“…This is achieved by altering pain triggers, pain-maintaining cognitions (eg, catastrophizing), and emotions such as anxiety, helplessness, and depression. The modifi cation of pain-relevant beliefs is achieved by cognitive strategies, cognitive restructuring [14], problem-solving training [15], and by the acquisition of new strategies of pain coping, such as relaxation, distraction from pain, imagery, and stress-reduction techniques [16]. This approach also provides an experience of the ability to interfere with the perception of pain and boosting self-effi cacy expectations.…”

This article considers four broad classes of psychological techniques and their effects on fibromyalgia (FM) pain. A literature search identified 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and operant-behavioral therapy (OBT), five relaxation RCTs, five biofeedback RCTs, five hypnotherapy RCTs, and two writing intervention RCTs. For psychoanalytic therapy in FM, no RCTs have been published. The highest effect sizes (r = 0.53-2.14) for pain reduction are found after CBT and OBT group treatments. Relaxation as a single treatment has not been proven useful. Hypnotherapy and writing intervention have demonstrated mild treatment effects, whereas psychological treatment is effective in FM pain. Considering the heterogeneity of FM, the promising effects of matched interventions such as CBT and OBT with pharmacotherapy, exercise, and other treatment domains require further research.

“…He developed a brand of therapy that seemed to be concerned first and foremost with imposing rationalism upon people who had been thinking and acting irrationally, rather than exploring the latter as an end in itself, through empathy or interpretation -hence 'rational therapy' (Ellis, 1955). The latter, together with British behaviour therapy could be the vehicle for a new profession of clinical psychologists, who could derive their unique authority and justify their salaries from being 'scientist practitioners'.…”

CBT in the British NHS: Vague imposition or imposition of vagueness?

The multi-faceted controversy created by the ascendance of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in the British mental health industry is outlined. The historical and philosophical nature of this controversy is traced, by looking at CBT as a psychiatric form of treatment and eclectic form of applied psychology. CBT has become a policy battleground, which can be understood by putting its modernist credentials and its appeal to rationalism, pragmatism and techno-centric optimism into a mixed pre-modern and post-modern context. Given that there are diverse representatives of these realms of belief alive today in our society, the current singular policy emphasis on CBT is anti-democratic and insensitive to diversity. The paradox of this restrictive policy is that CBT itself is now a very diverse set of practices held together mainly by a faith in evidencebased practice. Consequently, a version of pluralism is being tolerated on the supply side of mental health services but a full offer of true choice is not being made on the demand side.Keywords: CBT; mental health policy Les TCC dans le syste`me national de sante´britannique: vague imposition ou imposition du vague?

Terapia Cognitivo Comportamentale nel Sistema Sanitario Nazionale Britannico: Vaga imposizione o vaghezza imposta?In quest'articolo viene delineata la sfaccettata controversia creata dall'ascesa della Terapia Cognitivo Comportamentale (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT) all'interno dell'industria Britannica della salute mentale. Viene tracciata la natura storica e filosofica di questa controversia, osservando la CBT come forma psichiatrica di trattamento e come forma eclettica di psicologia applicata. La CBT e`diventata campo di battaglia politico, che puo`essere compreso ponendo in un contesto misto pre-moderno e post-moderno le sue credenziali moderniste ed il suo appello al razionalismo, pragmatismo e ottimismo tecno-centrico. Considerando che oggi esistono differenti rappresentative di questi domini di credenza nella nostra societa`, l'attuale enfasi politica sulla CBT e`anti-democratica e insensibile alla diversita`.

The intellectual origins of Rational Psychotherapy

In this paper we attempt to understand the intellectual origins of Albert Ellis' Rational Psychotherapy (now known as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy). In his therapeutic practice Ellis used a 'lumper' argument to replace the focus of change in psychoanalysis: not the lengthy uncovering and reworking of the individual's personal history, but the demands in self-talk through which the client is currently disturbed. In constructing around this the persuasive (rhetorical) package that became his therapy, Ellis drew on a number of popular intellectual movements, operationalism, General Semantics, the holistic theory of emotion, cognitive psychology, and psychoanalysis itself.
