THE COGNITIVE PARADIGMBY: JACOB SNOW, RAJINDER SAINI AND KYLE BOUZEK
BY THE END OF THIS POWERPOINT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO…
• Define cognitive paradigm
• Define cognitive therapy and how to use it to treat disorders
• Define related terms (e.g. illogical thinking, maladaptive assumptions)
• Define Client-centric therapy
• Identify significant figures and their contributions
SIGNIFICANT PERSONS
• Albert Ellis- developed ABCDE model because he believed that people developed irrational beliefs as a response to their preferred beliefs being blocked. Also developed cognitive-behavioral therapy and founded REBT.
• Aaron T. Beck- developed cognitive therapy in the 1960s
WHAT IS THE COGNITIVE PARADIGM?
• Belief that abnormality results from self-destructive thoughts
• Thoughts are more important than the individual behaviors
• Assumes that humans are not passively responding to external stimuli
• By creating and/or removing thought processes, abnormality can be caused or cured.
RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY(REBT)
• Practical method of assisting in coping with adversity and achieving their goals, with a focus on the present
• According to REBT, the way we think leads to our emotional and behavioral upset
• Individuals challenge their thinking that cause their unhealthy emotions (anger, depression, etc.) and maladaptive behaviors (procrastination, addictive behaviors, etc.)
• Illogical Thinking: exactly what it sounds like
• Maladaptive Assumptions: making assumptions that are not right emotionally and behaviorally
• Also similar to Cognitive Emotive Behavior Therapy (or CBT)
A.B.C.D.E MODEL OF EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE
• A is for adversity- bad stuff that happens- a trigger
• B is for belief- refers to irrational or self-destructive belief that is formed in response to the adversity
• C is for consequences- results of beliefs in person’s life
• D is for disputes- arguments against irrational beliefs that drive person away from their irrational beliefs toward rationality
• E is for effect- new emotions/behaviors that come about from the belief
FOUR D’S: DEVIANCE
• Condition or state of not conforming to societal norms
• Based on the culture that the person is presently in, not the one he/she came from
• Example: hypochondria- the belief in being sick actually causes sickness-like symptoms
• The average person does not have anything near this problem
FOUR D’S: DISTRESS
• Pain, discomfort, etc. of the person who has the disorder.
• The distress of others, while still important, does not matter in deciding whether something is abnormal or not.
• Hypochondriacs have significant problems that cause major discomfort.
FOUR D’S: DYSFUNCTION
• The inhibition of general function or activity.
• Can be physically, emotionally or otherwise limiting.
• Hypochondriacs are significantly impaired in their ability to live normal lives.
• They may stay inside more than usual, isolate themselves, take unnecessary medication, etc. that further debilitate them.
FOUR D’S: DANGER
• Major deciding factor in determining abnormality
• Question: Does this disorder cause undue harm to self or others, or at the very least, could it?
• Hypochondria can be dangerous if the person actually becomes sick as a result, but for the most part is not dangerous.
ADVANTAGES
• Helps people become aware of when they make negative interpretations of things
• Focuses in the bright side of life
• Client centric therapy: work with an individual, therapist works to find the core idea that is causing the negative thoughts
DISADVANTAGES
• Thought-process is the only thing wrong
• Introspection is subjective and hard to replicate
QUESTIONS?
• If you have any questions, speak now or forever hold your peace!!!!!!!!!!
