Description

In this video, Dr. Steven D. Hollon demonstrates his approach to cognitive therapy for depression through the lens of a virtual environment. Cognitive therapy for depression is a cognitive-behavioral-affective intervention that encourages patients to use their own behaviors to test the accuracy of their beliefs in the service of resolving their affective distress.

Watch as Dr. Hollon works through interventions with the client, including but not limited to examining the context of childhood antecedents and how the core beliefs developed, the exploration of the therapeutic relationship or how the patient thinks and feels about the therapist in the working context, as well as helping the client understand the unlearning of compensatory strategies and safety behaviors.

During the demonstration, Dr. Hollon works with a male client struggling with mood, feelings of low self-worth, and what appeared to be the loss of his ability to do the things he used to love to do. During the interview, Dr. Hollon discusses with host, Dr. Robert DeRubeis.

This session features clients portrayed by actors on the basis of a composite of different cases.

Approach

Cognitive therapy for depression is a cognitive-behavioral-affective intervention that encourages patients to use their own behaviors to test the accuracy of their beliefs in the service of resolving their affective distress.

The original 1970’s version focused almost exclusively on current life situations with attention to early life antecedents starting only once the patient was largely asymptomatic and the treatment process only if something were going wrong.

The 1990’s extension to chronic depression and depressions superimposed on underlying personality disorders (sometimes known as schema therapy) incorporated the notion of a “three-legged stool” in which current life situations are examined in the context of childhood antecedents (how the core beliefs developed) and the therapeutic relationship (how the patient thinks and feels about the therapist in the working context).

The operative notion is that more complicated patients only have one way of looking at the world and tend to use compensatory strategies (safety behaviors) that “rub other people the wrong way”. The notion is to use the treatment process to help the patient learn to drop his or her compensatory strategies (safety behaviors) so as to test their underlying core beliefs. Two patients, one relatively straightforward and the other quite complex, are used to highlight the similarities and differences between these approaches to cognitive therapy.
