Psychological Rehabilitation of COVID-19
Published in Wenguang Xia, Xiaolin Huang, Rehabilitation from COVID-19, 2021
Note: It is best to use cognitive psychotherapy after the rehabilitated patients have a relatively stable mood. This method is not suitable for children with low cognitive function. The effect may be better if cognitive therapy is best combined with behavioral therapy.
Persistent Physical Symptoms
Published in James Matheson, John Patterson, Laura Neilson, Tackling Causes and Consequences of Health Inequalities, 2020
People may also struggle with ‘cognitive errors’, such as catastrophising, where symptoms are interpreted in a negative manner producing significant distress. You may note these already, observing someone who ‘is a worrier’ or ‘is really black and white about the world’. These ‘errors’ can exacerbate symptoms and even help to explain symptoms in the absence of any clear predisposing factors [24,25]. We all have different ways of thinking and may revert to less helpful or more reactive ones when stressed, but if this is significant for your patient then a referral for a cognitive therapy may be helpful.

Cognitive therapy (CT) focuses only on cognitive restructuring techniques, a set of approaches aiming to modify maladaptive thoughts, beliefs, and images theorized to play a role in maintaining GAD [9]. Efficacy of CT alone was not significantly different than CBT at up to 2 years follow-up [20]. In meta-analyses, CT was more effective than no-treatment or placebo with a large between-group effect size (d = 1.15), and maintained gains at 6- and 12-month follow-up [21]. Hanrahan et al. examined worry treatments and found that CT was more efficacious than control groups (d = 0.93, 95% CI [0.59, 1.27]) [22]. Regarding types of control groups, effects of CT appeared stronger than waiting-list (large posttreatment effect sizes, d = 1.8, 95% CI [1.26, 2.37]) and non-CT active control groups (d = 0.63, CI [0.21, 1.05]) [22]. Nonetheless, whereas CT appears to be well established for GAD, less than 50% recovered at the end of the treatment and long-term follow-up data are sparse [22].
Pharmaceutical management of sexual dysfunction in men on antidepressant therapy

Sex therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy [26] were gaining special interest in managing antidepressant-induced SD. In fact, sexual therapy and psychotherapy have a frontline position in the management of ED [36]. There is growing evidence that combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy is better than either alone [95]. However, there is no evidence that psychotherapy alone can be the mainstay of treatment. The main aim of sex therapy is to help patient focus on sensation rather than performance. This includes promotion of erotic behaviors between the couple, and avoiding related anxiety [26]. Cognitive therapy addresses complicating risk factors like stress, performance anxiety, lack of attraction, and relationship issues, and it could help borderline cases [36]. Another fruitful effort is to fight myths [96] and cognitive anomalies [97,98] about EF during counseling of the patients (Table 2).
The use of poetry therapy in sex therapy
Published in Sexual and Relationship Therapy, 2021
Sex therapy is fairly broad in definition and some sex therapists subscribe to one or more models of therapy to help guide their practice. Cognitive and narrative models of therapy are two such models in which poetry therapy fits easily. One of the goals of cognitive therapy is to bring into awareness any thoughts and beliefs that the client holds that influence their emotions, behaviors, and world views (Collins, Furman, & Langer, 2006). One of the NAPT’s goals for poetry therapy is for clients to find new meanings through new ideas, insights, and information. One can easily see the similarity between these two goals; writing poetry can spark insight in clients that brings important cognitions into awareness. Cognitive therapy also aims to help clients learn how to not react to the whims of their irrational thoughts. The compact nature of poetry can provide alternatives to a client’s irrational thoughts. Poetry therapy also allows clients to explore thoughts and beliefs using metaphor. Metaphors can help a client articulate their reality and see how cognitions affect their behavior and perceptions (Collins et al., 2006). The clear overlap between cognitive and poetry therapy is not difficult to discern. By incorporating some of the recommended poetry therapy interventions, a cognitive therapist could integrate poetry therapy into their practice without having to alter their own view of therapeutic change.
