Document Summary

Cognitive structuring, (cognitive distortions, thought records, change the thought) Concrete ways of how you think about your life. Incorporate things about yourself that you must accept. Dialectical behaviour therapy and acceptance commitment therapy. (utilize elements of cbt (cognitive restricting, problem solving, coping strategies)). Determining what you need to accept (disportional traits) and determining what you can change. Depression in adolescents; important problems. (role dispute, role transition, skill deficits, grief) Different kind of approach, not a specific type of technic, more conceptualizing a person"s way of life instead. Discussing the past (with a focus on how it"s affecting the present) Trying to make people aware of their blind spots. Down side- get carried with own interpretation and get it wrong because there is no specific procedure. If we all have right conditions surrounding us, we will grow into the right people. Provide conditions for growth" let the self-actualizing tendency do the rest.
