Judith Beck Phd talks about Cognitive Therapy

[simysimss]

brilliant video some very interesting points

[leapsplashafrog]

Cbt is pushed by politicians and self serving 'therapists' because its cheap and no-one has to measure long term outcomes. Fact is meditating is cheaper and is being shown to be effective. Doctors push drugs for drug companys who tell politicians what to do. The public pays the bills and takes the side effects. Here's the truth. Meddled with hospital births, bad parenting, advanced capitalism and the nature of our minds cause mental health problems and discontentment. Anybody care enough to say

[greggraffin]

@MegaPsychgirl Yes, CBT has been shown to be the most empirically supported treatment for a wide number of issues. BUT, that judgment of a therapy relies solely on the current state of our research methodology for outcome studies. Here's a thought, maybe there are things that we cannot yet accurately measure. Maybe you should go back to school and learn a bit about the limitations of empirically supported treatments...

[hornsofdestruction]

CBT is not a "cure". No treatment is a cure. However, it is indeed documented in scientific journals that CBT is more effective in treating anxiety and depression than other modes of talk therapy. In addition, while hormonal imbalances may need medication to support, CBT helps you manage the emotions and thoughts regardless of the root of the problem. The depressed mood may not go away without medication, but CBT can help you manage better when the mood onset happens.

Or you could check if the client was oh lets see.... abused, have a drug dependence, in a dynamically damaging family, been exposed to murder, been in foster care their entire life, have a anti-social personality, have schizo-affective disorder, have....well hey I am sure if you give them a vitamin supplement with the extras they won't need to come back either. Ok, that was a bit harsh, health does play a role, but lets not talk with such 'all-or-nothing' (cbt term) thinking, it isn't the do all

[CloudSharePsy]

@MegaPsychgirl There are a few things wrong with your reply; however, I do understand your frustration concerning ignorance and 'new-age' therapies. My contention is with the statement that CBT is the preferred method. This statement is too vague, as CBT is not always effective or even efficacious for some type of mental health issues. Additionally, empirically based does not mean it will always be an evidenced based practice; 2 other main components missing are client and therapist experience.

1:30 "One of the first things we have to do is BLAH!

One of the first things you should do is check omega6-3 ratio, check diet for excitotoxins and inflammatory foods if you really want to help your patient. Oh ya you want your patient to come back for 3 thirty minute sessions for $250. Oh ya forget about diet. Keep focusing on those distortions in there thinking that will guarantee them coming back! Tell them to keep eating lots of sugar to keep them awake during your session.

this was very practical and dr. beck seems very nice

[annomynouse]

Great somebody said about cbt is destructive and thats what i'm going to be going to what am i suposed to do then do get rid of this feeling

[RaeRae914]

@annomynouse say again?

[Neilgs]

This is why CBT is extraordinarily destructive! It says, as madam says, "you don't have to stay with your thought, anxieties, stressors, you can figure out what they are and change them." What she doesn't tell you: The process of gaining access to what you are feeling, why your are feeling what you are feeling, re-occurrence, or relapses therein, is precisely because you are not gaining access to the Language of your feelings and integrating them in terms of past actual events (childhood, etc)

[Neilgs]

Management and control of stress and anxieties is NOT to be confused with Gaining access to underlying feelings and traumas. There is no such thing as distortive thought process. There are fragmented and disassociated feelings BUT they are attached to REAL experiences; however, symbolically represented. To gain access to their underlying realities to which they are attached to (i.e. childhood traumas, etc.), implies specifically, not dispelling but connecting to the past...free association..

[anotherriver]

wow she's a great therapist!

[SabretoothSnowMan]

I have found out that it is not according to a scientific method that is properly regorously tested. It is theory on top of theory; kind of like art rather than science.

That makes no sense to me.

[ibfreetubeme]

I've been interested in psychotherapy (counselling) for 10 years, have been involved with Lifeline (telephone counselling) for that time also and have just started my diploma in counselling. I have a great deal of respect for CBT or CT, but I know that it is one of many models to apply. A skilled counsellor will use a combination of disciplines according to the individual's needs, and process, as it happens. Psychotherapy works, and can be life changing.

[vanityfair30]

Gee, Dr Beck looks lie Barack Obama!! Great video, CGT is a fantastic tool.

[MikeSkiera]

@vanityfair30 haha she does

[Jibbie49]

The "Beck Diet Solution" book is well worth reading, as she gives all the guidelines for CT and dieting.

[dave24ie]

Cognitive therapy dosn't work for everyone!

[szt1964]

Although that is true to some extend I 'd rather say not every therapist is helpful to every client.

[mail2gazza]

@dave24ie

No kind of therapy works for everyone! That's one of the reasons that there are so many kinds of therapy. There are also many variables that affect outcomes.

[SabretoothSnowMan]

There is evidence that it only helps SOME people; maybe the counseling is not adiquate in terms of evolution.

I am starting to become very anti-counseling after the things I have found out about it.

[psychopathy80]

@SabretoothSnowMan

like what? what have you "found out" about it?

[selfhelpfan]

Cognitive therapy combined with pills helped to cure my schizoaffective disorder.
