Section A
1. Briefly Describe a Therapeutic Approach: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(CBT)
Introduction to CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based
form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and modifying dysfunctional
thoughts, behaviors, and emotional responses. CBT combines principles from both
cognitive and behavioral psychology and aims to address current problems and
symptoms by teaching patients practical skills to alter their thought patterns and
behaviors.
Core Principles of CBT
1. Cognitive Model: CBT is based on the cognitive model, which posits that
psychological distress is largely a function of disturbances in cognitive
processes. In other words, it is not the situations themselves that cause
distress, but how individuals interpret and think about those situations.
2. Behavioral Component: The behavioral aspect of CBT involves identifying
and changing unhelpful behaviors. This often includes exposure techniques,
behavior modification, and skills training.
