Cogniive restructuring: cogniive distorions, thought records, change the thought. Limitation: miss what"s going on beneath surface; looking only at symptoms. Walking the middle path other elements: there a things about yourself that you can"t change so you must accept them you can change other things. Atachments & relaionships are important: disrupion = distress. Emphasis placed on interpersonal problems depression: role dispute, role transiion, skills deicits, grief.
