The Counting Method as Exposure Therapy: Revisions and Case Examples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Revisions in the theoretical basis and practical applications of the Counting Method are described based on clinical and research experience with this technique, which aims to reduce intrusive traumatic memories. The importance of the role of imaginal exposure, rather than the therapeutic alliance, is emphasized, and the advantages of a more parsimonious, streamlined approach to exposure therapy are highlighted. Five clinical examples are offered to illustrate the range of application of the Counting Method with different traumatic stressors and different therapeutic challenges.

O21: Exposure Therapy’s Two Cultures: Anxiety-Reducing vs. Anxiety-Increasing Treatment
Exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (“exposure therapy”) is the most effective psychological treatment for anxiety disorders. However, popular exposure-based treatments differ substantially in how exposure is delivered, and emerging research indicates that the effectiveness of exposure is closely tied to its manner of delivery. The author will present research indicating tha...

Background & Objective: Ki-67 evaluation is an essential tool to define luminal A and B breast cancers, which is not yet systematized. The International Ki67 in Breast Cancer Working Group suggests the counting of 500 or 1000 cancer cells, which is a time-consuming process. Therefore, novel methods, such as the Eye-10 method and stepwise counting strategy, are proposed to facil...

Materials and Methods: In vitro matured bovine oocytes than were initially exposed to electrical pulse, used for cel...
متن کاملPeriodic Oscillations in the Analysis of Algorithms and Their Cancellations
A large number of results in analysis of algorithms contain fluctuations. A typical result might read “The expected number of . . . for large n behaves like log2 n + constant + delta(log2 n), where delta(x) is a periodic function of period one and mean zero.” Examples include various trie parameters, approximate counting, probabilistic counting, radix exchange sort, leader election, skip lists,...
