Self-talk Identification, Questioning & Revision (SIQR)

Self-talk Identification, Questioning & Revision (SIQR) is a set of specific techniques within the general rubrics of

neuropsychological
” therapies guided by late 20th and early 21st century research on brain function.

Therapeutic Objectives

As is the case with other cognitive therapies, the principle goal of SIQR is to assist the patient suffering from belief-induced

neural networks between various portions of the limbic systems
and cerebral cortices in both brain hemispheres.

The neurological objective of SIQR is similar to that of

channels.

Developmental Influences

SIQR’s cognitive components point back to the

attribution theory
).

SIQR developer Rodger Garrett’s writing about cognitive therapy appears to most deeply rooted in Wessler’s, Hankin’s and Stern’s CAT. In his writing, Garrett often repeats the theme of core beliefs, values, idea(l)s, assumptions, convictions and attitudes influencing affective states (e.g.: anxiety, anger, depression, mania) that combine with the core schemata to influence perceptions, appraisals, interpretations, evaluations, assessments, analyses of, and attributions of meaning to, events in the environment (see Garrett online).

The therapy’s

brain scanning
techniques.

Garrett’s interpretation of the sum total of millennial era

affective
memories of trauma stored largely in one brain hemisphere with the symbolic language processing centers in the opposite hemisphere.

Method

SIQR is conducted in six phases:

1)

client-centered principles (see Rogers) to develop a trust-based collaboration
between therapist and patient.

2) Indoctrination (usually by means of

logical fallacies or errors of reasoning developed by Socrates and the Enlightenment
philosophers.

3) Indoctrination and introductory practice in the use of

conscious awareness of one’s momentary affects (emotions, sensations, feelings) for the sake of both distress tolerance and systematic desensitization
(see Johnson, and Schiraldi).

4) Usage of Ellis’s twelve “bad ideas” in the SIQR format of writing out with the non-dominant hand (preferred because of the stimulation of the motor and sensory neural networks in the non-dominant brain hemisphere usually associated with affect storage) or by typing (which, using both hands, has somewhat the same effect), then converting the original statement into a question asking “Is it true that…,” then asserting that the statement is true, then asserting that the statement is not true. The patient then switches to dominant handwriting (or continues to type) to report the affects experienced while writing the four versions of the “bad idea,” and follows that up with a brief essay on his realizations during the process. Examples of the process may be seen in numerous articles by Garrett available online.

5) Usage of Beck’s and Freeman’s typical beliefs of the major

personality theory
(see Clarkin and Lenzenweger, Ekleberry, Kelly, Livesley, Masterson, Millon, and Stone) may elect to draw from his or her understanding of the cognitive underpinnings of the personality disorders to develop new “bad ideas” for the patient to work through as described above. Several sessions may be devoted to this process.

6) Development of the patient’s own notions of his

logical fallacies
based on evolving awareness (or “mindfulness”) into self-devised sentences to be worked through in the same fashion as stages four and five above.

Mechanisms of Cognitive and Behavioral Change

From

authority figures
including parents, older siblings, playmates, teachers, etc.

From an experiential (more or less "gestalt") standpoint (see Alpert, Laing, Perls, and Polster and Polster), SIQR is designed to demonstrate the connections between introjected but unconscious core beliefs, values, idea(l)s, assumptions, convictions and/or attitudes; the patient’s affects; and the patient’s perception, appraisal, evaluation, interpretation, assessment, analysis and/or attribution of meaning to events in his life.

From a behavioristic standpoint (see Hayes et al, Linehan, Skinner, and Watson), SIQR is designed to deliver a method – and rewarding and strong reinforcing experience therewith – to the patient that the patient can use when he or she experiences dysphoria in the future. Quoting Garrett quoting others, “Give a man a fish and he eats today; teach a man how to fish and he eats from now on.”

The combinations of

psychodynamic
and experiential revelations place the patient at ever-increasing capacity for conscious choice of behavior, as opposed to unconsciously automated, “knee-jerk” reactivity (see Bandura, Hayes et al, Linehan, and Mansell).
