Înțelegerea standardelor exigente în terapia bazată pe scheme
Terapia bazată pe scheme identifică standardele exigente ca o schemă disfuncțională ce generează stres și epuizare, prin asocierea valorii de sine cu performanța. Persoanele afectate adoptă stiluri de adaptare precum predarea, evitarea sau supracompensarea. Practicile de autocompasiune, acceptarea imperfecțiunii și programarea pauzelor ajută la depășirea acestor standarde nocive.
Efectul Placebo în Psihoterapie: Utilizare Corectă și Abuzuri
The placebo effect in the medical field is well-known, where patients experience symptom improvement simply because they believe the treatment they are receiving is effective, even if it has no active therapeutic properties. In psychotherapy, the placebo effect can play a significant role in treatment success when used appropriately. However, there is also the risk of abuse by practitioners of pseudo-psychology who exploit this effect unethically. The placebo effect operates through the patient's positive expectations and the therapeutic relationship, triggering biological and psychological responses that lead to real symptom improvement. This can be mediated by the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and endorphins, which can reduce pain and improve well-being. In psychotherapy, the placebo effect can be used ethically and effectively to enhance therapy benefits through building a trusting therapeutic relationship, therapeutic rituals, and positive suggestions. However, some practitioners abuse the placebo effect unethically and potentially harmfully by selling ineffective products, promoting unvalidated techniques, and emotionally manipulating patients. The placebo effect can be a valuable ally in psychotherapy when used ethically and informatively, but its abuse by pseudo-psychologists poses a real danger to patients. Education, awareness, and evidence-based practice promotion are essential to protect public mental health and ensure that the benefits of psychotherapy are safely and effectively accessible to all.
