# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** describe Ellis' A-B-C-D-E model of REBT

1) **A**ctivating event 2) irrational **B**elief about that event 3) emotional or behavioral **C**onsequence of that belief 4) the therapist's use of techniques that **D**ispute the client's irrational belief 5) the **E**ffect of these techniques, which is the replacement of the irrational belief with a more rational one

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** list 4 techniques used by practitioners of REBT

* **active disputation** of irrational beliefs * rational-emotive **imagery** * systematic **desensitization** * **skills** training

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** research suggests that REBT is an effective treatment for what disorders

* depression * anxiety * conduct problems * anger

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** this cognitive-behavioral approach, initially developed to teach problem-solving skills to children with high levels of impulsivity, consists of 5 stages: cognitive modeling stage, overt external guidance stage, over self-guidance stage, faded overt guidance stage, and covert self-instruction stage

self-instructional training

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** during this stage of self-instructional training, **children observe a model perform a task** while the model verbalizes instructions aloud

cognitive modeling stage

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** during this stage of self-instructional training, children perform the same task while the model verbalizes the instructions

overt external guidance stage

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** during this stage of self-instructional training, children perform the task while verbalizing the instructions aloud themselves

overt self-guidance stage

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** during this stage of self-instructional training, children perform the task while whispering the instructions

faded overt guidance stage

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** during this stage of self-instructional training, children perform the task while **repeating the instructions subvocally**

covert self-instruction stage

# **Cognitive-Behavior Therapies** according to self-instructional training, the instructions used throughout the 5 stages address these 4 skills

1) **idenfiying** the nature of the task 2) **focusing attention** on the task & behaviors needed to complete it 3) providing **self-reinforcement** that sustains appropriate behavior 4) **evaluating** performance & **correcting** errors
