M2: A Case Study Of Elspeth's Psychology

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) addresses dysfunctional emotions, maladaptive behaviors, and cognitive processes. This is an effective treatment for patients who are dealing with anxiety and depression. CBT refers to a group of psychotherapies that incorporate techniques from cognitive therapy and behavior therapy. Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck are the two psychologists who came up with therapies. Beck developed the cognitive therapy (CT) that focuses on changing the client’s unrealistic maladaptive beliefs and thoughts in order to change the individual’s behavior and emotional state. To help CT is directive collaboration by help teach the client correct their distorted thinking and perception of self,

The first goal was set to decrease his anxiety by slowing down his automatic thought process. With the use of CBT, Adam was able to reframe his thoughts and recognize certain triggers that made his anxiety worse. The approached was to separate his thought from his actions and bring awareness in order to tolerate difficult thoughts he had about his marriage. During the time CBT was administered, I kept reminding Adam, that if we live in our stream of consciousness, we can find the ability to develop and shape the flow of that stream. Throughout the first couple of sessions it was apparent that Adam had harvest

QP provided Shonquasia with a CBT activity geared towards depression management. QP explained to Shonquasia that the activity will examine how to cope with depression, identify and recognize the source of depression and teach her coping and self-management strategies for dealing with depression. QP asked Shonquasia to list the things that cause her to be depress. QP asked Shonquasia to list some ways she copes with depression. QP examined with Shonquasia the cusses for her depression. QP asked Shonquasia to list some of her emotion of depression. QP examined with Shonquasia some of her self-management strategies for dealing with depression. QP examined with Shonquasia the negative styles of thinking when depress. QP asked Shonquasia to list some of her symptoms of depression. QP discussed with Shonquasia activities she can get involved in to help reduce depression symptoms. QP examined with Shonquasia ways to overcome depression. QP discussed with Shonquasia the payoff of getting off

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a type of therapeutic treatment which helps clients understand their thoughts and feelings that influences the behavior. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does treat other disorders such as phobias, addictions, depression, and anxiety (www.psychology.about.com). CBT is mainly focused on the short term goals and assisting the clients to deal with a certain problem. During the treatment process, the clients will learn to identify and make changes to their thought process of destructive and disturbing things. The basics when dealing with CBT is that the thoughts and feelings play a very important role

This lab gave me the opportunity to interact with counselors and patients. Some of my responsibilities were to enter and analyze data in SPSS, and to help counselors with questionnaires for clients. Here, I also had the opportunity to apply my knowledge from previous classes to research where attention to details is very important. I also gained information about cases of anxiety and different types of phobias and learned that reassured that CBT is very effective in the treatment of these

Although Ellis, Beck (and a few others) get a great deal of credit for the creation of CBT, they freely admit to being influenced, not only by the ancient philosophers, but also by earlier practitioners of the burgeoning art of psychotherapy. For example, referring to Paul Dubois’ work around the turn of the century, Ellenberger said “Dubois told of his method of treating phobias. Emotions, he said, always follow ideas, so the treatment should go to the root, namely, the erroneous idea the patient has allowed to creep into his mind” (Ellenberger,

Unlike Person-Centred therapy Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a scientific model founded in the 1960’s by Aaron Beck. It joins the theories of both Cognitive therapy and behavioural. He noticed that many of his counselling clients had an “Internal dialogue” (Beck, 1979) that was often negative and self-defeating and influenced behaviour. He realised that by working on these internal dialogues and making them positive it could effectively lead to positive changes in the behaviour of the clients. CBT focuses on the images, self-belief and attitudes held by the client and how these things can affect the client’s

The patient moved into her new apartment and has been living there for about 4 days now. She's excited about having her own apartment.

“The goal of CBT is to teach clients how to separate the evaluation of their behaviour from the evaluation of themselves and how to accept themselves in spite of imperfections” (Corey, 2009, p. 279). In CBT the clients are expected to change their current behaviour (normally full of automatic thoughts) to a more rational way of thinking. The clinician will challenge the client’s behaviour in order for the client to understand his or her behaviour and get alternatives to change his/her behaviour. When using CBT, the client’s behaviour changes when they are aware of the abnormal behaviour. This approach allows the client to focus on improving his/her wellbeing. This enhances the client’s awareness of an existing issue and that changes are necessary. The client will develop new coping skills to deal with the situation and develop a new way of thinking from negative (automatic thoughts) to positive (more realistic thoughts). Initially the client may not recognise that a problem exists, but through this process will get

The foundation of cognitive therapy is that thoughts have the ability to influence individual's feelings. One's emotional

CBT is a structured psychological treatment which identifies that cognition, emotion and behaviour all interact together. Therefore, it can be said that our thoughts determine our feelings and our response. A negative impact of the actions taken by someone when that person suffers from psychological distress caused by how skewed they interpret situations. CBT involves working with a therapist to distinguish thought and behavioural patterns that are either making a client more likely to become depressed, or stopping a client from getting better when experiencing depression. The purpose of CBT is to increase the client’s awareness when negative interpretations are made and when behavioural patterns reinforce distorted thinking. Cognitive therapy helps people to develop alternative ways of thinking and behaving which aim to reduce their psychological

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was created by Aaron Beck, a professor in psychiatry in the 1960’s (Beck, 2011). Initially, Beck sought out to prove the psychoanalytic idea that depression stemmed from anger towards oneself (Beck, 2011). However, during his research he found that misleading thoughts and beliefs were the reasoning behind depression. Beck theorized that one’s current feelings about something are derived from an initial encounter that gave meaning to that specific event. So, negative feelings about a particular occurrence can be a result of misinformation (Beck & Greenberg, 1984).

A major focus will be on the rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), while incorporating other behavioral and cognitive techniques relevant in supporting Jane (Corey, 2005) A cognitive counsellor would facilitate a guided discovery and Socratic dialogue to gather information about past events (Weiten et al., 2009). Therefore, signaling evidence of potential cognitive distortions Jane has learnt and integrated that may have established rigid and unrealistic thoughts patterns. Hence, the goal is to replace these distortions with constructive automatic thoughts and core schemas by obtaining new ways to think and behave (Weiten et al., 2009). A counsellor would help Jane to identify cognitive distortions that contribute to behavioral problems and

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is now growing within today’s society. It is very popular as it is efficient with known to have long lasting treatments for with many individuals who suffer from psychological problems. However, there has been some parsimony and empiricism within in CBT, it aims to be parsimonious. CBT is a short intensive course. The course of the treatment mostly lasts 30-60 minutes long with 5-20 sessions. Just when you are settling into the treatment and becoming comfortable with the therapist. Tim Hill (2016) emphasises that patients build up a sense of trust in the person who is trying to help you, the treatment comes to an end. This is to help meet goals within the NHS management who struggle to meet targets. Being cheap, quick and simplistic, CBT of course appeals to the government.
