COMPLEX PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
● Subjective => for patient and therapist.

○ Severe problems in daily life, many different treatments, long treatments
● But, most complex psychological problems are
o Impactful and highly distressing
o Severe (harder to treat with the first step treatment, low intensity)
o Long-lasting or recurrent => often early development and continue in adulthood.
o High comorbidity and additional problems.

PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS FOR COMPLEX PROBLEMS
● Originate from previously existing therapies:
o Psychoanalytic psychotherapy (Sigmund Freud)
o Cognitive Behavior Therapy (Anton Beck)
- Precursor of treatment that we are discussing (not the only one).
PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY - RECAP
● Developed in the late 19th century/early 20th century
● Goal: bring unconscious or deeply buried thoughts and feelings to the conscious mind
● Become aware of hidden meanings or patterns
● Examine how repressed experiences and emotions (often from childhood) may contribute to current experiences,
actions and problems
● Historically: traditionally 4-5 sessions per week, 4 years at the time (long treatment)
● Psychoanalytic techniques:
a) Dream analysis => get insight of working the unconscious mind.
b) Free association => start talking about thoughts and hope for the emergence of emotions ot thoughts that
you weren't aware of.

, c) Transference => patient project their feeling onto the therapist. Project the feeling of for instance his/her
mum to the therapist. The therapist uses this in treatment.
d) Countertransference => is the opposite=> when the practitioner project feeling of someone else to the client.



COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY - RECAP

● ​Developed in the 1960s as cognitive therapy for depression
(originally)
o Unvalidated thoughts and cognitive disruptions
o Impact on emotions and behaviors
o Often not needed to dive into the past (stay in the present)
● Extensively researched and found effective for many
psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, OCD, PTSD, eating
disorders, psychosis etc.


Cognitive model
● Dysfunctional automatic thoughts =A often developed through early experience.
● Cognitive distortions => Errors in logical reasoning, e.g. dichotomous thinking ‘’black or white’’.
● Core belief => develop early on in life, also called schemas about the self, others, and world.
Goal
● Changing cognitions and behavior to bring about change in how one feels in daily life
Means
● Structured, goal-oriented treatment sessions
● Aim: patient responsible own therapeutic process.
● Practical and active participation (we need active engagement)
Techniques
● Cognitive restructuring: replacing negative automatic thoughts
● Exposure therapy
● Behavioral experiments: testing your expectations
● Behavioral activation
● Problem-solving skills
● Relaxation
