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 answer 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 answer 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.
Three levels of cognition - correct answer Consciousness is the highest level of cognition and is a state of
awareness in which decisions can be made on a rational basis.

unspoken. They can be understood if our attention is drawn to them.
Conscious attention allow one to - correct answer --monitor and assess interactions with the
environment

AUTOMATIC THOUGHTS - correct answer 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 answer 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.

influenced by genetics and multitude of life experiences, including parental teaching and modeling,
formal and informal educational activities, peer experiences, traumas and successes.

thoughts often center on themes of hopelessness, low self-esteem, and failure.

uncontrollability, or inability to manage threats.

correct answer 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.

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 answer 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.

thoughts that are maladaptive or distorted. These thoughts can generate
painful emotional reactions and dysfunctional behavior.
