CBT follows several phases including assessment, re-conceptualization, skills acquisition, application, and follow up. It is effective for treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and more. Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) is a type of CBT developed by Albert Ellis that aims to change irrational beliefs.

REBT
AARON BECK
DEFINITION
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is
a psycho-social intervention that is the most
widely used evidence-based practice for
improving mental health.
• Focuses on the development of personal coping
strategies that target solving current problems
and changing unhelpful patterns in cognitions
• The therapist's role is to assist the client in
finding and practicing effective strategies to
address the identified goals and decrease
symptoms of the disorder.
• It is different from historical approaches
to psychotherapy, such as
the psychoanalytic approach where the therapist
looks for the unconscious meaning behind the
behaviors and then formulates a diagnosis.
Instead, CBT is a "problem-focused" and "action-
oriented" form of therapy
• CBT is based on the belief that thought
distortions and maladaptive behaviors play a role
in the development and maintenance
of psychological disorders

MODEL
RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY
 REBT encourages a person to identify
their general and irrational beliefs (e.g. I
must be perfect") and subsequently
persuades the person challenge these false
beliefs through reality testing.
 Albert Ellis (1957, 1962) proposes that
each of us hold a unique set of
assumptions about ourselves and our
world that serve to guide us through life
and determine our reactions to the
various situations we encounter.
 is a type cognitive therapy first
used by Albert Ellis which
focuses on resolving emotional
and behavioral problems.
The goal of the therapy is to
change irrational beliefs to more
rational ones.
COMMON IRRATIONAL ASSUMPTIONS

 Unfortunately, some people’s


assumptions are largely
irrational, guiding them to act
and react in ways that are
inappropriate and that prejudice
their chances of happiness and
success. Albert Ellis calls these
basic irrational assumptions.
 According to Ellis, these are other common
irrational assumptions:

• The idea that one should be


thoroughly competent at
everything.
 • The idea that is it catastrophic
when things are not the way you
want them to be.
• The idea that people have no
control over their happiness.
 • The idea that you need someone
stronger than yourself to be
dependent on.
 • The idea that your past history
greatly influences your present life.
 • The idea that there is a perfect
solution to human problems, and it’s
a disaster if you don’t find it.
ABC MODEL
 A - Activating Event or objective situation. The
first column records the objective situation, that
is, an event that ultimately leads to some type of
high emotional response or negative
dysfunctional thinking.
 B - Beliefs. In the second column, the client
writes down the negative thoughts that occurred
to them.
 C - Consequence. The third column is for the
negative feelings and dysfunctional behaviors
that ensued. The negative thoughts of the second
column are seen as a connecting bridge between
the situation and the distressing feelings
TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS
 The theory of transactional analysis
was founded by Eric Berne. This
therapy is very different from others
in that it focuses on decisions and
contact made by the clients.
 The basic philosophy is that the
client has the potential for choice.
A contact made by the client clearly
states the direction and goals of the
therapeutic process.
 Transactional Analysis therapy
teaches that the personality is made
up of Parent, Adult and child.
TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS INCLUDES

 Game
 decision
 life script
 re-decision
 stroke and discounting
