Several improvements of Self Help via Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
The concept of the conditioned reflex or skill is familiar to everyone. We also know that skill is formed by multiple reiteration of a type of behavioral reaction during any times. This effect has been studied in details, so we will not concentrate on it.
Now let's turn to our memory. How to memorize a poem? How to remember the state capital or a word in a foreign language? A common method is to repeat. As it is said – «reiteration is mother of learning». And as we have mentioned above, we will call a skill something that was formed by behavior type reiteration.
Therefore
Knowledge = Skill = Repeat * Behavior
Psychosis is illogical knowledge. There a lot of discussions what has to be considered as illogical so let’s assume illogic as index, with the value everyone can choose himself.
We obtain
Psychosis = Illogic * Knowledge = Illogic * Skill = Illogic * (Repeat * Type of behavior)
or
Psychosis = Illogic * (Repeat * Type of behavior)
Interpreting the results we see that the reason of psychosis is a reiteration of illogical behavior.
The reason of reiteration of illogical behavior is often a high level of discomfort felt by people. If there is an idea that brings relief, people will scroll through it many times, regardless of degree of absurdity. This effect is observed in all, without exception, the people I'm meeting, so we can assume that it is common for most
Example:
Here is a simple example that demonstrates an effective strategy for the treatment of psychosis.
Let's say a person believes that 5 multiplied by 5 is 40.
Lat's call this the "multiplication table delirium". If a person repeats that 5x5 = 25 big number of times, then when a situation arises to multiply 5x5, he counts in right way. I mean the problem is solved, the person is healthy. As you know, at the moment there are no pills that guarantee replacement of 40 for 25 in conditional-reflex chain 5x5 = 40.
Mentioned above have been checked in practice.
For people who had never contacted with psychiatry, the above-mentioned examples will lead to sense that it can be read in any textbook that describes the basics of Psychiatry. If it is about you, you can easily check it too. Just ask questions to any psychiatrist or look up in any textbook.
