CBT Flashcards
What is behaviour therapy?
Focuses on directly observable behaviour and applies classical/operant conditioning as treatment. Field of BT is vast and complex.
What’s classical conditioning
Occurs prior to learning and creates a response to a stimulus through pairing. Like giving dogs a treat paired with bell then they salivate (response).
What is operant conditioning?
Leanrning that involves behaviours that are influenced by consequences. What occurs following a behaviour that reinforced positive, negative, or punishment.
What is social cognitive theory?
Reciprocal interaction between environment, personal factors, and individual behaviour. Assumes individuals are capable of self directed behaviour. Self efficacy (individuals ability to master a situation and bring about change).
Goals of BT?
Aims to increase persons skills/give them options in choosing a response. Goals are client led/specific/measurable. Goals are clear/concrete and can be altered throughout treatment. Ultimate goal is to increase personal choice/create new conditions for learning.
Characteristics of BT?
It’s rooted in scientific principles, behaviours can be operationally defines, deals with current problems, clients must assume active/engaged role, change can occur without examining underlying issues, assessment is ongoing, and interventions tailored to each person.
Therapists role in BT?
Conduct assessment (behavioural analysis) based on ABC model. Identify specific antecedent and consequent events that influence behaviours.
WHat is ABC model in BT?
A- antecedents: particular situation or event that elicits…
B- behaviour- problematic reaction that results in…
C- consequences- events that maintain behavior
Client therapist relationship in BT?
Collaborative working relationship that has warmth/empathy/authenticity but those aren’t enough to create change.
Positive reinforcement?
Adding something valued by person to increase targeted behaviour like getting good grades.
Negative reinforcement?
When something unpleasant is removed to increase desired behaviour like practicing new coping skills in order to get ride of negative outcomes
What is extinction?
Withholding reinforcements and can occur through repeated exposure
What is positive punishment?
Unpleasant condition added to help behavior decrease (add scolding to decrease texting in class).
Negative punishment?
Reinforcing stimulus is removed in attempt to decrease specific behaviour. Like wanting to decrease picking on sister by taking away video games
What’s progressive muscle relaxation?
Helps clients cope with stress/achieve mental and muscle relaxation. Can be easily learned and should be exercised daily. Involves instructions on tensing/relaxing muscle groups
What’s systematic desensitization?
Clients imagine anxiety provoking events while engaging in behaviour that competes with anxiety. Clients will become less sensitive to anxiety provoking event. Time consuming
What is in vivo exposure and flooding?
Both involve introducing client to situations that contribute to problems. Flood- like in vivo but involves intense/prolonged exposure. In vivo exposure (live exposure) is when clients engage in brief series of exposures to feared events. Therapist will be trained and monitor clients anxiety states.
What is eye movement desensitization and processing? EMDR
Exposure therapy that involves assess, prep, flooding, and cognitive restructuring. Developed to treat PTSD. Helps client with traumatic memories and involves use of rapid/rhythmic eye movements. Less triggering than other therapies and done by trained professional.
Social skills training?
