COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOR THERAPY (CBT) correct answers --Is based on a set of well-
developed principles that are used to formulate treatment plans and guide the actions of the
therapist.
CBT is a commonsense approach that is based on two central tenets correct answers 1. Our
cognitions have a controlling influence on our emotions and behavior
2. How we act or behave can strongly affect our thought patterns and emotions.
The cognitive-behavioral model correct answers Cognitive processing is given a central role
because humans appraise the significance of events in the environment around and within
them and cognitions are often associated with emotional reactions.
event----congtitive appraisal-----emotion----behavior
Three levels of cognition correct answers Consciousness is the highest level of cognition and
is a state of awareness in which decisions can be made on a rational basis.
Preconsciousness--automatic thoughts that occur in a rapid-fire manner and are typically
personal or unspoken. They can be understood if our attention is drawn to them.
Conscious attention allow one to correct answers --monitor and assess interactions with the
environment
--link past memories with present experiences
--control and plan future actions
AUTOMATIC THOUGHTS correct answers Are cognitions that stream rapidly through our
minds when we are in the midst of situations (or recalling events). Although we may be
subliminally aware of the presence of automatic thoughts, typically these cognitions are not
subjected to careful rational analysis.
They are typically private or unspoken and occur in a rapid-fire manner as we evaluate the
significance of events in our lives.
SCHEMAS correct answers Are core beliefs that act as templates or underlying rules for
information processing. They severe a critical function in allowing humans to screen, filter,
code, and assign meaning to information from the environment.
--They are defined as basic templates or rules for information processing that underlie the
more superficial layer of automatic thoughts.
--They are unduring principles of thinking that start to take shape in early childhood and may
be influenced by genetics and multitude of life experiences, including parental teaching and
modeling, formal and informal educational activities, peer experiences, traumas and
successes.
Research has confirmed that persons with depression, anxiety disorders, and other psychiatric
conditions have a high frequency of distorted automatic thoughts correct answers --In
depression, automatic thoughts often center on themes of hopelessness, low self-esteem, and
failure.
, --In anxiety persons usually have automatic thoughts that include predictions of danger,
harm, uncontrollability, or inability to manage threats.
By recognizing our personal automatic thoughts and employing other cognitive behavioral
processes correct answers we can improve the understanding of basic concepts, increase the
empathy with pateients and deepen awarenss of one's own cognitive and bhavioral patterns
that could influence the therapeutic relationship.
CBT emphasizes techniques correct answers designed to help patients detect and modify
automatic thoughts and schemas, especially those that are associated with emotional
symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or anger.
--CBT teaches patients to think about their thinking to reach the goal of bringing autonomous
cognitions into conscious awareness and control.
Automatic Thoughts are correct answers typically private or unspoken and occur in a rapid-
fire manner. The term PRECONSCIOUS is used in describing automatic thoughts because
these cognitions can be recognized and understood if our attention is drawn to them.
--Persons with psychiatric disorders such as depression or anxiety often experience floods of
automatic thoughts that are maladaptive or distorted. These thoughts can generate
painful emotional reactions and dysfunctional behavior.
In depression correct answers automatic thoughts often center on themes of hopelessness, low
welf-esteem, and failure.
In anxiety correct answers persons usually have automatic thoughts that include predictions
of danger, harm, uncontrollability, or inability to manage threats.
By recognizing their personal automatic thoughts and employing other cognitive-behavioral
processes correct answers clinicians can improve their understanding of basic concepts
--Increase their empathy with patients
--deepen awareness of their own congnitive and behavioral patterns that could influence the
therapeutic relationship.
Cognitive Errors correct answers Beck theorized that there are characteristic errors in logic in
the automatic thoughts and other cognitions of persons with emotional disorders.
--Subsequent research has confirmed the importance of cognitive errors in pathological styles
of information processing.
Six Main Categories of Cognitive Errors correct answers Selective Abstraction
Arbitrary inference
Overgeneralization
Magnification and minimization
Personalization
Absolutistic (all-or-nothing) thinking
Selective Abstraction-sometimes called Ignoring the Evidence or the Mental Filter correct
answers A conclusion is drawn after looking at only a small protion of the available
information. Salient data are screened out or ignored in order to confirm the person's biased
view of the situation.
