Psychological Therapies
5) Rational-emotive behavior: Based on the belief that the reason behind most psychological problems was irrational thoughts
Albert Ellis: Believed people cognitively perceive themselves and their world in their own particular way, and those perceptions (cognitions) guide reactions to events and people
7) Psychodynamic therapist: Still believes strongly in the unconscious influences of the mind, conducts therapy face-to-face, focusing more on current relationships as opposed to the Freudian focus on past experiences
6) Person-centered therapy: Therapist honors the inherent human potential of the client by acting as a non judgmental facilitator of the therapeutic process (four central principles below)
Carl Rogers: Believed a person’s psychologically troubled life was caused by the divergence of the real self from the ideal self
8) Behavioral therapies: Uses classical conditioning or operant conditioning to help clients unlearn maladaptive behaviors and replace them with more adaptive or healthy behaviors
Mary Cover Jones: Demonstrated the principles of desensitization (counterconditioning) by eliminating a fear with the unpleasant stimulus

Preventative Approaches
11) Social Determinants: Factors such as poverty, violence, economic and political inequality, and even social media that are associated with increased risk of mental illness
10) Preventive care: Looks to stop mental illness and then trying to change those societal factors that can lead to psychological disorders
9) Resilience: The ability of individuals or communities to absorb the trauma associated with an event or crisis and essentially bounce back
Communities showed resilience in response to Covid-19 by everyone doing their part to stay safe and trying to support and help small businesses recover.
12) Community psychology: Involves the relationship between individuals and the community and addresses social, economic, and political factors that lead to mental illness and identifies steps to take to reduce or prevent mental illness
