CBFT
acceptance
Neil Jacobson’s term for loving your partner as a complete person and not focusing on differences.
Anatomy of Intervention Model (AIM)
a cognitive–behavioral strategy by which the therapist learns to play many roles and be flexible. It involves five phases: (1) introduction, (2) assessment, (3) motivation, (4) behavior change, and (5) termination.
assertiveness
(1) asking for what one wants in a timely and appropriate manner; (2) the act of asking for what one wants without being overly aggressive or passive.
authoritarian
style of parenting used by parents who have high expectations for their children and very strict rules that they expect to be followed unconditionally; they expect their orders to be obeyed without explanation and use punishment when their orders are not obeyed.
authoritative
style of parenting used by parents who use developmentally appropriate demands and maintain control of children when needed and yet are responsive and affectionate and communicate effectively with their children.
behavioral family therapy
an approach to treating families that focuses on dealing with behaviors directly in order to produce change.
behavioral therapy
a therapeutic approach that proposes that all behavior is learned and that people act according to how they were previously reinforced. Behavior is maintained by its consequences and will continue unless more rewarding consequences result from new behaviors.
coaching
a technique by which a therapist helps individuals, couples, or families make appropriate responses by giving them verbal instructions.
cognitive–behavioral family therapy
an approach to working with families that takes into account the effect of cognitions (i.e., thoughts) and behaviors on modifying family interactions.
mutual reciprocity
a major focus behind the idea of social exchange—for example, pleasantness begets pleasantness.
neglectful
a style of parenting characterized by a lack of responsiveness or emotional involvement to a child’s needs. These parents are sometimes known as uninvolved. Neglectful parents make few to no demands of their children and are often indifferent, dismissive, or even completely neglectfu
nonviolent resistance
a sociopolitical model of working with parents that helps them deal effectively with their helplessness, isolation, and escalatory interactions with their children. In this approach parents are redirected away from a child’s reactions and toward their own performance. The emphasis is on commitment and acceptance rather than control.
parent–child interaction therapy (PCIT)
a parent-skills training in which children’s behavioral problems are addressed in a two-stage intervention model: a relationship enhancement phase and a discipline phase.
parent therapies
approaches in which parents are viewed as clients in their own right and attempt to improve their reactions, self-esteem, perceived support, and well-being.
parent-skills training
a behavioral model in which the therapist serves as a social learning educator whose prime responsibility is to change parents’ responses to a child or children.
permissive
A style of parenting sometimes known as indulgent parenting. Parents who exhibit this style make relatively few demands on their children. They have low expectations for self-control and maturity and rarely discipline their children.
positive behavior support (PBS)
the application of behavior therapy and behavior analytic principles to effect socially relevant change.
Premack principle
a behavioral intervention in which family members must first do less pleasant tasks before they are allowed to engage in pleasurable activities.
reciprocity
the likelihood that two people will reinforce each other at approximately equitable rates over time. Many marital behavior therapists view marriage as based on this principle.
squeeze technique
an approach used in sexual therapy in which a woman learns to stimulate and stop the ejaculation urge in a man through physically stroking and firmly grasping his penis.
stress inoculation
a process in which family members break down potentially stressful events into manageable units that they can think about and handle through problem-solving techniques. Units are then linked so that possible events can be envisioned and handled appropriately.
