guilt disorder. How is ellis different from carl rogers? (humanistic therapy client centered approach) Ellis had no rapport built with his client + more direct approach + harsh. No trust building relationship between ellis and client. *check aaron beck"s video link later after she posts on bb* Group therapy is effective for social phobia, probably not so good for depression. Fear lies in fear of embarrassment not so much the actual social situations. Non-productive advice given amongst patients but flip-side too. Must need a good experienced facilitating therapist for discussion. Some people need individual attention (sensitive issues + confidentiality) No time to get to deeply-rooted issues and focus on here-and-now issues. New type of therapy used for people with three or more episodes of clinical depression.
