ACTIVE, TIME-LIMITED APPROACH
9). Depression can be understood via schemas:
Ans: Beck;
cognitive errors, and the cognitive triad (i.e., negative views of self, tendency toward
interpreting experiences in a negative manner, and holding negative views of the future).
10). Beck assumption
Ans: Distorted thinking contributes to and maintains bheavior (symptoms)
11). Ellis
Ans: RET (Rational Emotive Therapy) a form of cbt
12). Ret
Ans: unrealistic and irrational beliefs cause many emotional problems. The purpose
of RET is to identify an irrational belief and dispute it through active, philosophical,
confrontational therapy.
13). Ret assumption
Ans: People make themselves sick anytime they escalate a desire or preference into a

14). Skinner
Ans: operant conditioning
PaperStoc.com Page 2 of 23
, 15). Operant conditioning
Ans: voluntary behaviors are learned through consequences, and behavioral
responses are elicited through reinforcement, which causes a behavior to occur more
frequently. Positive reinforcement- getting a gift, or negative reinforcement- removal of
objectionable' or aversive stimulus
16). Skinner
Ans: Absence of reinforcement, or extinction, also decreases behavior by withholding
a reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this strategy in the classroom
when they ignore acting-out behavior that had previously been rewarded by more
attention.
Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying or replacing
behaviors. Behavior management and modification programs based on his principles
have shown to be successful in altering targeted behaviors. Programmed learning and
token economies represent extensions of Skinner's thoughts on learning. Behavioral
methods are particularly effective with children, adolescents, and individuals with many
forms of chronic mental illness.
17). Universality
Ans: Yaslom: The recognition of shared experiences and feelings among group
members and that these may be widespread or universal human concerns, serves to
remove a group member's sense of isolation, validate their experiences, and raise self-
esteem.
18). Altruism
Ans: Yaslom: The group is a place where members can help each other, and the
experience of being able to give something to another person can lift the member's self
esteem and help develop more adaptive coping styles and interpersonal skills.
19). Instillation of hope
Ans: Yaslom: In a mixed group that has members at various stages of development or
recovery, a member can be inspired and encouraged by another member who has
overcome the problems with which they are still struggling.
20). Imparting information
Ans: Yaslom: While this is not strictly speaking a psychotherapeutic process,
members often report that it has been very helpful to learn factual information from
