Family Therapy: History, Theory, and Practice Ch. 11
1. Acceptance: 1. Neil Jacobson's term for loving your partner as a complete person and not focusing on differences. This
strategy may promote change in couples.
2. The therapist's personal and professional comfortableness with a family.
2. Act as if: A role playing strategy where persons act as if they are the persons they want to be ideally
3. Baseline: a recording of the occurrence of targeted behaviors before an intervention is made
4. Anatomy of Intervention Model (AIM): a cognitive behavioral strategy where the therapist learns to play many roles
and be flexible. It involves five phases: 1. Introduction
2. Assessment
3. Motivation
4. Behavior Change
5. Termination
5. Behaviorism: a form of treating individuals where therapists focus on changing observable behaviors through such
methods as reinforcement, extinction, and shaping.
6. Charting: a procedure that involves asking clients to keep an accurate record of problematic behaviors. The idea is to get
family members to establish a baseline from which interventions can be made and to show clients how the changes they are
making work.
7. Classical Conditioning: the oldest form of behaviorism, in which a stimuli that is originally neutral is paired up with
another event to elicit certain emotions through association.
8. Cognitions: Thoughts
9. cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): an approach to working with families that takes into account the impact of
cognitions (thoughts) and behaviors on modifying couples interactions.
10. Four phases of sexual responsiveness: excitement, plateau, orgasm, resolution
11. Functional Family Therapy: a type of behavioral family therapy that is basically systemic.
12. Parent-Skills Training: the therapist serves as a social learning educator whose prime responsibility is to change the
parent's responses to a child or children, through both thoughts and actions
13. Premack Principle: The concept, developed by David Premack, that a more-preferred activity can be used to reinforce a
less-preferred activity. Family members must first do less pleasant activities in order to do pleasurable ones.
14. Schema: core beliefs of an individual or couple.
