Document Summary
Module 21: other third-wave cbt: act, mbct, motivational interviewing (+2 papers) Third-wave cbt - all are well empirically supported. Dialectical behavior therapy (dbt) - one of dr. b"s favorites (empirically supported) Overall goal: to help increase someone"s motivation for a particular change or work towards a particular goal. Useful for diffusing and/or using resistance and ambivalence, anger, aggression, problematic emotions. Best option when client is being adversarial. Important intervention at the early stages of the transtheoretical model of change. Often used in conjunction with the stages of change model and goal setting. One of the most effective techniques indirect/subtle direction to help something that is already in the person (the fact that they don"t support the behavior) to find motivation. Help people develop insight over time (realize about their own behaviors) Identifying a weakness makes them more interested and able to work on changing (paradoxical intervention) Like judo - never push or pull or put your energy into the conflict.
