NCMHCE CBT Exam with accurate detailed || || || || || ||
solutions
Bibliotherapy - ✔✔This involves using reading material in assisting clients with personal growth || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
as a supplement to the sessions. The goal is for the client to build upon his/or her own expertise
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
and to diffuse the power difference between client and therapist. Ex. reading poems about death to
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
deal with grief can lead members to realize that they are not alone in their feelings.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
CBT - ✔✔The basis of this therapy is that thoughts drive one's feelings and behaviors, not
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
external events, people, or circumstances. As one changes his/or her thoughts, one can feel better
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
despite what the situation is or what one does or does not control.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Cognitive Reframing - ✔✔This consists of changing the irrational/maladaptive way people see
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
things and trying to find alternative positive ways of viewing ideas, events, situations, or a variety
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
of concepts. Ex. You can reframe a problem so that it becomes an opportunity. You can reframe
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
what you perceive as an unkind act as a lack of understanding.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Cognitive Restructuring - ✔✔This involves identifying, challenging, and changing faulty beliefs
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
and distortions in thinking through examining logic, testing the truth of the thought or belief, and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
finding alternative explanations. This commonly involves "looking for the evidence" of whether
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
the thought or belief is true or false, with a logical analysis of "evidence for" and "evidence
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
against."
Covert Extinction - ✔✔This involves linking an anxiety-producing stimulus with an imagined
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
punishment.
Decatastrophizing (sometimes called "what if") - ✔✔When using this technique, the therapist || || || || || || || || || || || ||
would have the client state his/or her feared consequence of a situation and then identify strategies
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
for coping.
|| ||
Decentering - ✔✔This is helpful with anxious clients who believe they are the focus of others.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
The technique is to set up experiments to challenge the client's belief and assist them to see that
