Managing Stress• we aren’t able to control stressors,

but we do have control over how we respond to it.

• Regressive coping: negative option– sleep to much to avoid/deny prob– take it out on family / friends– exhaustion…give up or lose the battle

• Transformational coping: create something good out of something bad.– admit our anger (address prob more

logically)– adjust our priorities– explore solutions

Problems of labeling Mentally ILL

• stigma attached to label– when label limits up we may become destructive

• its hard enough having an illness– we need to avoid attaching burdens with our own

stereotypes, or irrational fears.

• could arrive at wrong conclusions– influenced by expectations

• could pay too much attention to one source– (parent not kid)

What types of treatments were used to cure the mental

ill throughout history?

Middle Ages (Europe)

• Demonology– Belief that demons caused mental

illness

• Exorcism– Act of removing a demon from an

individual

• Supernatural forces

• Ergotism– rye fields infested with ergot fungus

What was the purpose & end goal?

http://www.cinemaniastigma.com/pages/7/index.htm

What did Pillipe Pinel do?

• Changed Bicétre Asylum in Paris from a madhouse insane asylum to a mental hospital (1773).

• Beginning of humane treatment

Shift in inhumane treatment

• Philippe Pinel • Dorothea Dix

Criteria for commitment to state

mental hospital…• does the person harm self or others?

• can the person take care of basic needs?

• easier to get released than admitted.

Biomedical therapiesmedicalization of deviance?

• reduce dopamine levels which reduce + symptoms)– reserpine & chlorpromazine (THORAZINE)

~Thorazine shuffle …like serpents• side effects Tardive Dyskinesia (tics)

– Involuntary repetitive motions

• atypical antipsychotics – Dopamine & serotonin (- symptoms)– Clozapine (clozaril) & risperidone (risperdal)– Less likely to cause tardive dyskinesia

– ~a no tics… I used a rispy clothespin

*combined w/ life-skills programs & family support

Antipsychotic (neuroleptics) Meds

Antianxiety Meds• Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Ativan) • reduce coordination, alertness, & reaction time.• synergistic effect: intensified with alcohol & other drugs.• Physically addictive • Increase GABA (Works similar to a depressant)

– slows brain activityBenzo valax on the bus and the van…

• Buspar (atypical)- dopamine & serotonin– Less side effects (takes 2-3 wks to kick in)

• All antianxiety drugs must have be take with therapy– “Popping a Xanax” without coping strategies

• Positive reinforcement…leads to addiction• Reduce symptoms without resolving underlying

problems.

Antidepressant Meds• Tricyclics & Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors

– Increase norepinephrine & serotonin

• Trazodone & bupropion- 2nd generation– same side effects

• Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI)

– Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac

~ Hey SSRI, just ZO ya know, 2 PAX is a PRO

• 4 weeks to kick in

• aerobic exercise & cognitive therapy

Bipolar• Lithium- stabilizes glutamate

– Depakote- (anticonvulsive)– if Lithium doesn’t work

Experiment

• Double blind• Placebo effect• Spontaneous

recovery

Primitive Approach• fear & superstitious

belief in demons witchcraft & magic!– Trepanning

(trephining)

Psychosurgery: Lobotomies

• 1930’s– Egas Moniz cutting the nerves that connect the front lobe

and the limbic system caused patients to become calm Moniz later gets Nobel Prize

• Shock them into a coma Hammer & ice pick like instrument into eye Wiggle it around

• From 1936-1954 10,000’s received lobotomies– Good Decreased person’s misery or tension– Bad Created a permanently lethargic, immature,

uncreative person

• 1950’s medicines came out…no more lobotomies*

• H:\AP PSYCH\video clips\biomedical.wmv

Electric Convulsive Therapy(ECT)

• For those who did not respond to drug treatment• History

– 1st introduced in 1938 Wide awake patient is given 100 volts

• Process– Patient is given muscle relaxant and anesthesia – 30 to 60 seconds of current– 3 sessions each week for 2-4 week

• Controversy• 80% show improvement • Side effects = permanent memory loss• Relapse is common

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

• Performed on wide awake patients

• Magnetic energy penetrates only person’s skull– Pulses used to stimulate or dampen activity in

various areas of the cerebral cortex• Stimulation energizes depressed patients relatively

inactive left frontal lobe

• Mixed results

Deep Brain Stimulation

Types of Psychotherapy

• Psychoanalytic…FREUD• Humanistic…ROGERS • Behavioral…JONES…WOLPE • Cognitive…ELLIS…BECK• Cognitive-Behavioral• Group & Family Therapy• Biomedical therapy

• What is the goal of each approach?

• What methods do they use to achieve those goals?

PsychoanalysisUnearth the past, unmask the

present~• analysis of the mind…• bring unconscious motivations into consciousness

– Past (unresolved) conflicts & frustrated urges– emotionally charged memories repressed

• How it influences thoughts, behaviors, & dynamics of relationships with others.

• The material of the unconscious mind needs to be brought in to the conscious mind so it no longer serves as a source of anxiety and confusion for the patient!

“To make the unconscious conscious”

• Childhood conflicts (residue from psychosexual stages)

• Free Association– “analysis of resistance”

• Insight– Dream Analysis ~ interpret latent content wishes,

feelings, conflicts– How impact current relationships?

– Transference– Counter Transference

• Catharsis (release energy divisions of mind)

• Brief psychodynamic therapy…direct questioning

Psychoanalytic: Projective test
