Chapter 25 Cognitive Behaviour Modification Flashcards
behavioural activation
A treatment for depression focusing on getting the client to engage in a larger number and variety of reinforcing activities.
cognitive behaviour
Covert verbal or imaginal behaviour. Examples include thinking, talking to yourself, imagining specific behaviours or situations, and recalling events of the past. Cognitive behaviour is influenced by the same environmental variables that influence overt behaviour.
cognitive behaviour modification
Procedures used to help people change some aspect of their cognitive behaviour. Includes procedures to help people eliminate undesirable cognitive behaviours (e.g. cognitive restructuring) and procedures to teach people more desirable cognitive behaviours (ie cognitive coping skills training).
cognitive coping skills training
A cognitive behaviour modification procedure in which the person learns specific self-statements for use in a problem situation to improve his or her performance or influence his or her behaviour. An example is self-instructional training.
cognitive distortion
A type of thinking in which individuals negatively evaluate or interpret events in their life or make logical errors in their thinking that lead to negative mood or depressed behaviour.
cognitive restructuring
A cognitive behaviour modification procedure in which the client learns to identify thoughts that are distressing and then learns to eliminate those thoughts or to replace them with more desirable thoughts.
cognitive therapy
A type of cognitive restructuring, originally developed by Beck, in which the therapist teaches the client to identify and change his or her distorted thoughts or self-talk.
self-instructional training
A type of cognitive behaviour modification procedure in which the client learns to make specific self-statements that increase the likelihood that a target behaviour will occur in a specific situation.
