Chapter 1
Empirically supported treatments: studied using at least 2
randomized controlled trials of 2 different research groups

Main reasons for not using CBT
- Lack of training
- Negative beliefs regarding CBT
- Thinking there is a more effective alternative
- Institutional barriers: only available for
students/employees, small incentive
- Patient barriers: no time, different goal than symptom
reduction, preference for non-distressing treatment, no
motivation
- Research barriers: lack of effectiveness and knowledge
on training therapists

Treatment appraisal and applications

factors

rewarding
Principles which might help preventing fear or panic
reactions to return
- Variability in lieu of habituation: exposures varying
in nature
- Deepened extinction: simultaneous exposure of 2 feared
stimuli
- Removal of safety signals
- Expectancy violation
- Affect labelling: making the patient mention an emotion
and situation
- Retrieval cues
- D-cycloserine: quicker response to exposure therapy
Boosting treatment effectiveness by taking away these
factors
- Social mishap exposure: making patients mess up a
social situation
- Eliminating safety behaviours
- Attention retraining
- Concrete exposure-feedback: changes negative self-
perception
