It is key for educators of students with emotional behavior disorders (EBD) to develop positive and effective curriculum and interventions and that will allow their students achieve their specific academic, social and health needs and goals. These academic and social skills that the EBD students learn during their school years will be able to be used in their adult lives as they transition into their mainstream communities. Cognitive Behavior Intervention Approach or CBI is positive strong based intervention method used by schools that has shown great results for creating the long-term, lasting behavioral changes that educators are striving for in their pupils (Yell, Meadows, Drasgow & Shriner, 2014). Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBI)

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a form of talk psychotherapy that is focused on modifying inaccurate or negative reactions to difficult circumstances (Hawley et al., 2017). This form of therapy requires the individual to attain and apply a new skill to alleviate symptoms (Hawley et al., 2017). The three specific skills used are behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, and core belief strategies (Hawley et al., 2017).
Developed in the mid 1960s by Aaron Beck, the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model theorizes that the interpretation of both external and internal events is biased, and can tap unhealthy underlying beliefs that potentially lead to emotional distress (Beck, 2005). Over the years CBT has accumulated an impressive track record in the treatment of a variety of mood disorders. In 1985, a review of 220 studies using CBT in the treatment of depression concluded that 91% supported the model (Beck, 2005). Large-scale literature meta-analyses on CBT in the treatment of anxiety disorders have also shown CBT to be highly effective in this population, particularly with posttraumatic stress disorder (Beck, 2005). Additionally, since the late 1990s evidence has accumulated showing CBT to be an effective treatment approach in substance use disorders, including alcohol dependence, marijuana dependence, and cocaine dependence (Carroll, 2004). No wonder CBT has been characterized as “the fastest growing and most heavily researched orientation on the contemporary scene” (Prochaska & Norcross, 2003, p. 369).
Studies estimate that over one in four children will experience trauma before the age of sixteen, and many of these youth will go on to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of their trauma (Silverman, Oritz, Viswesvaran, Burns, Kulko, Putnam, & Amaya-Jackson, 2008). Children and adolescents with PTSD can benefit from a mixture of the Cognitive and Behavioral models, presented in the form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Specifically, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is the most effective method to treat PTSD, utilizing techniques from two different perspectives (cognitive and behavioral) that can
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy helps the patient establish a plan of treatment and takes action to prevent relapse. The therapist will work with the patient by isolating the root cause(s) of the addiction. In addition, to prevent a relapse the patient will be equipped with relapse-prevention training. Relapse-prevention training is where the patient will keep track of their additive patterns. Once the patterns are acknowledged, the patient can become more aware of what triggers their cravings so they can make adjustments accordingly.
While behavioural approaches to the management of obesity are often successful in achieving clinically significant weight loss, the weight lost is generally regained. The great majority of patients return to their pre-treatment weight within 3 years. There have been attempts to improve the long-term effectiveness of behavioural treatment but the results have been disappointing. In this paper we suggest that, among other factors, this is because of the neglect of the contribution of cognitive factors to weight regain, and because there is often ambiguity over the goals of treatment. We present a cognitive behavioural analysis of the processes involved in weight regain, and we describe a new cognitive behavioural treatment derived from it. This treatment is designed to minimise the problem of weight regain by addressing psychological obstacles to the acquisition of, and long-term adherence to, effective weight-control behaviour.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely utilized intervention within the field of social work practice. According to Hepworth (2011), it is considered to be the cornerstone of cognitive behavioral approaches (p.408-09). CBT focuses on the premise that thoughts trigger an emotional response, which in turn triggers a behavior. It states that all behaviors are internally derived from our thoughts instead of being externally triggered. CBT is short term in duration and can provide rapid emotional progress since it is solution focused, often using concrete homework assignments to be able to assist clients in refocusing their current paradigm into something more constructive and positive in nature. Within CBT, the success (or failure) of client work is based upon accurate assessment and clear goal setting. It is the social worker’s role to hold the client accountable, encourage, listen and educate the client on the impact of their behaviors. In contrast
The goal Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions of behavioral treatment are to teach self-control through verbal self-instructions, problem-solving strategies, cognitive modeling, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, self-reinforcement and other strategies. Typically, a therapist meets with a client once or twice a week in an attempt to teach the client through modeling, role playing and practicing cognitive strategies, the person can use to control his or her inattention and impulsive behavior. As a simple example, a child may be taught to say “stop” to himself when he is about to call out in class. Children with ADHD seem to lack these internal cues and so it was thought that teaching them such cues would be helpful. While CBI was popular in the
Imagine this sceneario, a 24-year old woman begins her first week of therapy with a psychologist. She explains moments of hypervigilance, irritability, difficulty sleeping and concentrating, dissociation, and moments of memory loss. Within the following weeks the psychologist diagnoses this patient with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). As she completes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with the combination of psychoanalysis, childhood sexual abuse is identified. However, as the client digs deeper into the trauma, she begins to suffer from symptoms of memory loss in accordance with the trauma.
This study looks at the effects of incorporating behavioral intervention as a preventative approach to minimizing weight gain during pregnancy. The main purpose of this particular intervention was to prospectively influence the health of the newborn, and examine how the behavioral intervention could possibly effect birth weight, the infant’s body composition and also effect the risk of the infant becoming overweight.
Traditional behavioral plans for children with Asperger syndrome often neglect what they need to learn to manage their anxiety and the underdeveloped skills that contribute to their anxiety. School personnel often identify a desirable target behavior and try to reinforce it through rewards (stickers, praise, etc.), which usually doesn’t work. When educators don’t recognize how anxiety prompts some behaviors, such as meltdowns or withdrawal, their responses can unintentionally exacerbate the students’ inappropriate behavior and their anxiety. If students with Asperger are to succeed in school, they need a prescribed behavioral intervention plan that addresses anxiety, explicit instruction in underdeveloped skills leading to anxiety, which helps
Cognitive behavior therapy helps people break the connections between difficult situations and their habitual reactions to them. This can be reactions such as fear, rage or depression, and self-defeating or self-damaging behavior. Cognitive behaviour therapy refers to a class of interventions that share the basic principles that mental disorders and psychological discomforts are maintained by cognitive factors (Hofmann et al., 2012).

Developed by Dr. Aaron T. Beck, Cognitive Therapy (CT), or Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), is a form of psychotherapy in which the therapist and the client work together as a team to identify and solve problems. Therapists help clients to overcome their difficulties by changing their thinking, behavior, and emotional responses.
The Cognitive Behavioural and Person-Centred approaches to therapy have many theoretical and practical differences, however they are also similar in their view of the individuals they seek to help. This essay will look at a hypothetical case study, involving a client named Stan who has been ordered to attend therapy sessions by a judge in relation to a driving under the influence of alcohol charge. Stan presents a number of issues affecting his self-image, confidence, identity and motivation. For the purpose of this essay, Stan’s depression and anxiety will be examined in the context of both Cognitive Behavioural and Person-Centred approaches to therapy. Additionally, the integration of these two approaches and the limitations and ethical considerations of such an amalgam will also be addressed.
