Document Summary
Mt example: client who hits his head on the ground, guiding him to redirect and hit a drum with his hands instead - more cathartic and safe for him. Reinforcing positive behaviour by offering the reward of drumming/cathartic experience. Replacing undesirable, irrational thinking with healthier cognitive. Client must be capable of insight and verbal communication and is this not suitable for patients with psychosis or those who have serious intellectual deficits. Mta can help people with emotional/social problems including anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, mood disorders, chronic pain and sleeping disorders. Encouraging and supporting client in taking responsibility for his/her. Wants client to be able to learn and adjust cognitive processes. Example: reframing irrational thoughts "someone looked at me this way it must mean:____" "someone looked at me this way, i can"t tell what they mean" actions. Based on the belief that human behaviour is influenced by unconscious psychological processes (internal conflicts, impulses, desires, motives) which are largely unaware consciously.
