Behavioral Therapy Vs Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) addresses dysfunctional emotions, maladaptive behaviors, and cognitive processes. This is an effective treatment for patients who are dealing with anxiety and depression. CBT refers to a group of psychotherapies that incorporate techniques from cognitive therapy and behavior therapy. Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck are the two psychologists who came up with therapies. Beck developed the cognitive therapy (CT) that focuses on changing the client’s unrealistic maladaptive beliefs and thoughts in order to change the individual’s behavior and emotional state. To help CT is directive collaboration by help teach the client correct their distorted thinking and perception of self,

According to the article by Dr. Rita Smilkstein “Natural Human Learning Process takes place in six different stages.” In order for someone to learn they first have to have some form of motivation-- they to have an interest to learn what it is that they need to learn everything starts with motivation. Then they have to start practicing, while practicing you will make errors but you will also learn from your errors. Then comes advance practice, with advance practice you will become more confident, and feel like

Learning takes hard work and that can take some time. Michener took 5 years to write the book, Hawaii. He had to rewrite over and over again writing almost 3,000,000 words. The final copy contained about 500,000. Important work must be written over again until it is the best it can be. Learning can be hard work too. We only learn the things we and sometimes the things we don’t need. Tackle a real job, when done, face jobs harder than the one that was just done.

No one is born knowing how to do everything but we can all be taught. Sometimes, there are circumstances in life where factors out of our control can change who we are. Every challenge we face has the ability to teach us a variety of lessons; we just have to be willing to

Taking a psychotherapeutic approach to issues of chemical dependency, cognitive-behavioral treatment (or CBT) is a general term for a classification of therapies that includes:

Cognitive behavior therapy also referred to as CBT is one of the most practiced forums of evidence-based therapy used today. CBT approaches in therapy have demonstrated a high degree of success rates in treatment. CBT is known for treating anxiety, alcohol and substance abuse, and depression among many other difficulties one might experience (Padesky, 2012). Cognitive behavioral therapy maintains the belief that what people believe holds significant value. A person’s belief has a strong influence on how the person feels and acts upon those feelings (Corey, 2017). Around the mid-1970’s therapists started emphasizing the interaction between behavioral, affective, and cognitive dimensions which led to the

My goal is to become a school counselor. But, before I go into school settings. I would like to do my internship at a mental health facility. My main focuses will be with 0-5 children. All the different theories of psychotherapy that I studied in this class will go in handy when I start my internship. I have a better understanding of each theory, so when I practice the theory I will be familiar to use it. From all the theories of psychotherapy that I studied in this class, I feel the strongest approach for the population I want to work with will be cognitive behavioral therapy. I believe working at a mental health facility and then transition to a school setting cognitive behavior therapy will be proper to use when working with 0-5 children and teenager students as well.

This summary will provide the reader with different methods of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. CBT can be used for multiple populations and is known for changing the way one thinks. This summary will focus on the use of CBT with children who have experienced a traumatic event in their life, also known as post traumatic disorder (PTSD). The articles that have been reviewed provide different interventions for children who have experienced PTSD and determine how effective the methods were.

Just like RET, in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) there are numerous positive attributes that the Christian can support but it is the few negative aspects that disallow a complete agreement with its methods. CBT believes “thought is judged to be real and important” but their philosophical assumptions of materialism, naturalism, determinism, reductionism, and atomism give birth to a relativistic attitude when contending with people. That normal and abnormal are left up to the individual to define. However, I can agree with Bandura’s idea of reciprocal determinism where “we are determined by our environments and also the determiners of what our environments are” (Jones & Butman, 2011) and his theory of modeling seen in 1 Peter 2:21 (like

Tan’s (2007) article, “Use of Prayer and Scripture in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy,” is about using prayers and scriptures in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). According to Tan (2007), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the utmost empirically supported treatments (ESTs), (p.101). The article noted that a recent placebo-controlled study of behavioral activation, cognitive therapy and antidepressant medication of paroxetine of 241 adults that suffered from major depressive disorder showed that behavioral activation is as successful as antidepressant medication and more successful than cognitive therapy in treatment for severely depressed adults, (Tan, 2007, p 101). Tan (2007) gives an overview on behavioral therapy and its three categories,

The three major components of cognitive therapy are didactic, or educational aspects, cognitive techniques, and behavioral interventions. The didactic aspect is basically preparation for the client to become his or her own therapist. The therapist informs the client as to how it works and lets the client know what is expected of both of them. The cognitive techniques include, but are not limited to, socratic questioning and role play. These are only a few of the techniques used to help recognize and modify automatic thoughts and core beliefs. The therapist begins with questioning the client about their situation and asks them to describe how they feel about it.

I personally believe the ratio of people ending up with medication treatment rather than psychotherapy treatment is strictly related to the disorder an individual has. An individual with mild depression or anxiety may find psychotherapy successful, but an individual with major depression or schizophrenia might find medication treatment better. I also believe what Stephanie said about people in society wanting “quick fixes” true as well. I personally am a “quick fix” person. While I do not have a mental disorder, I find it easier to get a prescription for back pain instead of seeing a chiropractor over the span of a couple weeks to see if my back will naturally heal. I think the mismatch is so big between beliefs because in some people's opinion

Therapy is the one of the means to help people treated from their mental and emotional problem through a series of interaction with the therapist and client. The therapist must have a professional skill about to use different method of therapy to help the client face and solve their own problem more effectively. Every therapy has different characteristics, also has their advantages and shortcomings. In this essay, I would like to compare and contrast psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioural therapy to find out the difference about their concept and process of therapy.
