  1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for one hell of a mind blowing experience.

  2. What is CBT… • It is psychotherapeutic approach to dealing with abnormality • It’s aim is to challenge irrational and dysfunctional thought processes

  3. Becks cognitive therapy • Becks (1976) believed that a negative schemata lead to pessimistic thoughts about the self. • The aim of Becks approach was to challenge these irrational cognitions and replace them with more realistic appraisals. • Thetherapist will help the client to identify negative thoughts by making hem keep a record of all negative thoughts. • The therapist will then challenge these pessimistic thoughts by drawing attention to positive incidents which contradict the clients negative assumptions. • Beckalso used behavioural techniques to encourage more positive behaviour such as training clients in problem skills, or just to encourage people suffering from severe depression to do little things. • However the focus of the therapy is very much on cognitive restructuring.

  4. Ellis and rational-emotive behavioural therapy (REBT) • REBT approach is very similar to Beck’s. • Specific events activate irrationals thoughts and need to be challenged. • Ellis believes that people maintain a negative view about themselves be cause they are constantly looking for evidence to prove the fact that they are inadequate. • The therapists works together with the client to help identify situations and the negative reactions they produce. • The therapist helps the client get a more realistic perspective.

  5. Evaluation of CBT • It is effective as a treatment for depression and social anxiety. • The cognitive approach ignores genetic and biological factors in states such as depression. • The idea of schemata lacks detail and in particular there is no clearly described mechanism for how negative schemata develop in the first place.
