Document Summary
Psyb45: chapter twenty five cognitive behaviour modification. Cognitive behaviour modification: used to help people change behaviours that are labeled as cognitive. Cognitive behaviour: verbal or imaginal responses made by the person that are covert, and thus not observable to others. A label for the cognitive behaviour is not a behavioural definition. Designed to replace specific maladaptive cognitive behaviours with more adaptive ones; used in the case of behavioural excesses, that is, when existing maladaptive cognitive behaviours contribute to a problem. Forms of cognitive restructuring: rational-emotive therapy, systematic rational restructuring, and cognitive therapy. Designed to teach new cognitive behaviours that are then used to promote other desirable behaviours; used for behavioural deficits, that is, when a person does not have the cognitive behaviours needed to cope effectively with problem situations. The therapist teaches client specific self-statements that they can make in a problem situation to improve their performance or influence their behaviour in the situation.
