Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based talk therapy that is effective in treating many psychiatric conditions. It is based on the theory that dysfunctional thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and can be modified. CBT uses techniques like cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, and behavioral activation to help patients identify and change maladaptive patterns. It has a strong evidence base from randomized controlled trials and is recommended as an important component of treatment for many disorders.
Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to change distorted and dysfunctional thinking patterns that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors. It involves identifying and modifying automatic thoughts, core beliefs, and cognitive distortions through techniques like thought records and cognitive restructuring. CBT has been effectively applied to treat various mental health issues like depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and substance abuse.
This document provides an overview of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It discusses key figures in the development of CBT like Epictetus, Albert Ellis, and Aaron Beck. The document outlines characteristics of CBT, including its focus on how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, its short-term and goal-oriented nature, emphasis on current behaviors, and collaborative approach between therapist and client. Specific CBT techniques are described, such as challenging irrational beliefs, keeping thought records, and assigning homework to change behaviors. Cognitive distortions that can be targeted in therapy are also defined.

Cognitive behavior therapy theory and practiceWuzna Haroon
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was developed in the 1960s by Aaron Beck based on his research challenging the psychoanalytic view of depression. Beck observed that depressed clients had negative biases in interpreting events that contributed to cognitive distortions. He developed CBT which focuses on identifying and modifying dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. The key assumptions of CBT are that cognitions influence behaviors and emotions, and that maladaptive thinking can be identified and changed. Common techniques include cognitive restructuring to challenge irrational thoughts, behavioral experiments, and homework assignments.
Cognitive behavioural therapy developed from the integration of cognitive and behavioural theories and techniques to treat psychiatric disorders. It is based on the core concepts that maladaptive cognitions influence dysfunctional emotions and behaviours, and aims to identify and modify cognitive distortions and errors through techniques like Socratic questioning, behavioural experiments, and cognitive restructuring. CBT is now an evidence-based treatment approach used across various mental health conditions through structured assessment, formulation of individual cases, and application of cognitive and behavioural techniques.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). CBT is based on the idea that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all connected, and that dysfunctional or negative thinking can contribute to anxiety. CBT uses techniques like cognitive restructuring to help people identify and modify distorted thoughts and beliefs. Homework is also assigned between sessions to apply CBT skills in daily life.
The cognitive perspective assumes that:
- Individuals with mental disorders have distorted and irrational thinking that can cause maladaptive behavior.
- It is one's thoughts about a problem, not the problem itself, that causes the mental disorder.
- People can overcome mental disorders by learning to use more rational and adaptive cognitions.

Cognitive therapy views individuals as actively interpreting their environment and experiences through cognitive schemas and automatic thoughts. Therapists use assessment tools to identify clients' distorted thinking patterns and work collaboratively with clients to challenge maladaptive assumptions and beliefs through techniques like Socratic dialogue and recording automatic thoughts. The goal is to replace ineffective thinking with more adaptive cognitions to improve functioning.
Cognitive behaviour therapy is based on the idea that how we think, feel and behave are interconnected. Negative thinking can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. CBT aims to help patients identify relationships between unhealthy thinking patterns, disruptive behaviors and negative emotions. Therapists use techniques like Socratic questioning to challenge patients' maladaptive beliefs and assumptions, with the goal of replacing dysfunctional thoughts with more realistic ones. This promotes self-awareness, emotional intelligence and reduces symptoms by examining current situations and solving current problems.

The downward arrow technique is a cognitive behavioral therapy tool used to uncover core beliefs underlying automatic thoughts. It involves asking the client questions about what their automatic thoughts imply about themselves on deeper levels. This helps reveal core beliefs, which are deeply held views about the self, others, and the world that fuel emotional distress. Examples showed how asking successive "what does this mean about you?" questions led clients to articulate core beliefs like "I'm worthless," "I'm flawed and undeserving of love," and "I'm alone and always will be."
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) developed from two approaches - rational emotive behavior therapy and cognitive therapy. CBT aims to identify and change unhelpful cognitive patterns and behaviors. The ABC model in CBT examines the relationship between activating events, beliefs, and consequences. Core beliefs underlie automatic thoughts and influence information processing. CBT helps patients identify cognitive distortions like black and white thinking and teaches new behaviors through exposure exercises to improve functioning.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) aims to change maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. Three major contributors are Aaron Beck, Albert Ellis, and Donald Meichenbaum. Ellis developed rational emotive behavioral therapy which teaches that emotions stem from beliefs and thinking patterns. Beck's cognitive therapy focuses on identifying and modifying negative schemas and cognitive distortions. Meichenbaum's cognitive behavior modification emphasizes self-statements and developing coping skills. Therapists use techniques like cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, and stress inoculation training.
The document discusses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. It provides objectives and content for a presentation on these topics, including definitions of CBT and mindfulness, models like ABCDE that are used in CBT, and techniques involved. The role of mindfulness in developing acceptance is explained. Examples are given of how to apply CBT models to specific situations. Core beliefs and developing new beliefs are also addressed.
Cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBGT) uses cognitive and behavioral techniques to help clients change maladaptive thought and behavior patterns. Key techniques include identifying automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions, monitoring moods and behaviors, relaxation, problem-solving, and relapse prevention. CBGT is effective because it allows clients to learn from others, get feedback, and practice skills in a social context while also receiving individual attention from the therapist.
Cognitive therapy attempts to change problematic thoughts and behaviors by addressing faulty or unhelpful thinking patterns. Therapists help clients identify irrational beliefs and replace them with more realistic perspectives. Cognitive therapy aims to correct automatic negative thoughts that perpetuate issues like depression. It uses tactics like challenging assumptions, evaluating evidence, and discussing alternative solutions. Rational emotive therapy similarly seeks to transform irrational beliefs that cause strong emotions by teaching clients to recognize and dispute unhelpful "should" statements. Cognitive behavioral therapy combines cognitive and behavioral methods, emphasizing the discovery and modification of thinking that leads to dysfunctional behaviors.

Schema therapy focuses on early maladaptive schemas, which are broad dysfunctional patterns developed in childhood from toxic experiences. These schemas form a person's sense of self and cause dysfunctional coping styles. Therapists help clients heal the vulnerable child within, reduce the power of coping styles, build a healthy adult, and use emotive, interpersonal, cognitive, and behavioral techniques to tackle schemas. The goal is to break out of self-limiting patterns and empower clients.
“CBT is a process of teaching, coaching, and reinforcing positive behaviors. CBT helps people to identify cognitive patterns or thoughts and emotions that are linked with behaviors.”
This document discusses the key assumptions of the cognitive approach to mental health. It states that:
- Individuals with mental disorders have distorted and irrational thinking which can cause maladaptive behavior.
- It is usually how one thinks about a problem, rather than the problem itself, that causes psychological issues.
- People can overcome disorders by learning more adaptive thinking patterns. If one's thoughts are more positive, their mental state can improve.
Aaron Beck was a pioneering psychiatrist who developed cognitive therapy. He was born in 1921 and had a difficult childhood that influenced his later work. Beck developed cognitive therapy which focuses on identifying and disputing dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. Cognitive therapy has been successfully applied to many disorders and is now one of the most influential psychotherapy approaches.

Hypertension and it's role of physiotherapy in it.Vishal kr Thakur
This particular slides consist of- what is hypertension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

5. Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy (CBT)
“The stronger person is not the one making the
most noise but the one who can quietly direct
the conversation toward defining and solving
problems.”
Aaron Temkin Beck.
(1921-2021)
6. Introduction.
• Initially developed in the early 1960s by Dr. Aaron Beck of the University of
Pennsylvania.
• During clients’ cognitive development they learn incorrect habits of
processing and interpreting information.
• Aim is thus to unravel these distortions and help them to learn more
different and realistic ways of processing and reality-testing information.
7. Basic concepts.
• ‘Cognition’ is defined as that function that involves inferences about
one’s experiences and about the occurrence and control of future
events. It includes the processes involved in identifying and predicting
complex relations among events for the purposes of adaptation.
• Humans have capacity for both primal/primitive and for higher level
cognitive processing.
8. Basic concepts.
• Schemas.
Structures that consist of people’s fundamental beliefs and assumptions.
They are meaning making cognitive structures. They are relatively stable
cognitive patterns that influence through their beliefs, how people select
and synthesize incoming information. Developed early in life through
personal experiences and identification with significant others and
reinforced by further learning experiences.
9. Basic concepts.
• Modes.
Networks of cognitive, affective, motivational and behavioural
schemas. Modes are fundamental to personality since they interpret
and adapt to emerging and ongoing situations. CBT approaches
dysfunctional modes by deactivating them, modifying their content
and structure and by constructing adaptive modes to neutralize them.
10. Basic concepts.
• Cognitive vulnerability.
Refers to humans’ cognitive frailty. Because of their schemas, each
person has a set of unique vulnerabilities and sensitivities that
predispose them to psychological distress. When they exhibit
psychological problems, their dysfunctional schemas and beliefs lead
them systematically to bias information in unhelpful ways.
11.
12. Basic concepts.
• Automatic thoughts.
Thoughts which occur spontaneously, without effort or choice. In
psychological disorders, automatic thoughts are often distorted, extreme,
or otherwise inaccurate.
Not so deeply buried as beliefs and schemas. People’s self-evaluations and
self-instructions appear to be derived from deeper structures- their self-
schemas (deeper beliefs and assumptions).
13.
14. Cognitive distortions.
Dichotomous thinking By thinking that something has to be either exactly as we want it or it is a failure.
“Unless I do extremely well in this exam, I’m a failure.”
Selective abstraction Picking out an idea or fact from an event to support their depressed or negative
thinking. The boyfriend who becomes jealous at seeing his GF tilt her head
towards a man at a noisy event.
Mind reading Refers to the idea that we know what another person is thinking about us.
Negative prediction When an individual believes that something bad is going to happen, and there is
no evidence to support this, this is a negative prediction.
Catastrophizing Taking one event that one is concerned about and exaggerating it so that he/she
becomes fearful. Stomach pain=cancer.
Overgeneralization. Making a rule based on a few negative events, individuals distort their thinking
through overgeneralization. A woman concludes after a disappointing date that
“All men are alike.”
15. Cognitive distortions.
Labeling and mislabeling A negative view of oneself is created by self-labeling based on some errors or
mistakes. “I faltered while speaking. I’m a horrible speaker.”
Magnification or
minimization
Cognitive distortions can occur when individuals magnify imperfections or
minimize good points. They lead to conclusions that support a belief of inferiority
and a feeling of depression.
Magnification= “If I appear the slightest bit nervous in class, it’ll be a disaster.”
Minimization= A man describing his terminally ill mother as having a slight ‘cold.’
Personalization Taking an event that is unrelated to the individual and making it meaningful
produces the cognitive distortion of personalization. “I must have done
something to offend him.”
16. Cognitive model of development of schemas.
• Individual beliefs begin in early childhood and develop throughout life. Early
childhood experiences lead to basic beliefs about oneself and one’s world.
• These beliefs can be organized into cognitive schemas.
• Positive experiences of support and love from parents, lead to beliefs such as “I
am lovable” and “I am competent,” which in turn lead to positive views/cognitive
schemas of themselves in adulthood.
17. Cognitive model of development of schemas.
• Persons who develop psychological dysfunctions, in contrast to those with healthy functioning,
have negative experiences that may lead to beliefs such as “I am unlovable” and “I am
inadequate.”
• These developmental experiences, along with critical incidents/traumatic experiences, influence
individuals’ belief systems.
• Negative experiences, such as being ridiculed by someone, may lead to conditional beliefs such
as “If others don’t like what I do, I am not valuable.”
• Such beliefs may become basic to the individual as negative/maladaptive cognitive schemas.
18. Cognitive model of development of schemas.
• Early maladaptive schemas.
Assumed to be true about themselves and their world.
Resistant to change
Cause difficulties in individual’s lives.
Usually activated by a change in one’s world (triggering event), such
as a loss of a job.
19. Cognitive model of development of schemas.
When these conditions occur, individuals often react with strong negative
emotions.
Are the result of previous dysfunctional childhood interactions with family
members.
Through these belief systems that children develop, they start to view
reality in ways that cause problems in functioning internally or with others.
Likely to continue through adolescence and adulthood.
25. Cognitive model of development of schemas.
Young (1999) identified 18 early maladaptive schemas which he
classified into the following 5 domains.
Disconnection &
rejection
Impaired autonomy &
performance
Impaired limits
Over-vigilance &
inhibitions
Other directedness
26. Goals of therapy.
Identifying negative automatic thoughts (NATs) and the
cognitive schemas that they represent.
Changing the dysfunctional cognitive schemas through:
Schema
reinterpretation
Schema
modification
Schema
restructuring
27. Goals of therapy.
To remove biases or distortions in thinking so that individuals may
function more effectively.
• NOTE: Generally, when establishing goals, cognitive therapists focus on
being specific, prioritizing goals, and working collaboratively with clients.
The goals may have affective, behavioral, and cognitive components.
28. Assessment in CBT.
• Careful attention is paid to
assessment of client problems and
cognitions, both at the beginning of
therapy and throughout the entire
process, so that the therapist may
clearly conceptualize and diagnose
the client’s problems.
• client interviews
• self-monitoring
• thought sampling,
• assessment of beliefs and
assumptions
• self-report questionnaires
Techniques.
29. Therapeutic process.

39. Rational Emotive Behaviour
Therapy (REBT)
People and things do not upset us. Rather, we upset
ourselves by believing that they can upset us.
Albert Ellis.
40. Introduction.
• 1955: Rational therapy (RT).
• 1961: Name changed to ‘rational emotive therapy’ (RET).
• 1993: Name further changed to ‘rational emotive behaviour therapy’ (REBT).
• Based on the premise that our cognitions, emotions and behaviours are an integrated system
and when we are disturbed, we think-feel-act in dysfunctional, self-defeating ways.
• Besides aiming to teach clients rational and appropriate behaviours, REBT also aims to teach
clients how to dispute irrational ideas and self-defeating behaviours and how to use powerful
cognitive-emotive-behavioural methods as self-helping skills.
41. Introduction.
• Besides aiming to teach clients rational and appropriate behaviours,
REBT also aims to teach clients how to dispute irrational ideas and
self-defeating behaviours and how to use powerful cognitive-
emotive-behavioural methods as self-helping skills.
43. Philosophical underpinnings.
Humanism.
• Human beings are viewed as holistic, goal-directed organisms who are
important because they are alive; is consistent with that of ethical
humanism, which emphasizes human interests over the interests of a deity.
• Ellis believes that individuals preferably should have unconditional self-
acceptance (USA). They should accept that they make mistakes, that they
have worth, and that some of their own assets and qualities are stronger
than other assets that they or others possess.
44. Philosophical underpinnings.
Rationality.
• Refers to people using efficient, flexible, logical, and scientific ways of
attempting to achieve their values and goals not to the absence of feelings
or emotions.
45. Basic concepts.
1) Fundamental and primary goals.
• 3 fundamental goals (FG): to survive, to be relatively free from pain and to be reasonable
satisfied and content.
• REBT sees humans’ basic goals as preferences/ desires rather than needs or necessities.
Rational living consists of:
thinking/feeling/behaving in ways which contribute to the attainment of the chosen
goals;
striking a sensible balance between short-range and long-range pleasures/ hedonism.
• Irrational living consists of thinking/feeling/behaving in ways which block the attainment
of the chosen goals.
46. Basic concepts.
2) Emotion, cognition and behaviour.
• Emotion thinking are so closely related that they
usually accompany each other, act in a circular
cause and effect relationship, and in certain
respects are essentially the same thing. And
one’s thinking and emotion both interact with
behaviour. For instance, people usually act on
the basis of thoughts and emotions and their
actions influence how they think and feel.
47. Basic concepts.
3) Healthy and unhealthy emotions.
• REBT emphasizes health or appropriate emotions.
• Healthy emotions are those which help in achieving a balance between short-range and long-range hedonism
while unhealthy emotions are those which interfere in this process.
• Both positive/pleasurable/enjoyable and negative emotions can be healthy as well as unhealthy.
Pride
Excessive
pride/arrogance
Positive
emotion
Disappointment
Frustration
Regret
Hostility
Excessive anxiety
Negative
emotion
48.
49. Basic concepts.
4) Two biological tendencies.
• A tension exists between two opposing creative biological tendencies.
• Despite a stronger tendency towards irrationality, humans also have some degree of free choice in how much
they make themselves emotionally disturbed.
Rationality Irrationality
50. Basic concepts.
5) ABC theory of personality.
G: goals, both fundamental and primary;
A: adversities or activating events in a person’s life;
B: beliefs, both rational and irrational;
C: consequences, both emotional and behavioural;
D: disputing irrational beliefs (DIBS);
E: effective new philosophy of life.
D and E has been added later. G can
be added at the beginning to provide
a context for people’s ABCs.
A*B= C Activating event*belief (rational/irrational)= consequences (emotional/behavioural)
51.
52. Basic concepts.
Rational beliefs Irrational beliefs
• Healthy.
• Productive, adaptive, consistent with social reality.
• Generally consists of preferences, desires and wants.
• Characterised by ‘preferential thinking.’
• When faced with adversities (A) which sabotage their
goals (G), people engaging in preferential thinking,
explicitly react with their belief systems (Bs) in realistic
ways experiencing appropriate emotional and goal-
oriented behavioural consequences (Cs).
• Unhealthy.
• Rigid, dogmatic, unhealthy, maladaptive
• Get in the way of people’s efforts to achieve their goals.
They comprise ‘demands,’ ‘musts’ and ‘shoulds.’
Characterized by ‘demanding thinking.’
• React with their belief systems (Bs) in unrealistic ways
experiencing inappropriate emotional and behavioural
consequences (Cs).

61. Basic concepts.
6) Ego disturbance and low frustration tolerance.
• Ego disturbance (self-damning): arises from the belief, “I must do well and win approval for
my performances” because it leads people to thinking and feeling that they are inadequate
and undeserving persons when they do not perform as well as they must.
• Low frustration tolerance (LFT): arises from the grandiose belief that people think they are
so special that conditions must be easy and satisfying for them. (“Others must treat me
kindly and considerably!”).
62. Therapeutic goals.
Inelegant change goals Elegant change goals
• Targets symptomatic relief.
• At D, REBT targets the cognitions, emotions and
behaviours that accompany self-defeating
feelings (anxiety/ depression/ dysfunctional
behaviours like social anxiety).
• The E, focuses merely on individual
symptoms/problems.
• Targets significant lessening of client’s
‘disturbability.’
• At D, ‘musturbatory thinking’ is challenged.
• E targets symptomatic relief and most importantly
developing and implementing an effective new
philosophy of life.
Unconditional self-acceptance (USA)
Unconditional other-acceptance (UOA)
High frustration tolerance (HFT)
69. Dialectical Behaviour
Therapy (DBT)
“Radical acceptance rests on letting go
of the illusion of control and a
willingness to accept and notice things
as they are right now, without judging.”
Marsha Linehan.
70. Introduction.
• A psychosocial treatment initially developed by Marsha Linehan for the treatment
of individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
• Cognitive-behavioural approach.
• Can help people who have difficulty with emotional regulation or are exhibiting
self-destructive behaviours (such as eating disorders and substance use disorders.
This type of therapy is also sometimes used to treat post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD).
72. Underlying theories.
1. Biosocial theory (Marsha Linehan, 1993).
• BPD primarily a disorder of emotion dysregulation;
• Emerges from transactions between individuals with biological vulnerabilities and specific
environmental influences.
• Contribution of an invalidating developmental context (characterized by intolerance toward the
expression of private emotional experiences, in particular emotions that are not supported by
observable events).
• Failure to learn how to understand, label, regulate, or tolerate emotional responses leading to
oscillation between emotional inhibition and extreme emotional lability.
73.
74. Underlying theories.
2. Behavioural theory.
• "Behaviour" refers to anything an individual does, and includes thoughts, feelings,
and overt action.
• Any behaviour can be conceptualized according to the principles of classical and
operant conditioning and observational learning (modeling). It thus contributes
to the non-judgmental stance in DBT that every behaviour is caused.
• Behavioural interventions designed to increase the frequency of adaptive
behaviours and decrease the frequency of maladaptive behaviours.
75. Underlying theories.
3. Dialectical philosophy.
• Reality is interrelated and connected, made of opposing forces, and always changing.
• Opposite views can exist in one person at the same time (e.g., "I want to die" and "I want
to live," or "I wish to be sober" and "I want to continue to use substances"), leading to
tension and conflict, and conflict may be necessary to bring about change.
• The aim is to enhance dialectical thinking patterns (looking for truth in both positions) to
replace rigid, dichotomous thinking.
• The primary dialectic in DBT is between change and acceptance.
76. Stages of treatment.
Stage IV: Incompleteness
Stage III: Problems in living
Stage II: Quiet desperation
Stage I: Life in hell
Pretreatment stage
Pretreatment stage.
• Setting treatment goals
• Obtaining commitment to therapy
Stage I.
• Reducing ‘dyscontrol’
• Reducing life threatening behaviours
• Reducing therapy interfering behaviours
• Decreasing quality of life interfering behaviours
Increasing behavioural skills.
Stage II.
• Addressing issues of invalidation, inhibited grieving,
boredom, and emptiness.
Stage III.
• Increasing self-respect
• Improving quality of life.
Stage IV.
• Awareness of self, feelings of incompleteness, and
spiritual fulfilment.
77. Treatment module.
• Contains four treatment
modes designed to address
five functions/goals. It is
most effective when used as
full model.
Individual
therapy
Skills
training
(usually in
group form)
Phone
consultation
Therapist
consultation
team
78. Treatment module.
The five functions:
• to increase the client's motivation to change;
• to enhance the client's capabilities;
• to generalize the client's gains to his or her larger environment
• to structure the environment to reinforce the client's gains;
• to increase therapist motivation and competence
79. Individual treatment strategies.
• Diary Card, a monitoring tool on which clients record daily ratings of
emotions, problem behaviours, and skills use. If suicidal or self-injurious
behaviours have occurred, these are the primary targets of the session.
• Addressing therapy interfering behaviours such as homework non-
completion or lateness to session.
• This is followed by quality of life interfering behaviours, such as substance
use or moderate to severe depression, and behavioural skills building.
80. Individual treatment strategies.
• The therapist and client address the highest order target with a behaviour chain
analysis in which they identify links (thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and external
events) that lead up to a problem behaviour as well as consequences of
behaviour.
• A solution analysis is then used to identify points of intervention that would
disrupt this chain of events and prevent the problem behaviour from recurring.
• The therapist uses DBT strategies to increase commitment to trying the new
behaviour. Role-plays and imaginational rehearsal are used in session to help
the client practice new behaviours.
81. Group skills training.
• Skills training generally
occurs in weekly groups.
• Groups are conducted in a
psychoeducational format in
four modules.
82. Phone consultation
• Used on an as-needed basis to help clients generalize skills use outside of
the therapy room.
• Clients are encouraged to call their individual therapist when they either
need help utilizing a particular skill or when they do not know what skill to
use.
• Calls typically last between five and 15 min.
• Notably, the "24-hr rule" prohibits calling for phone coaching within 24 hr
of self-injury.
83. Therapist consultation team.
• Functions to enhance the therapists' motivation and capability to deliver effective
treatment and to adhere to DBT principles.
• Team typically comprised of 4 to 8 therapists who meet weekly for 60 to 120 min.
• Team meetings are conducted by a leader who guides the team in a mindfulness
exercise and then sets the agenda according to members' needs.
• Team members may seek help applying DBT to individual cases or may ask for
support when feeling burned out.
86. Introduction.
• Brief focal therapy conforming to cognitive and psychodynamic roots.
• Developed by Anthony Ryle since late 1970s.
• Initially was mainly concerned with treatment of neurotic disorders. Over
the past years, has been adapted to treat personality disorders, specifically
BPD.
• Imbibed ideas from both ‘object relations theory’ and the work of
Vygotsky.
87. Structure/ underlying theories.
1) Procedural sequence model (PSM).
An attempt to understand aim-directed action, supposing that all aim-
directed activity is the consequence of ordered sequence of aims generation,
environmental evaluation, plan formation, action, evaluation of consequences
if necessary and remedial procedural revision.
Procedural sequences are based on the basis of experiences and they are
checked at the last step and revised accordingly if not effective.
88. Structure/ underlying theories.
1) Procedural sequence (PS) model.
While procedural sequences are therefore usually effective and adaptive,
some might be faulty and repeatedly used without any revision. The
repetitive use of these sequences thus lead to the development of
psychological disorders.
PS have cognitive, motivational, affective and behavioural elements.
90. Structure/ underlying theories.
Unrevised faulty procedures.
Traps Dilemmas SNAG (subtle negative aspect of
goals)
• Represent repetitive cycles of
behaviour in which the
consequences of behaviour feed
back into its perpetuation.
• Representation of false choices or
of unduly narrowed options. The
final ‘check-step’ functions but
immediately switches the
individual to an opposing and
equally maladaptive procedure,
the check-stop of which in turn
switches back to the first
procedure
• Anticipations of the future
consequences of actions that are
so negative that they are capable
of halting a procedure before it
even begins.
91. Structure/ underlying theories.
Restricted repertoire of procedures.
• CAT supposes that neurotic difficulty results from the operation of unrevised
maladaptive procedural sequences.
• A second cause of difficulty was undue restriction in the procedural repertoire. Causes:
• Impoverished
environmental
opportunities for
learning new
procedures.
• E.g., in cases of
emotional deprivation
and neglect
• Deliberate attempts
by caregivers to
restrict procedural
repertoires.
• E.g., by injunctions to
secrecy in cases of
sexual abuse.
• Difficulty in new
emotional learning
owing to previously
learned faulty
procedures.
92. Structure/ underlying theories.
2) Theory of reciprocal roles
(RR).
• Was developed to improve CAT’s
capacity to deal with more debilitating
disorders (like personality disorders).
• Our early learning about the social
world is stored in the form of
internalized templates of reciprocal
roles.
RR
Role for self
Role for
other
A paradigm
for their reln.
93. Structure/ underlying theories.
• RRs are thus commonly shared
templates.
• Individual internalizes the roles
learned from their significant others
and also as a result of experiences.
• Later deployed in life which if
maladaptive can lead to interpersonal
problems with the person with whom
the particular individual was sharing a
RR.
RR
Functional or
benign
Caregiver/
care-receiver
Harsh or
dysfunctional
Bully/ victim
94. Commonly used concepts/words.
• Reciprocal roles (RRs): A named pattern of relating, originating in childhood
with an actual or internalized other.
• Reciprocal roles procedures (RRPs): the feelings/actions/beliefs resulting from being at
one end of a reciprocal role.
• Target problem procedure (TPP): the problematic RRPs that are the focus of the therapy.
The unconscious redirection of inappropriate feelings in the present, of a relationship
that was important in the past. This is helpful was identifying RRs and RRPs.
95. Commonly used concepts/words.
• Zone of proximal development (ZPD): refers to patient’s potential space for
change, with the help of another, namely the therapist.
• Scaffolding: The provision by the therapist of just sufficient support to allow
clients to do with the therapist what they cannot yet do alone. Providing a
structure (e.g., the timetable).
96. Stages.
Stage 1: Assess suitability for CAT by excluding active psychosis and substance misuse;
discuss the nature and duration of treatment (duration: approximately one session).
Stage 2: Explores client history, and uses the patient–therapist relationship as well as the
Psychotherapy File and Personality Structure Questionnaire in order to create a
reformulation of the patient’s difficulties. Patient and therapist collaborate to create a
sequential diagrammatic reformulation and narrative reformulation letter (duration:
approximately four sessions).
Stage 3: patient encouraged to use diaries and self-monitoring to identify problem
procedures. The reformulation is used to understand developments in the therapeutic
relationship, and to assimilate memories and feelings accessed as result of the work.
Awareness of the end of therapy is maintained.
Stage 4: Therapist and patient reflect upon the implications of ending therapy and
record thoughts and feelings in goodbye letters.
98. Brief concepts/ tools.
• The psychotherapy file.
A structured, clinical questionnaire covering a number of particular reciprocal roles and
problem procedures.
• Sequential Diagrammatic Reformulation (SDR).
The SDR provides a visual map of the reformulation, naming key reciprocal roles and
procedures which are to be the focus of therapy. Through the course of the therapy exits
will be added to the map.
99. Brief concepts/ tools.
• The reformulation letter.
A narrative account of the patient’s life story which makes clear the developmental
origins of the maladaptive repetitive patterns and dysfunctional reciprocal roles.
Aim: to identify, improve, alter and interact with the reformulation letter.
100. Brief concepts/ tools.
• The goodbye letter.
Briefly outlines the reason the patient came to treatment and recounts the story of the
therapy
Gives an account of what has been achieved during therapy and also to mention things
that have not yet been achieved.
Outlines the therapist’s hopes and fears for the patient in the future.
Many patients choose to give the therapist a goodbye letter of their own.
103. Introduction.
• Root in Buddhist traditions extending back over 2500 years.
• An adaption of MBSR (mindfulness based stress reduction) as
developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre by Jon
Kabat-Zinn and colleagues (1990).
104. What is mindfulness?
• The awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose
in the present moment non-judgementally.
105. Three core elements of mindfulness.
• Intention
• Attention
• Attitude
Attitudinal foundations of mindfulness practice.
• Non-judgement
• Patience
• Beginner’s mind
• Trust
• Non-striving
• Acceptance
• Letting go
106. What mindfulness is NOT.
• A relaxation practice;
• Not a religion;
• About transcending ordinary life;
• Not about emptying the mind of thoughts;
• Not an escape from pain;
• Not difficult; not easy.
107. Mind wandering.
• We notice when the mind has wandered off, we note where it has
gone and with gentle acceptance, we let go and refocus our attention
back to the object of meditation. We are just noticing something
important about the nature of the mind.
• Thoughts are like waves on the ocean, coming and going. It is
important to learn that YOU are NOT your thoughts.
108. Being mode vs doing mode.
• Being mode of mind is intentional.
• Time focus is the present and the processing of present moment
experience.
• Direct experience rather than ‘thinking about.’
• Thoughts and feelings are experienced as passing phenomena.
109.
110.
111.
112. Three minute breathe - practice.
• An Awareness Practice shift to Being Mode.
• Three steps:
1. AWARENESS: Thoughts, Body Sensations and
Emotions
2. GATHERING: Breathe in the Belly
3. EXPANDING: out to the Body as a whole
113. The triangle of awareness.
Body
sensations
Thoughts
Emotions
114. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Program.
• 8 week group program, 2 hours;
• First half – concentration/steadying the mind and Second half – wider
awareness/relapse prevention;
• Includes both Formal and Informal Mindfulness Practices;
• Includes CBT information and exercises for preventing relapse
115. Essentials of MBCT program.
1) Identifying and stepping out of automatic pilot
2) Dealing with barriers
3) Mindfulness of Breath
4) Staying Present
5) Allowing and Letting Be
6) Thoughts are Not Facts
7) Taking Care of Ourselves – Nourishing Activities
8) 8) Using what has been learned
116. Some Practices and Exercises.
• Mindful Eating and other Every
Day Activities
• Mindful Hearing and Seeing
• Body Scan
• Breath Awareness Meditation
• Sounds and Thought Meditation
• 3 Minute Breathing Space/Coping
• Mindful Movement
• Noticing – Pleasant/Unpleasant
Events
• Thought records
• Reviewing new coping strategies
117. MBCT differs from CBT.
• Different from CBT in that it encourages participants to “allow” difficult
thoughts and feelings simply to be there – not changing them in any way –
accepting and bringing them a kindly awareness.
• Works with PROCESS rather than content
• Participants come to experience the coming and going of thoughts, emotions
and feelings and this is profound and life changing.
118. Integration of Mindfulness and CBT.
• Mindfulness helps us to shift into a different relationship to the body,
emotions, sensations and thoughts.
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought content that might be
contributing to suffering.
119. Mindfulness and CBT together aim to increase
resiliency by:
• Increasing awareness of habits of mind, body, and emotions.
• Teaching strategies to manage habitual reactions that increase stress.
• Working with difficult emotional states to decrease the distress they cause
122. Introduction.
• Grounded in behaviourism but is underpinned by analysis of cognitive
processes.
• Chief purpose: to encourage individuals to respond to situations
constructively, while simultaneously negotiating and accepting
challenging cognitive events and corresponding feelings, rather than
replacing them.
123. Theoretical underpinnings.
• Functional contextualism
A pragmatic philosophical position that recognises that psychological
events (encompassing cognition, affective responses and behaviour)
are influenced by antecedents within a specific context.
124. Theoretical underpinnings.
• Relational frame theory
• A conceptual framework for understanding “the learned ability to arbitrarily relate
events, mutually and in combination, and to change the functions of events based on
these relations.”
• According to RFT maladaptive processes occur as a result of the individual avoiding
“private events” (cognitive processes and affective responses) based on their negative
appraisal of these events. As the individual engages in ACT they learn to integrate these
private events, consolidate personal values and adopt new ways of behaving.
125. ACT acronyms.
• Psychological inflexibility (FEAR)
Fusion with thoughts
Evaluation of experience
Avoidance of experience
Reason –giving for behaviour.
• Psychological flexibility (ACT)
Accept reactions
Choose a valued direction
Take action
127. ACT acronyms.
• Psychological flexibility
Psychological flexibility is contacting the present moment fully as a
conscious, historical human being, and based on what the situation
affords changing or persisting in behaviour in the service of chosen
values.
128. Essential/core components of ACT.
• Contact with the present moment
• Acceptance
• Defusion
• Self as context
• Committed action
• Values.
129. Essential/core components of ACT.
Contact with the present moment/ mindfulness.
Conscious awareness of your experience in the present moment enables
you to perceive accurately what is happening in the ‘here and now.’
Acceptance
Noticing private experiences without attempts to alter or prevent them,
allowing them to run their course without defense.
130. Essential/core components of ACT.
Defusion
Looking at thoughts, rather than from thoughts. Noticing thoughts, rather than
being caught up in thoughts. Seeing thoughts as what they are, not as what they
seem to be.
Self as context
A transcendent sense of self: a consistent perspective from which to observe and
accept all changing experiences. (Often called The Observing Self/ pure awareness).
131. Essential/core components of ACT.
Values.
Chosen life directions; what one wants to be; what things one wishes to
do; different from goals.
Committed action
Overt behaviour in the service of values (may require skills training)
Committed action is: values-guided, effective & mindful.
132. ACT effective treatment for:
• workplace stress
• test anxiety
• Social anxiety disorder
• depression
• obsessive-compulsive disorder,
• psychosis.
• It has also been used to help
treat medical conditions such
as chronic pain, substance
abuse, and diabetes.
134. Introduction.
• Cognitive–behavioural intervention geared to improve an individual's ability to
cope with stressful life experiences.
• When such stressful problems either create psychological problems or exacerbate
existing medical problems, PST may be of help, either as a sole intervention or in
combination with other approaches.
• The underlying assumption of this approach is that symptoms of
psychopathology can often be understood as the negative consequences of
ineffective or maladaptive coping.
135. Introduction.
• Broadly speaking, one can divide people who can be helped by
problem solving into:
1. Those who generally cope well but are not able to do so at present,
perhaps because of the illness or the nature of the
dilemma/problem;
2. Those with poor coping resources (requires long-term intervention).
136. Steps in assessment of problem solving.
Identify patient’s
problems
Identify patient’s
resources: assets
& supports
Obtain
information from
other sources
Decide whether
problem solving
is appropriate
Decide on
practical
arrangements
Establish
therapeutic
contact
137. Steps in problem solving.
Decide which
problem(s) to be
tackled first
Agree goal(s)
Work out steps
necessary to
achieve those
goal(s)
Decide tasks
necessary to tackle
first step
Review progress in
next session
(difficulties
encountered)
decide on next step
based on progress;
agree subsequent
tasks
Proceed as above to
agreed goals or
redefine problems &
goals.
Work on further
problems if
necessary
138. Problem-solving therapy can provide training in adaptive problem-
solving skills as a means of better resolving and/or coping with stressful
problems. Such skills include:
• Making effective decisions.
• Generating creative means of dealing with problems.
• Accurately identifying barriers to reaching one’s goals.
Skills taught.
139. • To identify which types of stressors tend to trigger emotions, such as sadness, tension, and
anger.
• Better understand and manage negative emotions.
Become more hopeful about your abilities to deal with difficult problems in life.
• Be more accepting of problems that are unsolvable.
• Be more planful and systematic in the way you attempt to resolve stressful problems.
• Be less avoidant when problems occur.
• Be less impulsive about wanting a “quick fix” solution.
Goals of PST.
140. • Generating possible solutions
to problems
• Examining alternatives
• Cognitive rehearsal
• Role-play and role reversal
Intervention strategies.
• Activity scheduling
• Challenging erroneous beliefs
• Contingency management
• Providing information and
advice
141. PST effective treatment for:
• Major depressive disorder
• Generalized anxiety disorder
• Emotional distress
• Suicidal ideation
• Relationship difficulties
• Certain personality disorders
• Poor quality of life and
emotional distress related to
medical illness, such as cancer
or diabetes.

AB born. 1921. Third surviving son of Russian Jewish immigrant parents. Parents had an elder son before and an only daughter to influenza in 1919 leading AB’s mother into a period of depression (episodes present throughout life).
At 7 years of age, Beck had a near-fatal disease which reinforced his mother’s overprotectiveness. Beck came to think that he was a replacement for his sister, and that his mother was disappointed that he was not a girl. When Beck was seven years old, he broke an arm in a playground accident. The broken bone became infected, resulting in a generalized septicemia (blood poisoning) that kept him in the hospital long enough to miss promotion into second grade.
Beck missed his friends and didn't like being a grade behind them. With the help of some tutoring from his older brothers, as well as his own determination, Beck not only caught up with his former classmates but ended up being promoted a year ahead of them. He regarded his success as a psychological turning point.
Developed phobias while growing up: blood/injury phobia, which he related to his experience with surgery for his broken arm at age seven. The surgeon apparently began to make the incision before Beck was fully anesthetized.
Fear of suffocation, which was apparently caused by a bad case of whooping cough, chronic childhood asthma, and an older brother who used to tease Beck by putting a pillow over his face.
Fears of heights and of public speaking. Beck also drew from his own experiences when writing his first book on depression, which he published in 1967 (The diagnosis and management of depression) . Beck was mildly depressed while he was writing the book, but regarded the project as a kind of self-treatment.
Beck's cognitive therapy may be categorized as a variant of constructivism.
Posits that humans are meaning-makers in their lives and essentially construct their own realities.
Actively engaged in ordering their experiences through assigning emotional as well as intellectual significance to them.
Determine their own life course.
Humans continue to grow and develop over the entire course of their lifespan.
Schemas are NOT pathological by definition. They can be ‘adaptive’ or ‘maladaptive.’ They can range from being ‘latent’ to ‘predominant.’ When they are ‘hypervalent’ they are pre-potent and easily triggered.
Psychopathology= crowding of maladaptive schemas + Inhibition of adaptive schemas.
Childhood traumas (a 5-year old who went away on a trip and returned to find the family dog dead, develops the belief, “When I’m physically not close to others, something bad will happen.”)
Negative treatment in childhood (negative parenting/abuse)
Social learning/ modelling (marital partners have memories about how parents behaved; parent modelling may thus provide the rules and regulations, shoulds and should-nots that the couple brings into the marriage.
Inadequate experiences for the learning of coping skills
They are less accessible to awareness than voluntary thoughts.
Counterpart of what Freud called “preconscious thinking.”
They are part of a person’s internal monologue- can take the form of both words and images.
Dysfunctional beliefs embedded in cognitive schemas contribute to systematic cognitive distortions, more accessible in automatic thoughts, that both characterise and maintain psychological distress.
Therapists can provide reasons for the importance of examining the connections between how clients think, feel and act. Furthermore they can introduce the concept of NATs and provide an example of how underlying perceptions influence feelings.
Self-monitoring devices (DTR)
Born. 1913 (Pittsburg, Pennsylvania).. Father was absent much of the times. Mother was benignly neglectful (immersed in own pleasures). Parents divorced at when ellis was 12.
At 4.5 years Ellis almost died of tonsillitis and nephrilitis and was frequently hospitalised thereafter.
Developeed phobias in childhood and adolescence---social phobia mostly (I viewed public speaking as a fate worse than public masturbation). However, overcame his terror by giving political talks continuously for 3 months at age 19..forced himself to speak with women in a chain like manner.
Started as a graduate in business administration. Then moved to clinical psychology. Trained as a psychoanalyst. But condemned the approach vehemently in the years preceeding the formulation of REBT.
