This document provides an overview of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and its underlying principles:
1. CBT was developed in the 1960s by Aaron Beck to treat depression through identifying and modifying dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs.
2. CBT is based on the cognitive model which posits that distorted thinking influences mood and behavior. Treatment involves formulating a patient's problems cognitively and applying techniques to change their thinking.
3. Core beliefs are the deepest and most fundamental level of cognition, while automatic thoughts are situation-specific thoughts and intermediate beliefs organize experience in a coherent way. CBT aims to identify and change dysfunctional beliefs at all levels.

PSYC 651 Lecture 2 Chapter 1 I. Introduction A. Cognitive therapy was developed by Aaron Beck at the University of Pennsylvania in the early 1960s as a structured, short-term present-oriented psychotherapy for depression. B. The Cognitive Model proposed that distorted or dysfunctional thinking ) which influences the patient’s mood and behavior) is common to all psychological disturbances. C. Treatment is based on both a cognitive formulation of a specific disorder and its application to the conceptualization or understanding of the individual patient. D. A problem important to the patient is specified, and associated dysfunctional idea is identified and evaluated, a reasonable plan is devised and the effectiveness of the intervention is assessed. E. 10 Principles of Cognitive Therapy i. Cognitive therapy is based on an ever-evolving formulation of the patient and her problems in cognitive terms. 1. Current thinking 2. Problematic behaviors 3. Precipitating factors 4. Developmental events 5. Enduring patters of interpreting these events ii. Cognitive therapy requires a sound therapeutic alliance (basic ingredients of warmth, empathy, caring, genuine regard and competence) iii. Cognitive therapy emphasizes collaborative and active participation (shift through the course of therapy from therapist to the patient over time) iv. Cognitive therapy is goal oriented and problem focused. v. Cognitive therapy initially emphasizes the present. Attention shifts to the past in three circumstances 1. Patient expresses a strong predilection to do so 2. Current problem produces little or no cognitive, behavioral, and emotional change 3. Therapist judges that it is important to understand how and when important dysfunctional ideas Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Lecture 2 Page: 2
originated and how these ideas affect the patient
today. vi. Cognitive therapy is educative, aims to teach the patient to be her own therapist, and emphasizes relapse prevention. vii. Cognitive therapy aims to be time limited. viii. Cognitive therapy sessions are structured 1. Check mood 2. Brief review of the week 3. Collaboratively set an agenda 4. Elicit feedback about previous session 5. Review homework 6. Discusses the agenda items 7. Sets new homework 8. Summarizes and seeks feedback of current session ix. Cognitive therapy teaches patients to identify, evaluate, and respond to their dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. 1. Socratic questioning 2. Collaborative empiricism 3. Guided discovery x. Cognitive therapy uses a variety of techniques to change thinking, mood, and behavior II. Developing as a Cognitive Therapist • Three Stages i. Therapist learns to structure the session and to use basic techniques, as well as the basic skills of conceptualizing a case in cognitive terms ii. Therapist begin to integrate their conceptualization with the knowledge of techniques iii. More automatic integrating new data into conceptualization
Chapter 2 Cognitive Conceptualization
I. Basic Conceptualization A. Questions i. What is the patient’s diagnosis? ii. What are her current problems; how did these problems develop and how are they maintained? iii. What dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs are associated with the problems; what reactions (emotional, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Lecture 2 Page: 3
physiological, and behavioral) are associated with her
thinking? B. Hypothesizes development of psychological disorder: i. What early learning and experiences (and perhaps genetic predispositions) contributed to her problems today? ii. What are the underlying beliefs (including attitudes, expectations, and rules) and thoughts? iii. How has she coped with her dysfunctional beliefs? What cognitive, affective, and behavioral mechanisms, both positive and negative, has she developed to cope with her dysfunctional beliefs? How did (and does) she view herself, others, her personal world, and her future? iv. What stressors contributed to her psychological problems or interfere with her ability to solve these problems? C. The Cognitive Model i. Hypothesizes that people’s emotions and behaviors are influenced by their perception of events. It is not the situation in and of itself that determines what people feel but rather the way in which they construe a situation. (note: hermeneutics) ii. The way people feel is associated with the way in which they interpret and think about a situation. The situation itself does not directly determine how they feel. iii. Automatic Thoughts: quick evaluative thoughts that are not the result of deliberation or reasoning. iv. In general people are not aware of automatic thoughts but are far more likely to be aware of the emotion that follows. “What was going through your mind just then?” 1. Focusing Techniques 2. Zig-Zag Ahhh 3. Notion connecting experience of emotion with a physiological sensation. D. Beliefs i. Core beliefs are understandings that are so fundamental and deep that they often are not articulated, even to themselves ii. They are experienced as absolute truths iii. Core beliefs are the most fundamental level of belief: they are global, rigid, and over generalized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Lecture 2 Page: 4
iv. Automatic thoughts the actual words or images that go
through a person’s mind are situation specific and may be considered the most superficial level of cognition v. Between automatic thoughts and core beliefs are intermediate thoughts (which are based on rules, attitudes and assumptions) II. Attitudes, Rules and Assumptions A. Core beliefs influence the development or an intermediate class of beliefs which consist of (often unarticulated) attitudes, rules and assumptions B. Intermediate thoughts organize experience in a coherent way in order for the person to function adaptively (note: here the basis premise of Constructivism that people’s cognitive experience is driven by self-organizing processes) C. What is of particular significance to the Cognitive Therapist is that dysfunctional beliefs can be unlearned and new beliefs that are more reality based and functional can be developed and learned through therapy. D. Relationship of Automatic Thoughts, Intermediate Thoughts and Core Beliefs i. Automatic thoughts are connected to moment to moment distress ii. Intermediate thoughts go across situations and significantly influence the options perceived as available in problems solving, as well as act as a screen in the patients perception of situations iii. Core beliefs are the deepest level are most resilient, and change of these core beliefs makes the patient less likely to relapse in the future (hmm possible quasi-medical model with AT as symptoms and CB as disease?) III. Relationship between behavior to Automatic Thoughts A. Situation Automatic Thoughts Emotion Behavior Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Lecture 2 Page: 5
