Provocative

Psychotherap



This method uses a variety of procedures in an effort to change

feeling, and behavior of clients including:

Exaggerations

Criticisms

Insults

Other ‚Shock Tactics‛

This method of psychotherapy depends on HUMOR as the major therapeutic

modality, attempting to make the client see the ridiculousness of his thinking and acting,

so that, once the client sees stupidity of his thinking he will no longer be able to enjoy

the nonsensical behavior of the past.

Précis



Theor

y

There are 10 ASSUMPTIONS relative to the Theory of Provo

1. People change in response to a

challenge.

2. They can change if they want to.

3. They have more potential for

change than generally assumed.

4. Psychological fragility of clients is

generally overrated.

5. All maladaptive attitudes and

behavior can be drastically

altered.

6. Current experiences are as important as

childhood ones.

7. A client’s interaction with the therapist

reveals his dynamics.

8. People are relatively easy to understand.

9. Judicious expressions of ‚therapeutic hate

& joyful sadism‛ can be paradoxically

beneficial.

10. Nonverbal messages are more important

than verbal ones; how something is

said is more important than what is

said.

Ther

y

The use of confrontation

The eschewing of ‚professionalism‛

The use of mordant humor with the interaction of getting down

quickly to the heart of the problem

The CLIENT is provoked by the THERAPIST:

(a) to affirm self worth

(b) to assert – himself

(c) to defend himself

(d) to test reality in terms of the therapist’s

challenges

‚The intent is to HELP by MOBILIZING the CLIENT’S

DEFENSES through this SARCASM.‛



Su Provocative therapy depends

strongly on the concept of

reactance theory and on thetheory of paradoxical intention.

It is a procedure that

apparently deviates from theusual friendly and accepting

role expected of the therapist

and attempts to deal directly

and firmly with clients.

Provocative therapy reflects the influe

Rational – Emotive Therapy.



Psycho -imagination

Therapy



Many methods of psychotherapy employ

visualization of images as the major method of

personality change. These includes:

o Autogenic Training

o Cognitive Behavior Therapy

o Covert Conditioning

o Eidetic Psychotherapy

o Implosive Psychotherapy

Préc

The various methods differ somewhat in their theories and procedures, but

more commonalities than differences.

o Psycho – Imagination The

o Radix Neo – Reichian Th

o Reciprocal Inhibition

o Relaxation Therapy



Theor

y Methods are concerned with covert and overt behavior. (Thinking & Action)

The two are considered equivalent states, balanced and interactive. (Chathe other one)

The intent of the therapist to attempt to change overt behavior through changing covert

behavior.

This means attempting to get the person who is being treated to visualize som

direction believed to generate overt behavioral changes.

Visualization can be: (a) Rehearsal

(b) Retrospective Analysis

(c) Covert Conditioning



Therap

y A client is grossly overweight and has tried ‚everything‛ to reduce weight, but

works. He now comes to a psychotherapist who uses PSYCHO – IMAGINATION. The

might now ask the client to relax and to visualized.

…

Still, another type of visualization is a kind of Counter – Conditioning, getting theperson to avoid certain behaviors.

In the implosive technique, the therapist may continue such visualiza

hours.



Summar

y The use of IMAGINATION & VISUALIZATION may be considered the obverse of body the

a) By generating images which relate to successful behavior

b) By attempting to condition the individual through associating either plea

imaginings

This general procedure of psycho – i

therapy can be quite effective in deali variety of behavioral changes.



Psychodrama



Psychodrama consist of a variety of

ACTION TECHNIQUES of the action – fantasy

type on which a person acts out a situation with

the assistance of others who play roles also.

y

The Theory of Psychodrama is an attempt to get the person act in an

interactive situation so that the person is simultaneously thinking, feeling, andacting in a spontaneous manner for the purpose of learning more about

himself or herself either through self – perception of personal behavior or

through the comments and observations of others.

Strategic Thera



STRATEGIC THERAPY is also known as:

Systems Therapy

Brief Therapy

Précis

SYSTEMS THERAPIST: does not care about origins of the problems

generally operate in terms of paradoxical behaviors

Uses advising exactly the opposite to a logical process.



Theory

BASIC PRINCIPLES Of The Theory Of Systems Therapy:

1. Concern is with the interrelationship between the various individuals in a social system.

2. There is no concern with history or causation. Systems therapy is concerned with here-an

ahistorical.

3. Maladjustment is seen as a dynamic process, maintained by the reinforcing behavior of p

the system to keep the maladjusted behavior from changing.

4. The treatment procedure generally has common-sense and paradoxical elements.

5. The treatment process generally involves careful examination of the whole system, determ

cut-goal and making specific suggestions with the entire therapy to take place within a

period, usually from 5-10 sessions.



Therap

o REFRAIMING – getting one or more

of the people in the system to see theproblem in a different way

as possible where there is evidence of a

Therapist : What led you to go gambling?

Client : I guess I'd been gambling for a few months before I got high. I was bored.

Therapist : What is the experience of gambling like?

Client : I really feel alive.Therapist : When did you first use again?

Client : I spent too much money on gambling, and my wife yelled at me the same way she used to when I got high on cocain

really. It wasn't fair.

Therapist : What do you do when your wife gets angry at you for spending money?

Client : I just say, "Yeah, you're right." And then I go away. Then she hassles me some more. There are times I blow up, but

it go by.

Therapist : Sounds like when you were gambling, you were excited. So I don't get it--what went wrong? Why did you need th

Client : I guess I just needed more of the high, you know. My wife and I were fighting more. The pressure was getting to me

started on the cocaine.

Therapist: How did that cocaine work for you?

Client: I was excited I felt really powerful



Client: I was excited. I felt really powerful.

Therapist : What went wrong? What led you start using alcohol, too?

Client: I got scared. I was up for 3 days. The alcohol helped me come down and sleep.

Therapist : Sounds scary to me. How did you get through that scared period? You tolerated it somehow for 3 days.

Client: It was kind of a blank, mostly. I felt I had to fix it somehow. That's when I started drinking.

Therapist : How did you know alcohol would work?

Client: I've used it to bring me down before.

Therapist : I hear that you realized something needed to be done, and you knew you needed something to slow you down, a

Therapist : So how is this a problem for you now?

Client: Well, I lost my family, almost lost my business, and I'm facing another DUI.

Therapist : So where do you want to go now? Why are you here?

Client : I want to get sober again. I went back to AA, but now I can't stay sober more than a day.

Therapist : When you were determined to stay sober, you were successful. What's different about the way you're trying to do



Client : Well, now, I'll leave the meeting and go get high.

Therapist : And how is that working for you?

Client : It's not working! I just start feeling worse about myself. I've been through so much already. I really just need to stop.

Therapist : It sounds to me like you have incredible inner strength. What keeps you going?

Client: I don't want to die.

Therapist : It sounds like you have a very strong, competent side that wants the best for you and wants to live. Let's use that com

back on track and rebuild your life. What do you think?

Client : I would like that.

Therapist : Let's begin by figuring out where you are now. On a scale of 1 to 10, on which "1" is the worst you could feel and "

successful," where are you now?

Client: Well, now I feel like an "8," but I know it's temporary. When I go back home, I'll probably get back to a "2" right away

Therapist : That's good because slow change is more important than fast change. You really can't count on fast change to last. So

"2," what would it take to move you to a "3"?

Client: I guess more of what I know works or what used to work, anyway. Going to meetings or calling my sponsor. That kind



Therapist : Sounds good. You said now you go to AA meetings and get high afterward. What did you do afterwards when yo

you stayed sober?

Client : Went home. Watched TV. Had fun with my wife; sometimes we made love. Now that she's not there, I really dread

empty. I just go back and stare at the ceiling.

Therapist : So when you don't have things to do, you get antsy.

Client : Yeah. I guess so. I get lonesome.

Therapist : Are you bored now?

Client : Sort of. Not really here all the way, you know what I mean? Sort of empty.

Therapist : That's interesting. Despite the fact that you feel empty, you can still function. I think there is something internally

has not come out. For some reason, it has been suppressed. My guess is that the boredom comes when you suppress that sid

Therapist : I think it's right here--let's see if we can bring it out a bit. Tell me about a time when you felt tremendous pleasur

Therapist : Some time this week if you're willing to try something, and only if you're willing, try to bring back that experiencwas like and how difficult it was to get there.

Client : Okay. Maybe I'll try that.

Therapist : I'm sure there have been a number of things in your life that you've done right, otherwise you wouldn't have surv

you've had. It would help if you could think about those successful or effective behaviors.

Client : I can try.

Therapist : Now that we've identified that you have all this strength inside of you--and you still do--how do we use it?

Client : I guess if I could go to AA and stay sober when I get home, that would at least be a start.

Therapist : What do you think is going to happen at AA?

Client : It's going to be good to sit there and know I'm not hiding.

Summar

y 24 hour therapy is an extreme example of a paradoxical treatment: attempting to h

- This therapy has all kinds of legal – ethical implications.

- It is indeed strong medicine and seems called for when all oth

methods either have not worked or cannot work for people

really have the potential for adequacy.

- This is a logical extension of reality therapy.

Theory



TheoryZaslow’s theory can be visualized somewhat as follows:

Imagine a triangle at the top corner representing psychological normality

Lower left hand corner represents aggressiveness – hostility – anger

Lower right hand corner represents apathy – rejection – escape - avoidance

Zaslow’s genius

has been to combine

both at the same time

– to show love and

concern and to enrage

the person.

The basic theory may be conceived as follows:

The schizophrenics rejects everything and is

committed to a course of avoidance. Throu

down procedure, rage is engendered, and in

rage, the person finally looks at the therapi

with pure anger.
