patient/family support, education, and advocacy
Cancer support groups for families and patients coping with

support groups
_____________ theorists have no concern with inner
conflicts but argue that personality simply consists of
learned behaviors.
Behavioral
who theorized classical conditioning?
Pavlvov
, Page | 2
Classical Conditioning:
It is important to recognize that classical conditioned responses
are involuntary, not under conscious personal control, and are not
spontaneous choices.
_______________ developed the school of thought referred
to as behaviorism, which he believed was more objective or
measurable. Watson contended that personality traits and
responses, adaptive and maladaptive, were socially learned
through classical conditioning
John B. Watson
Behaviorism theory
Experiment that was the basis of this theory:
when a neutral stimulus (a bell) was repeatedly paired with
another stimulus (food that triggered salivation), eventually
the sound of the bell alone could elicit salivation in the dogs.
Classical conditioning by Pavlov
(Pavlovs dog)
Experiment that was the basis of this theory?:
Little Albert, a 9-month-old who like animals, and made a
loud noise with a hammer every time the infant reached for a
white rat. After this experiment, Little Albert became terrified
at the sight of white fur or hair, even in the absence of a loud
noise.

Behaviorism theory by john b watson
Watson concluded that behavior could be molded by controlling
the environment and that anyone could be trained.
True or false
Aaron Beck believed in the concept that cognitive
processing distortions underlie psychological disorders.
True
Who assumed this?:
Assumption: children construct their own knowledge in
response to their experiences. Learn many things on own
without intervention, children are intrinsically motivated to
learn
Piaget
cognitive development theory (4 stages)
True or false:
Therapists can share personal information with patients by
using self-disclosure: demonstrate how you had changed
similar automatic thoughts.
True
an exaggerated or irrational thought pattern involved in the
onset or perpetuation of psychopathological states, such as
depression and anxiety.
cognitive distortions
true or false:
, Page | 4
negative schemas can stay dormant until a life situation
arises and can trigger the schema to activate
true
Example:
I must be loved to be worthwhile" may be triggered through their
processing of an external, stressful life event such as the ending
of an intimate relationship. The "I must be loved to be worthwhile"
schema may not generally be active, but when the person's
partner terminates their relationship (a stressful event), this belief
may then become activated and thus the person is more
susceptible to depression.
______________- include such factors as thoughts, beliefs,
attitudes, assumptions, expectations, standards, images,
goals, memories, and perceptions.`
cognitions
certain cognitions (e.g., maladaptive beliefs, irrational thoughts,
dysfunctional schemas, and problematic information processing)
likely lead to emotional distress and behavioral difficulties and
thus modification of cognitions and cognitive patterns is required
to effect change.q
assumption of what theory/therapy?:
Distorted thinking contributes to and maintains behavior
(symptoms)
cognitive therapy
goal of cognitive therapym-
To limit the severity and debilitating aspects of symptoms.
