Stress inoculation training for maladaptive anger: Comparison of group counseling versus computer guidance

Cognitive and Behavioral Treatments for Anxiety and Depression in a Patient with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD): A Case Report and Clinical Discussion

“…Such was certainly the case with Mr. S. It is, thus, reasonable to assume that a more extensive “standard” educational component both prior to and immediately following ICD implantation may “protect” against the development of significant ICD-related adjustment difficulties that require more extensive treatment. Similar inoculatory effects have been reported in other clinical populations (Meichenbaum & Deffenbacher, 1988; Ross & Berger, 1996; Schneider & Nevid, 1993; Timmons, Oehlert, Sumerall, & Timmons, 1997). While ICD education at our facility has typically been accomplished via clinical health psychologists and graduate trainees, this treatment component could certainly be delivered by any number of non-mental health providers (e.g., nurses, physician assistants).…”

Effects of a brief worksite stress management program on coping skills, psychological distress and physical complaints: a controlled trial

“…These trainings follow the rationale that the way an individual conceptualizes a situation will determine his or her emotional reaction and these trainings are, therefore, mainly aimed at modifying specific cognitive patterns (Meichenbaum 1973;Timmons et al 1997;DolezalWood et al 1998;Gruber et al 2001). However, employees in the workplace are generally not psychiatric patients who suffer from distorted thinking or impaired cognitive functioning.…”

Development and formative evaluation of a Web-based stress management program to promote psychological well-being

“…To date, most web-based stress management programs have used cognitive-behavioral intervention techniques (Selmi et al, 1990 ;Timmons et al, 1997 ;Dolezal-Wood et al, 1998 ;White et al, 2000 ;Gruber et al, 2001;Wright et al, 2002 ;Carlbring et al, 2003 ;Shimazu et al, 2005). Timmons et al (1997) compared the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral computerguided program with a group counseling approach, and found no differences in treatment satisfaction between the two groups.…”

“…Timmons et al (1997) compared the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral computerguided program with a group counseling approach, and found no differences in treatment satisfaction between the two groups. Frequently used cognitive behavioral intervention approaches combine emotion-focused or problem-focused coping strategies, self-monitoring of stress intensity, maintenance of an introspective journal of one's thoughts and feelings, and cognitive reappraisal.…”
