QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◉ Who started Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)?
Answer: Albert Ellis
-"we disturb ourselves with our disturbances"
•Was the first to use "homework" assignments, both written and
behaviorally-oriented to bring to the session to help the patient
identify irrational thoughts and turn them into functional ones
•Methods:
•Problem solving
•Cognitive restructuring of irrational thoughts
•Coping skills development (hypnosis, relaxation exercises,
meditation)
◉ What do all cognitive behavior therapies stem from? Answer:
REBT
,◉ What is REBT? Answer: •Identifies negative self-thoughts and
irrational thoughts which lead to emotional or behavioral issues
•Believes in the fundamental idea that people want to do well in life
-•Places more emphasis on acceptance of self (both positive and
negative aspects) than CBT
◉ What are the ABC's of REBT? Answer: •The "A-B-C" of REBT are
the following:
•Activating Event
•Beliefs & thoughts
•Consequences of those beliefs/thoughts/actions
◉ What are the phases of treatment for CBT? Answer: •Phases of
treatment:
•Assessment of the patient
•Reconceptualization of the patient's issues & thoughts/behaviors
•Skills Acquisition (cognitive restructuring)
•Maintenance (patient uses the cognitive restructuring routinely and
more independently now)
•Post-treatment follow-up: perhaps 6 month later or when
necessary
, ◉ What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR)? Answer: •According to the World Health Organization:
EMDR is a therapy where "negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors
are the result of unprocessed memories. The treatment involves
standardized procedures that include focusing simultaneously on (a)
spontaneous associations of traumatic images, thoughts, emotions
and bodily sensations and (b) something called "bilateral
stimulation" that is most commonly in the form of repeated eye
movements."
•Developed by Francine Shapiro who observed that certain eye
movements reduced the intensity of disturbing thoughts
•Used for the treatment of traumatic disorders
◉ •Adaptive Information Processing: Answer: The hypothesis is that
treatment with EMDR allows the client to access and reprocess
negative memories, which leads to decreased psychological arousal
associated with the memory
◉ Those for whom cognitive therapies are probably not useful:
Answer: •Those too depressed to participate in homework
assignments
•Those who have limited cognitive capacities
