Education as psychiatric intervention: the cognitive-behavioral context.

1. The cognitive behavioral treatment context is essentially an educational function that focuses on eliciting changes in attitude and judgment, values, methods of cognitive processing, correction of distorted thinking, re-examination of internalized core assumptions, and subsequently, behavior. 2. The behavioral framework presumes that behavior is learned and can be unlearned or relearned, and that psychiatric disorders are severely complicated by maladaptive and dysfunctional attempts to compensate. 3. The cognitive models involve validation, remotivation, resocialization, reality testing through increasing coping and problem solving abilities, and increasing self esteem and a sense of personal control.

The undertreatment of anxiety: overcoming the confusion and stigma.

1. The patient, the nurse, and organizational variables all interact in a dynamic and complex manner, which all have an impact on decisions about intervention. 2. The numbers and variety of agents ordered as PRN indicate the responsibility for treatment placed by physicians on nurses and their reliance on appropriate and accurate nursing assessment. 3. Much of the stigma surrounding symptoms of anxiety and their treatment is based not only on the nature of the illness, but on the perceptions and beliefs concerning the use of anti-anxiety agents.
