Comparison of Theories
• No theo of pschotheap ualifies eets Popple’s citeia as scietific
Modes of Psychotherapy – 4 dimensions
1. Cognition
a. Learning directly by experience and indirectly by symbols
b. You are influenced by what people tell you and what you see
c. We can transcend time. We have an imagination
d. What are you attitudes and beliefs
e. They can be explicit or implicit
2. Behaviour
a. Learning through action
b. E.g., exercise, in vivo (actually doing it) learning, role playing, homework
c. Not the choices you make, how you act them out
3. Affect
a. Emotions or feelings
b. Direct views – emotions as epiphenomena, emotions as powerful agents leading
to change, and emotions as evidence of change
4. Physiology
a. Neurological, somatic, or organic causes of behaviour
b. Psychologists are not very interested in this, but they still have to take
assessments if there are physiology reasons that are influencing behaviours. E.g.,
low insulin causes people to feel dizzy and act drunk
Mechanisms of Psychotherapy

▪ People might think they are the only one going through this
▪ When they find out they are not the only one, they feel better
o Insight
▪ They realize there is another way to look at things
o Modeling
▪ When you see somebody else, you might want to model their behaviour
▪ You make a choice in the behaviours you want to model
▪ A lot of people refrain from using drugs because they see the affects it
has o people ad the do’t at to go do that oad
• Affective Factors
o Acceptance
▪ Acceptance by others is very important
▪ Acceptace of ouself. Especiall, he thee ae thigs ou do’t like
about yourself that you cannot change
o Altruism
