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,

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a branch of psychotherapy that encompasses several approaches; falling under the heading of CBT. CBT is based on the premise that people 's emotional responses and behavior are strongly influenced by cognitions; the fundamental principle being: different cognitions give rise to different emotions and behaviors. CBT was developed out of a combination of both behavior and cognitive principles. CBT is the most empirically supported therapy model and is used to treat many mental disorders. The goal of CBT is to identify the maladaptive thinking and replace it with rational thinking with the intent to produce positive behavioral and emotional responses. CBT is appealing to many and widely used by clinicians but it is not without its critics.

This paper will discuss and identify cognitive-behavioral treatment options that is available for individual or group's needs in jail, prison, or community corrections. Also, discuss cognitive behavioral treatment as the individual or population moves from the correctional environment to the community. Yet, discuss the efficacy of the cognitive behavioral treatment options available.

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).

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a short-term, empirically valid amalgamation of facets from cognitive and behavior therapies. Cognitive-behaviorists believe that psychological problems stem from maladaptivity in both thought and behavior patterns, whether self-taught or learned from others. Therefore, changes have to take place in both thoughts and actions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is structured as collaboration between client and therapist, focusing on the present. A prominent aspect of CBT is the client’s duty to be an active participant in the therapeutic process (Corey, 2013).

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

Men suffer a similar fate in this situation as women, with increased financial and emotional strain. Still another effect, for the children of divorce is, what they experience becomes a part of their inner world. As these young men and women face the task of creating

Many people in the world today suffer from mental illnesses, including anxiety and depression. These two mental illnesses are considered to be the most common throughout the United States. In fact, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association (2015), approximately 40 million people suffer from anxiety, and 15 million people suffer from depression. These statistics are significant and overwhelming. Unfortunately, some people who suffer from these mental illnesses are not able to get the support they need because they do not have the appropriate resources. Furthermore, both therapy and medication do cost a price and not everyone is able to afford it. Treatment, such as therapy, is extremely important for people who suffer from

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.

This brief proposes three policy options that show the most promise for reducing depression in college students which are: increased state funding of programs that use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), expansion of mental health benefits legislation to non-parity states and school-based student health plans, and voluntary regulation of collaborative care models on college campuses through increased state funding linked to mental health outcomes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a collaborative practice model in which the practitioner and the patient focus on improving mental health by addressing the patient’s feelings, thoughts, and behaviors (T. Eick, J. Matuszak, & A. Stacey, personal communication, November 19th, 2015). This model is beneficial as it addresses challenging behavior by looking into the thoughts and feelings behind the behavior, instead of only trying to change the outward appearance. In the first sessions of this therapy, the client is told what CBT is, the client describes what they believe are the problems that need to be addressed, and goals are set to solve these problems (T. Eick, J. Matuszak, & A. Stacey, personal communication, November 19th, 2015). This is helpful because if the client has a say in setting their own goals they are more motivated to follow through with them. During the intervention sessions of this model the worker discusses dysfunctional thoughts with the client and how these appear in different situations. Goals are also reassessed in a collaborative approach to determine if they are working and are appropriate. When treatment is coming to an end, it is collaboratively discussed if the client and those important to them believe they are ready to end treatment. It is important that there is a summary of what skills the client has learned and for relapse prevention, identify possible future triggers and how the client will address these. This model is very

As the social worker becomes more mindful about the clients multiple and overlapping problems, they will be provided with a greater awareness about the best way to intervene across the micro, macro, and meso levels (Cournoyer, 2014). The way in which people view the world around them is based on their previous beliefs and experiences and can be either realistic and accurate or distorted (Walsh, 2013). Peoples distorted view of the world results in emotional and behavioural problems related to their inability to adapt to their environment (Walsh, 2013). Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that emerged in social work practice during the 1960s (Walsh, 2013). Research has shown that CBT is effective when working with clients who display symptoms of depression and anger (Dowd, Clen and Arnold, 2010).

Cognitive therapy focuses on the internal thoughts and feelings rather than behavior (Capella, 2009). There are several psychological disorders linked to the cognitive model. Depression is one of the disorders are linked the cognitive model, which is something that Darnell has. It is comprised of a cluster of depressing attitudes including but not limited to expecting the worst of one's self, the world presently and future called the cognitive triad (Corsini, Raynond et al, 2008). Some of his symptoms consist of not wanting to be sociable or maintaining friendships. Plus, even though Darnell is very athletic, he is very withdrawn from people and he feels his life is a waste, which he feels is the main problem. This type attitude interferes with healthy adaption concerning the patient's life. The type of depression that he has is moderate. . Moderate depression features are negative thinking decrease social functioning which reduces activity. Occupational performance can too be affected by this form of depression. To treat moderated depression, cognitive behavioral therapy is recommended but only after consulting with a physician to ensure proper treatment to be received. If required, a low dosage of medication can be administered and change of lifestyle can have a positive effect on someone suffering from this level of depression (Depression-Guide.com, 2009).
