Document Summary
Second last class before the final exam (cognitive behavioural therapies) Cognitive behavioural therapies (cbts) combine cognitive and behavioural techniques to help clients to understand problems, see patterns of irrational thought, evaluate behaviours based on more rational thinking, and teach new skills to promote self- regulation. They include thoughts, perceptions, beliefs, attributions, and self-statements. Clinical depression involves cognition related to hopelessness, pessimism, and low self-esteem. People become fearful of highly publicized but unlikely events. People worried about paid tend to rate their pain as higher. Explicit memory systems allow us to be aware of those situations and have anxiety and fear about them. B. f skinner gave behavioural interpretations of psychoanalytic terms, like repression. He wrote about clinical behaviour analysis which was about applying radical behaviourism to put patient adult behaviour therapy. By the 1950s, dissatisfaction with the vagueness of psychotherapy and the paucity of evidence of its effectiveness was growing.
