AbstractBackground:Cognitive behavioural models of hypochondriasis assume that dysfunctional illness-related beliefs are involved in the genesis and maintenance of the disorder. The role that other more general dysfunctional beliefs about thoughts play in this disorder has also been highlighted. Internal triggers such as illness-related intrusive thoughts could activate these beliefs.Aim:The present paper examines whether general dysfunctional beliefs about distressing thoughts, such as intolerance of uncertainty, over-estimation of threat, and thought-action fusion-likelihood, mediate between

Abstract:
This chapter argues that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau presents a model for how government can serve all Americans, helping remedy individual injustices and correct larger distortions in our market economy. Providing support to consumers—ranging from financial education to law enforcement to setting regulations that reform dysfunctional practices in the marketplace—contributes to individual well-being and strengthens families. As fully two-thirds of our economic output is consumer driven, shoring up consumers and imposing sensible regulations to curb excesses of corporate power make the economy sounder and more resilient. People are anxious about the future, and they feel the indignity of corporate indifference when their legitimate concerns are ignored or dismissed. If people lose faith in government’s ability to stand up to powerful special interests, their alienation threatens to destabilize a broad and empowered middle class. Promoting and safeguarding a marketplace that serves consumers—all Americans—is essential to our democracy.

Abstract:
Scrupulosity is a form of OCD involving hyperconscientiousness about moral and religious obligations. Scrupulous individuals accord their thoughts great moral and causal significance. They agonize about their inability to control problematic, intrusive, obsessive thoughts, especially about hazards. Thoughts about hazards are not dysfunctional. They arise in the general population at reproductively significant stages in life. The inability to control such thoughts, however, is dysfunctional. The scrupulous compulsively perform rituals and pursue reassurance, which are always undone by their intolerance of uncertainty and the impossibility of definitively establishing the absence of dangers empirically. The “Protestant order of salvation” is but one example of how religions can domesticate scrupulosity. Some religions’ doctrines about moral thought-action fusion and all religious rituals constitute representations and forms of behavior that temporarily evoke strikingly similar obsessions and compulsions in normal religious participants that deplete their cognitive resources, rendering them susceptible to the imposition of conventional interpretations.

Abstract:
At least 70% of adults with ADHD have at least one comorbid disorder. Substance abuse is common. Why are people with ADHD more likely to have anxiety and depression? Perhaps there is shared genetic vulnerability. Perhaps certain environmental risk factors increase both the risk of ADHD and anxiety or depression. Plus, the stresses of living with ADHD make people feel anxious and depressed. Adults with ADHD feel more stress and have more stressors. Adults with ADHD may be especially prone to worry, rumination, and negative automatic thoughts. ADHD is not caused by maladaptive cognitions, but adults with ADHD have more negative automatic thoughts, even when they are not depressed. Maladaptive positive cognitions can be problematic as well and often maintain dysfunctional behavior in adults with ADHD.

This chapter delves deeply into clients’ automatic thoughts (ATs) and examines some of their core beliefs that underlie these ATs. As individuals work through various exposures and associated cognitive restructuring, both therapist and client may notice that certain themes keep reoccurring. Themes in automatic thoughts reflect core beliefs that drive all of the difficulties a person is experiencing. People who have difficulty with anxiety and depression usually have one or more dysfunctional core beliefs about themselves, other people, the world, or the future. Therapists often talk about finding these core beliefs by searching through the layers of ATs and emotions, similar to the process of peeling an onion.

Abstract:
Psychotherapy holds great promise for bringing about therapeutic change, yet a major challenge lies in translating short-term change into change that endures over extended time scales. This chapter tackles the “how-tos” of therapeutic change through the lens of an emerging field of research on internally guided experience, encapsulating thoughts and feelings. The authors first synthesize basic science and clinical research on functional and dysfunctional internal thought, highlighting the importance of alterations in content, processes and corresponding patterns of functional activity and connectivity of the brain’s default network. Next, they introduce a neurocognitive model highlighting spontaneous processes, deliberate processes, and automatic affective processes that promote and inhibit the dynamics of thought. They apply this dynamic framework to understanding mechanisms of change associated with common psychotherapies and review preliminary effects of therapy on brain activity and connectivity within and between large-scale brain networks. Throughout the chapter, the authors note many points of convergence with the integrated memory model, which inspired the edited volume to which this chapter belongs.

Full text
Abstract:
Cognitive behaviour therapy for anxiety disorders is a brief psychological treatment (1 to 16 sessions), based on the cognitive model of emotional disorders. Within this model, it is assumed that it is not events per se, but rather people's expectations and interpretations of events, which are responsible for the production of negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, guilt, or sadness. In anxiety, the important interpretations, or cognitions, concern perceived physical or psychosocial danger. In everyday life, many situations are objectively dangerous. In such situations, individuals’ perceptions are often realistic appraisals of the inherent danger. However, Beck argues that in anxiety disorders, patients systematically overestimate the danger inherent in certain situations, bodily sensations, or mental processes. Overestimates of danger can arise from distorted estimates of the likelihood of a feared event, distorted estimates of the severity of the event, and/or distorted estimates of one's coping resources and the availability of rescue factors. Once a stimulus is interpreted as a source of danger, an ‘anxiety programme’ is activated. This is a pattern of responses that is probably inherited from our evolutionary past and originally served to protect us from harm in objectively dangerous primitive environments (such as attack from a predator). The programme includes changes in autonomic arousal as preparation for flight/fight/fainting and increased scanning of the environment for possible sources of danger. In modern life, there are also situations in which these responses are adaptive (such as getting out of the path of a speeding car). However, when, as in anxiety disorders, the danger is more imagined than real, these anxiety responses are largely inappropriate. Instead of serving a useful function, they contribute to a series of vicious circles that tend to maintain or exacerbate the anxiety disorder. Two types of vicious circle are common in anxiety disorders. First, the reflexively elicited somatic and cognitive symptoms of anxiety become further sources of perceived danger. For example, blushing can be taken as an indication that one has made a fool of oneself, and this may lead to further embarrassment and blushing; or a racing heart may be taken as evidence of an impending heart attack and this may produce further anxiety and cardiac symptoms. Second, patients often engage in behavioural and cognitive strategies that are intended to prevent the feared events from occurring. However, because the fears are unrealistic, the main effect of these strategies is to prevent patients from disconfirming their negative beliefs. For example, patients who fear that the unusual and racing thoughts experienced during panic attacks indicate that they are in danger of going mad and often try to control their thoughts and (erroneously) believe that if they had not done so, they would have gone mad. Within cognitive models of anxiety disorders, at least two different levels of disturbed thinking are distinguished. First, negative automatic thoughts are those thoughts or images that are present in specific situations when an individual is anxious. For example, someone concerned about social evaluation might have the negative thought, ‘They think I'm boring’, while talking to a group of acquaintances. Second, dysfunctional assumptions are general beliefs, which individuals hold about the world and themselves which are said to make them prone to interpret specific situations in an excessively negative and dysfunctional fashion. For example, a rule involving an extreme equation of self-worth with social approval (‘Unless I am liked by everyone, I am worthless’) might make an individual particularly likely to interpret silent spells in conversation as an indication that others think one is boring. Cognitive behaviour therapy attempts to treat anxiety disorders by (a) helping patients identify their negative danger-related thoughts and beliefs, and (b) modifying these cognitions and the behavioural and cognitive processes that normally maintain them. A wide range of procedures are used to achieve these aims, including education, discussion of evidence for and against the beliefs, imagery modification, attentional manipulations, exposure to feared stimuli, and numerous other behavioural assignments. Within sessions there is a strong emphasis on experiential work and on working with high affect. Between sessions, patients follow extensive homework assignments. As in cognitive behaviour therapy for other disorders, the general approach is one of collaborative empiricism in which patient and therapist view the patient's fearful thoughts as hypotheses to be critically examined and tested.

Abstract:
The aim of this chapter is to study the representation of different borders and its role in the portrayal of otherness in 2020 by Javier Moreno. 2020 is a novel built on the thoughts and voices of a series of characters. Amongst these, we can find Nabil, a young man of Saharawi origin; Jorge, a homeless man with Asperger’s; Josefina, a rich young anorexic woman; and her father, Gowan, a successful businessman of Scottish origin, who has disappeared and is involved in the creation of a mystic revolutionary movement. We explore the ways in which the novel builds a dystopic society through the representation of dysfunctional characters embodying different kinds of otherness and the way in which spatiality and the body are key to understanding how this otherness is created and reinforced. With the help of the notions of limbo, non-places, hybridity, simulacrum and the dichotomy center-periphery we examine how borders are raised in the novel and how these affect the characters and the depiction of a society in decline. The notions of void and ruins recur as topics in the novel, and are an obsession for Gowan, who is both an observer and a creator of ruins through a series of actions that represent a wider economic reality where objects are bought, sold and trashed. We study how the body, which in a way is the first barrier between the characters and the outside, plays a significant role in the novel as a marker of ethnicity, physical illness or, as with Josefina, as the recipient and target of an obsession for corporal void, latent in her eating disorder. Decay, in terms of both the character’s bodies and the spaces around them, functions in 2020 as a metaphor of a dysfunctional socio-economic system that is collapsing.

Abstract:
Cognitive hypnotherapy (CH) is an assimilative therapy rooted in cognitive therapy and behavioural therapy, with the addition of hypnosis. It is a psychodynamic therapy that focuses on the unconscious mind (implicit thoughts, actions and emotions) no longer in conscious awareness. This chapter gives a brief synopsis of the hypnotic procedures and protocols that are most pertinent for understanding the case for integration. It gives the background of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and a brief history of how this therapy evolved. It further gives the rationale for the integration of hypnosis with CBT, corroborated with evidence from the literature. CH treatments are documented in some detail in a number of different domains where hypnosis is used as an adjunct to therapy for the treatment of debilitating psychological conditions. The techniques and procedures are designed to desensitise and reprocess dysfunctional cognitions, emotions and memories enabling positive change in cognitive perceptions and visualisation. The author, an academic and experienced clinical practitioner of CH for more than 10 years, recognises that there is much scepticism regarding this therapy. It is hoped that this review will give greater understanding and more credence to this highly effective therapy in both the scientific community and medical profession.

Abstract:
Insomnia is a disorder with significant psychiatric comorbidity. This chapter provides an overview of how to assess and treat insomnia in patients with comorbid psychiatric disorders using cognitive behavioral interventions. First, the authors review the theoretical framework for the behavioral and cognitive perspectives regarding the etiology of chronic insomnia. They then provide a step-by-step guide for the assessment of insomnia, including the use of validated measures and the necessary components of a semi-structured clinical interview needed to identify predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating factors while at the same time paying attention to possible comorbidities and differential diagnostic possibilities that may better explain the patient’s difficulty. How to treat insomnia using cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) techniques of stimulus control therapy and sleep restriction therapy with formal cognitive restructuring in order to target arousal, dysfunctional behaviors and maladaptive thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes is explained. The authors discuss a number of contemporary issues with the delivery of CBT-I including the concurrent use of sleeping medications, the limitations and side effects of CBT-I, and alternative CBT-I delivery models. Further, the chapter examines the efficacy and effectiveness data for CBT-I in patients with psychiatric comorbidities. Lastly, the chapter presents a case example of CBT-I delivery in a patient with insomnia and comorbid major depressive disorder. The authors conclude with recommendations for future research.

Abstract:
This chapter offers closing thoughts that reiterate and summarizes the main points of the book. The chapter explores the ways people make a careful survey of their situation and work out a method to yield growth despite life's contradictions and pressures. If their lives look at times like wind-torn shrubs, that does not mean that they are poorly adapted or lethargic. Instead, it offers evidence of the hard work it takes to thrive in a world where the good life is hard to find. It shows that a dominant myth blaming inequality on laziness has guided, upheld, and justified racial inequalities in South Africa and the world since the earliest mercantile and colonial encounters between Europeans and Africans, and this narrative was never eradicated, despite antislavery, civil rights, and anti-apartheid movements that achieved important legal and structural changes. The struggle to change this social narrative is an unglorified resistance with no clear ending point, but it is essential to the pursuit of the good life. It also shows evidence that in order to generate employment while aiming for the higher goal of seeking good, South Africa must address the history of antiblack disrespect that perpetuates dysfunctional employment structures. The people described in this book refuse to conform to narratives of inevitable happy endings or easy hope, but neither do their stories end only in despair.

Otitis Media (OM) is the most commonly diagnosed childhood illness and has health care related cost of four billion dollars annually. [1] The onset of OM has been directly related to Eustachian Tube (ET) dysfunction. The ET has three main physiological functions, and when these functions are compromised, middle ear (ME) disorders arise. It is also known that specific populations of patients, such as those with cranio-facial abnormalities, such as a cleft palate, have a 100% onset rate of OM. Even though ET dysfunction has been related to OM, the underlying reasons for ET dysfunction in certain

Abstract:
The risk of cardiovascular disease is high in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, making it the main cause of death due to these diseases.[1] A significant part of this increased risk is thought to be directly linked to pathological changes in mechanical response resulting in vascular dysfunction. Mechanical response can be altered by changes in the geometry of the vessel, such as fibrotic thickening of the vascular wall, as well as by disease linked mechanisms affecting the material microstructure, such as non-specific cross-linking of collagen, which is most often evidenced by an incre

Over seven million Americans suffer from chronic venous insufficiency, secondary to valvular dysfunction, with few effective clinical therapies. Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a painful and debilitating disease that affects the superficial and deep veins of the legs. After deep venous thrombosis, the vein valves leaflets become adherent, fold over, or are absorbed into the vein wall. Incompetent valves allow reflux and subsequent pooling of blood in the legs. The resultant CVI causes severe leg edema, skin breakdown, and possible gangrene. Current clinical therapies are only modestly ef

Throughout the cardiac cycle the Mitral Valve (MV) experiences complex mechanical and hemodynamic loading [1]. Dysfunction of the MV may have devastating consequences and has been associated with high morbidity and mortality. Surgical repair techniques are available to treat malfunctioning MVs [2]. However, it is likely that interventions such as surgical repair may cause alterations in the loading conditions and associated deformations of the MV. In consequence such alterations could result in detrimental remodeling and disturb normal valve function. It is therefore essential to characterize
