Document Summary
Insight into unresolved unconscious conflicts and working through. People"s thoughts are the most powerful influence on their behavior. Challenging the logic and evidence for automatic thoughts. Humans strive to grow, develop, and be authentic. Disorders come from pressures to conform to others" expectations and values. Treatment: client-centered therapy (positive regard, empathy facilitates client"s personal growth) Focus on the larger social unit rather than the individual. Roots of problems are within relationships with other people/groups. Single-subject- just 1 person"s data (not averaged w/ a group) Epidemiology- study of the distribution and determinants of the frequency of a disorder in humans (often measures prevalence) Lifetime prevalence: percentage of a specific population that had the disorder at some point in their life, even if they currently no longer show symptoms. If less than 5 in 100 times, (p>. 05) we say that the results of the study are statistically significant. Effect size: the influence that a treatment has on the dependent variable.
