Cognitive therapy

The techniques of cognitive therapy can always help me control my moods. Recently, I always felt angry with one of my roommates in school. Additionally, I also felt depressed about the relationship between us. For instance, last Friday, I just write paper in the General Education Hall, not in the dormitory. Then, I came back to dormitory, find that my three roommates were watching a TV show together. I said hi like before, but they looked like a little bit distant. Plus, I was very tired after…

Therefore, for purposes of this study, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is being implemented. CBT makes a connection between a person’s thoughts and the way they feel or the mood they are in. It focuses on establishing a relationship between a patient’s thinking, rationalization, ideas and attitudes, with his or her behavior, as a way of changing their reaction to challenging situations, as well as the way they cope with emotional problems. Cognitive-Behavioral therapists believe patients…

The nature of people View of human nature. My choice theoretical approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which contains components of rational behavior therapy (REBT) and cognitive therapy (CT). I believe that humans are born with both rational and irrational thinking. People actually have the tendencies to want to be happy, grow, and self-actualize, but also to be self-destructive, procrastinate, and self-blame (Corey, 2009). Humans have both biologically and culturally crooked…

CBT is a highly structured and standardized therapy to help patients with schizophrenia cope with their psychotic symptoms by examining and reevaluating their thoughts and perceptions of experiences (Chien, Leung, Yeung, & Wong, 2013). Five main approaches to psychosocial intervention had been used for the treatment of schizophrenia: cognitive therapy (cognitive behavioral and cognitive remediation therapy), psychoeducation, family intervention, social skills training, and…

Cognitive theory has become perhaps the most fundamental psychological model in the mental health field. It is the foundation of cognitive therapy (CT), a “highly active, directive, structured treatment, geared toward the client’s acquisition of psychological skills in a time-effective manner” (Newman & Ratto, 1999, p. 97). Counselors should have a good grasp of cognitive theory and the evidence-based interventions used in CT in order to recognize clients that are best suited for this modality.…

COGNITIVE THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION There are multiple different treatments used when trying to cure depression, one of the more successful treatments being cognitive therapy. Jorden Cummings, a psychologist, describes cognitive therapy (CT) as being "a time-limited, problem-focused, directive therapy that typically includes 14 to 16 weekly sessions (50 minutes each), but it can last longer for more severe and chronic depression" (Cummings). Cummings also states that this form of therapy is most…

Case Conceptualization: Cognitive Therapy Much like most prominent theorist that came after Sigmund Freud, their initial drive was to enhance or disprove his theory of psychoanalysis; Aaron Beck was no exception. Going up in an environment with a depressed mother and anxiety and phobias of his own, Beck worked hard to disprove his own negative assumptions that he was not good enough due to his illness. While his initial major was English and political science, Beck instead turned his attention…

According to cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) people are born with a drive to survive (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). Additionally, people use pleasure and pain as guides in which people learn from experiences, make conclusions, predictions, and create goals (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). Further, cognitive-behavioral therapists believe that children’s different temperaments push them in different directions and therefore will perceive the same event differently (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). Also,…

By asking health professions the course of action on how to manage insomnia, new information was gained. By interviewing twenty eight patients and twenty-three health professionals, their first course of action was not how to cure insomnia itself but in fact, focused more…
