Stress management skill can be culturally different due to the different parenting styles that is more popular in a culture. Diet is also related to stress as the mind and body are interrelated. Some evidences shown that staple diet had given rise to Parkinson or Alzheimer. Thus, nutrition and psychotherapy need to go together for effective stress management. Much evidence has supported the use of Ketogenic diet to manage stress. Psychotherapy, particularly schema therapy could manage stress through focusing on creating disassociation between our own vulnerability and our internalized critical voice. US recently focused on balancing imbalanced neurotransmitters in reducing stress symptoms. Lab tests can help detect the levels of our neurotransmitters and identify any imbalance of individual neurotransmitters contributing to stress related disorders, which are now available in Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":222114,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychotherapy, Counselling and Psychiatry: Theory Research & Clinical Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133972611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cheung","doi":"10.35996/1234/4/CBTDEPRESSIONSTROKE","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35996/1234/4/CBTDEPRESSIONSTROKE","url":null,"abstract":"Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common psychiatric manifestation of stroke, which has a devastating impact on survivors’ quality of life with an increasing burden on caregivers and the public medical system. Even so, no meta-analysis on specific psychotherapeutic treatment has been conducted. How effective is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in reducing depressive symptoms in randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) targeting community-dwelling stroke survivors with PSD? Through systematic procedures of screening and data extraction, four RCTs were synthesized for meta-analysis (N= 270) on effect size estimates. Overall, CBT groups showed significant improvement in depression compared with controls. Methodological quality, intensity of CBT, and duration of post-treatment follow-up proved critical to treatment effects. Despite the potential threat of external validity, this paper had reviewed their content comprehensively with the implication of facilitating public understanding, research, and service development of PSD using CBT. To fill the knowledge gap, standardized protocol and further subgroup analyses are necessary.","PeriodicalId":222114,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychotherapy, Counselling and Psychiatry: Theory Research & Clinical Practice","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127745680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Challenging Beliefs about the Psychotherapy of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)","authors":"L. Gaston","doi":"10.35996/1234/4/BELIEFSPTSD","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35996/1234/4/BELIEFSPTSD","url":null,"abstract":"Clinical guidelines for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have recommended using cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) only. This is not surprising given that almost all randomized clinical trials were conducted by CBT researchers examining the efficacy of CBT. The two types of standardized CBT -- trauma-focused and non-trauma-focused – were both found to be equally efficacious for treating PTSD. However, their observed efficacy is limited -- only partial PTSD remission in only 50% of informed and selected volunteers. Beyond a limited efficacy, claims of high efficacy are often made for trauma-focused CBT, although these modalities were repeatedly found to be associated with attrition and iatrogenic effects. Whenever dynamic and supportive therapies were included in controlled clinical trials, these therapeutic modalities were provided in non-representative ways. Furthermore, any differential findings between therapies disappeared at follow-up, invaliding any conclusion about the superiority of CBT. Only one randomized clinical trial had compared the efficacy of dynamic therapy vs. CBT for treating PTSD, but no differential efficacy was found (Brom et al., 1989). Taken together, these findings suggest that there is a pro- CBT bias in funding, research, and guidelines in the field of PTSD. This pro-CBT bias needs to be acknowledged and corrected. In the meantime, clinicians need to rely on their own judgment, using integrative approaches for treating PTSD in a flexible manner.","PeriodicalId":222114,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychotherapy, Counselling and Psychiatry: Theory Research & Clinical Practice","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123377414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lives of individuals who suffer from CP may alter in various ways. Particularly, in terms of health-related quality of life after diagnosis. Even though, there has been significant increase in chronic pain research, this area of research continues to offer patients significant health repercussions.\u0000Findings: This research has discovered that, there still, is an urgent need for improvements in regard to treatment and quality of chronic pain management care. A range of literatures assessed several aspects in which CP alters the patients’ lives, as well as its potential repercussions in the workplace, on the dynamic of patients’ families, and their social environments.\u0000Methods: An exploratory review of literature alongside the implementation of a small exemplary pilot study that was solely undertaken to help further validate the results that were acquired via review of literature.
