|
Theory of Psychopathology (CBT) |
maladaptive cognitions and cognitive errors” these cognitive errors cause psychopathology |
|
Common Cognitive Errors (CBT) |
Overgeneralizing- if it is true in one situation it must be true from any situation that is remotely similar Selective abstraction- the only events that matter are the failures, which are the sole measure of myself (Ellis’ filtering) Excessive responsibility- i am responsible for bad things bad events and life failures (opposite of Ellis’ blaming) Self- Reference- i am at the center of everyone’s attention, particularly when i fail at something (ellis’ mind reading) Dichotomous Thinking- everything is either one extreme or another, good or bad (polarized thinking -Ellis) |

|
CBT Therapy |
considered a brief therapy → only 5-20 session therapy is often structured so that clients discover inaccurate thoughts for themselves helps people do therapy on themselves in the future preventing relapse inductive method- help client turn core beliefs into hypothesis and test them Goals are set early and created by client and therapist and are revised throughout therapy hierarchy of goals is established in the client has many difficulties and one or two is worked on at a time |

|
Techniques for Changing Cognitive distortions in CBT |
Asking for evidence-where is this data coming from? is it a good source challenging absolutes- “never” and “always” De- catastrophizing- what would really be the worst thing to happen If the actual worse case scenario happens- how bad will it really be? will you survive?
