What are some 'tricks' psychologists and psychiatrists use in dealing with 'difficult' and/or manipulative patients?
Can you give me an example of how a therapist might use cognitive behavioral therapy with a difficult patient?
Sure! Let's say a patient has a history of lashing out at others when they feel criticized. A therapist using cognitive behavioral therapy might help the patient identify the negative thought patterns that underlie this behavior, such as a perception of themselves as inadequate or unworthy of respect. The therapist would then work with the patient to develop new, healthier thought patterns, and practice responding to criticism in a more constructive way.
