Psicologia cognitiva como ideologia

Resumo

Apresenta uma análise crítica de alguns dos principais trabalhos em psicologia cognitiva social, da personalidade e do desenvolvimento. Argumenta-se que o cognitivismo, em virtude da primazia que confere ao conhecedor individual, aos determinantes subjetivos do comportamento e às operações cognitivas formais, representa um conjunto de valores e interesses que reproduzem e reafirmam a natureza existente da ordem social. No entanto, a junção da psicologia cognitiva com a ideologia não visa simplesmente desmascarar os valores transmitidos pela abordagem cognitivista. A questão dos valores também levanta sérias questões sobre a natureza da ciência psicológica. Quatro exemplos de casos são examinados como base para as afirmações feitas no presente artigo: (1) as deficiências do interacionismo, (2) a negação da realidade pelo cognitivismo, (3) as reificações psicológicas e (4) o interesse teórico e técnico da teoria cognitiva e do desenvolvimento em conhecimento. Um comentário de conclusão defende uma psicologia nova e transformativa, não do que existe, mas do que poderia ainda existir. 

Cognitive psychology as ideology.

Abstract

Presents a critical analysis of some of the major work in cognitive social, personality, and developmental psychology. It is argued that cognitivism, by virtue of the primacy it gives to the individual knower, to subjective determinants of behavior, and to formal cognitive operations, represents a set of values and interests that reproduce and reaffirm the existing nature of the social order. However, the joining of cognitive psychology with idealogy is not intended simply to unmask the values carried by the cognitivist approach. The issue of values also raises serious questions about the nature of psychological science. Four case examples are examined as the basis for the claims made in the present article: (1) the deficiencies of interactionism, (2) cognitivism's denial of reality, (3) psychological reifications, and (4) cognitive/developmental theory and the technical interest in knowledge. A concluding comment calls for a new and transformative psychology, not of what is, but of what may yet be. (71 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

[Comentário: Aplicável para a psicologia baseada em evidências já que é principalmente uma forma de cognitivismo com estratégia discursiva semelhante.]

Terapia cognitiva e indústria farmacêutica

[Hipótese] Os terapeutas cognitivos se orgulham muito de serem o mainstream (hegemônicos) e se julgam a melhor forma de terapia existente. Mas conhecendo as práticas da indústria farmacêutica provavelmente as terapias cognitivas são o padrão ouro dos tratamentos por não ameaçar os interesses da mesma. Por exemplo quando fazem artigos que mostram que a terapia cognitiva tem efeitos semelhantes (e não superiores) ao das drogas psiquiátricas. Quando falam que a terapia cognitiva é complementar ao tratamento medicamentoso. O usuário teria duas opções: apenas droga psiquiátrica ou terapia cognitiva casada com droga psiquiátrica. Garantindo assim o interesse da indústria farmacêutica nas duas situações. A indústria farmacêutica também atua para desacreditar tratamentos que tornem menos necessários o uso de drogas. Como foi descrito no livro Loucos pela Vida ou O homem e a serpente. (Não lembro exatamente qual)

CBT is a scam and a waste of money

Os psiquiatras acreditam muito em terapia cognitiva porque usam métodos de pesquisa parecidos com os da medicina.

The CBT Evidence Base: Statistical Spin, Linguistic Obfuscation

In this presentation I will subject elements of CBT research to a critique on its own terms - that is, from within the very 'Scientific' paradigm that CBT aspires to. I will begin arguing that as the 'third wave' of CBT (Mindfulness, CAT, ACT, DBT, etc) starts to give weight to ways of thinking that it previously disparaged, it comes to look more and more like the other psychotherapies that CBT seeks to distinguish itself from. I liken this process to that of colonisation and its way of appropriation. Next, I take issue with manualisation itself, to say that the insistence that clinicians should stick closely to manualised protocols is driven by the needs of researchers (which is to keep control of the 'variables' in their experiments) rather than in the clinical interests of patients. In the main part of the paper I will attend to the science behind the research and the ways that it gets written up. First up is the problem of 'publication bias', which when combined with the research requirements of NICE, constitutes a betrayal of the ideals of Science itself. Next, I will look closely at two interlinked well regarded research papers that demonstrate the efficacy of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, and are widely cited as examples of good research. A close reading of these papers will show that the picture is not as convincing as their abstracts would have us believe.

Mental disorders are common and associated with severe impairments and high societal costs, thus representing a significant public health concern. About 75% of patients prefer psychotherapy over medication.¹ For psychotherapy of mental disorders, several approaches are available such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, or psychodynamic therapy. Pointing to the available evidence, CBT is usually considered the gold standard for the psychotherapeutic treatment of many or even most mental disorders.^2,3 For example, the American Psychological Association’s Division 12 Task Force on Psychological Interventions currently lists CBT as the only treatment with “strong research support” in almost 80% of all mental disorders included in its listing.²

For a treatment to be considered the gold standard requires that substantial supporting evidence exists. Recently, however, additional research findings have emerged that question the prominent status of CBT. In this Viewpoint, we review some of the most important findings.
