研修報告(認知行動療法)Training Report(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
力による一方的な現状変更は「いかなる地域でも」許されるべきではない。この考えに強く同意し、地球上で続く紛争の一刻も早い終結を願い、この願いをこれからも身近な人達と共有し続けていきます。
今夏、オンラインにて認知行動療法の研修を受け続けるなかで感じることを少しご報告します。まず、アセスメント(ケースフォーミュレーション)の重要性、です。そんなの必要ない、面接をたくさんやればいい、などの治療・経営方針を掲げる機関も世の中にはあります。しかしながら、相談の対象となる行動が続く背景(どのような意味があるの?)等を理解し、仮説を立て、それを来談者と共有することは効果的な介入に欠かせないという思いをあらたにしました。さらには、「罰」の理解です。罰は行動を無くす効果を持つと思われがちですが、決してそうではなく、罰がないと元に戻る、あるいは行動がエスカレートする可能性もある、いかに展開することが効果的なのか…、などについての知識を自身の中で整理することもできました。
やめたいけどやめられない行動(性犯罪など)でお困りの方々とご家族のお役に立てるよう、専門職としての研鑽と心身の健康管理を今後も継続してまいります。
Unilateral changes to the status quo through force should never be tolerated in any region. I strongly agree with this idea, and hope for an end to the ongoing conflicts around the world as soon as possible. I will continue to share this wish with those close to me.
I would like to share some reflections from the online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training I have been attending this summer. First is the importance of assessment (case formulation). There are some institutions that advocate treatment or operational policies claiming that assessment is unnecessary and that simply conducting numerous sessions is sufficient. However, this training has reaffirmed my conviction that effective intervention requires understanding the context behind the target behavior (such as what meaning it holds), formulating hypotheses, and sharing them with the client. Furthermore, I was able to clarify my understanding of "punishment." I was able to clarify my understanding of several key points: that while punishment is often thought to eliminate a behavior, that is not necessarily the case—in fact, without it, the behavior might return or even escalate—and that it is crucial to consider the most effective way to implement it.
Lastly I will continue to pursue professional development and maintain our own physical and mental well-being so that we may be of assistance to individuals and their families struggling with behaviors they wish to stop but cannot (such as sexual offenses).
