Freud conceptualizes depression as a reaction to loss, with anger toward the lost
object/person/feeling turned inward on the self; self-punishment
● Therapy involves looking beyond the loss, uncovering its deeper meaning, and mastering
unconscious issues
conceptualization of depression from a behavioral perspective
Low levels of reward, high levels of punishment

Five steps are involved in Meichenbaum’s self-instructional training. List all five of them, then explain what happens during the cognitive modeling phase.
Cognitive modeling- therapist says outloud
Cognitive participant modeling- client does the same thing and while therapist instructs client
Overt self-instruction- client repeats instructions and does task
Fading overt self-instruction- whisper instructions
Covert self-instruction- client does without speaking
psychoanalytic perspective
Using some of the oldest forms of converting people to a new faith, cognitive therapists systematically tear apart the patient’s worldview
Patients are invalidated and confused as their own explanations for their problems are characterized as dysfunctional or irrational
Cognitive therapists ram away at the clients’ ego processes and they thus become vulnerable to whatever the therapist is selling
Cognitive therapist offers intellectualization and rationalization
Humanistic perspective
Alienation not negative schema, is the syndrome of our age
Too many people have list the ability to be outraged over the injustices of society
Cognitive therapists recognize the power of collaboration, but your own research evidence shows that empathy, support, warmth, and all those quintessential feel-touchy parts of the relationship prove just as efficacious in cognitive therapy
Cultural perspective
Rational thinking and the scientific orientation may fit well with the preferred processes of stoic white, male euro-americans
May neither fit nor respond to the diverse ways of knowing non-whites, nonmales, and non-europeans
Challenging beliefs does not fit well with some cultures and genders
may reinforce a woman’s sense of inadequacy
Problems with people and the way to fix them are located inside the individual’s head, rather than out in the culture and in the world
Integrative perspective
Some patients distress themselves by thinking in demanding or absolute terms
Cognitive therapies jump to generalization that virtually all patients do so
Cognitive therapists behave as though cognitive therapy is the treatment choice for everyone
Overgeneralizations negate the tragic side of life, and devalue the emotional side of humans
Cognitive therapy overgeneralizes about the status of certain emotions
behavioral perpective on criticisms
Vast majority of studies no formal assessment was performed on the extent to which REBT could be distinguished from comparison treatments
