Joe Barton, MA, LPC, NCC National Certified Counselor Barton Behavioral Health Solutions, PLLC www.BartonCBT.com Two Major Cognitive Approaches: • Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Therapy • Albert Ellis’ Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) “The purpose of life is to have a f**ing good time.”—Albert Ellis “Some authors have conceptualized depression as a "depletion syndrome" because of the prominence of fatigability; they postulate that the patient exhausts his available energy during the period prior to the onset of the depression and that the depressed state represents a kind of hibernation, during which the patient gradually builds up a new store of energy.” –Aaron Beck Dysfunctional Thoughts, Beliefs, Cognitions, and Attitudes “Cognitive Errors” Over-generalizing • If it’s true in one situation, it applies to any situation that is even remotely similar. Selective Abstraction • The only events that matter are the failures, which are the sole measure of myself. Excessive Responsibility • I am responsible for all bad things, rotten events, and life failures. Self-References • I am at the center of everyone’s attention, particularly when I fail at something. Dichotomous Thinking • Everything is either one extreme or another (black or white; good or bad). Schema: “People cannot be trusted. I am the only person that can be trusted. If I get close to someone, I‟ll be hurt.” Early family stressors and divorce. Mother and father divorced at 5years-old and father struggled financially, while mother remarried a wealthy man. Auto-Thoughts “All women are „gold-diggers‟. She just looked at my watch to see if it was expensive…this always happens….she‟s just like all the others…an evil bitch!” Overgeneralizing; Selective Abstraction; Dichotomous Thinking Dysfunctional Behaviors “It is best if I don‟t go out or call her back. I should just stay at home.” Patient hoards money, interrogates potential dates, and attempts to dress “poor” on first dates. Beck’s Cognitive Triad of Depression A. • Event • Noise in middle of night. B. • Thought • “There’s an axe-murderer breaking in!” C. • Emotion/Behavior • Fear/Grab gun and hide in closet. What’s the evidence? • Survey • Didactic Interaction • Double-Standard • Defense-Attorney What’s another way of looking at it? • Defense Attorney • Benevolent Friend • Semantic Technique • Logical Analysis What if it Happens? • Vertical Descent • Pro/Con Role-Play • Future Predictions Distancing Disattribution • View thoughts objectively • Empty Chair and Personification • Consider that they are not solely responsible. • Examine empirical evidence • “Defense Attorney” • Benevolent Friend Socratic Dialogue • Progressive questions …….A client once told me, “You know you have a good therapist if they primarily ask questions; rather than telling you stuff.” Collaborative Empiricism • Therapist must not be a “Know-It-All” • Cognitive therapists prize empathy, genuineness, and warmth. But, Cognitive therapists realize that these are the “Eggs” in the recipe—they are not the “cake”. They are necessary, because they hold the active ingredients together. Yet, alone, they do not constitute therapy. By themselves they are just keys to relating well. Direct Cut-to-the-chase The “A-B-C’s” of A. Activating Events REBT: B. Beliefs •rB; iB C. Consequences •Emotional •Behavioral Equating Needs with Preferences Believing we can’t tolerate Discomfort or Unpleasantness Our self-worth is based on successes and failures Our existence is dependent upon approval The world should treat us fairly Certain people are wicked or evil It is awful when things don’t turn out how we’d like We would fail to act if things weren’t awful Harmful substances can bring happiness Happiness is external and we have little control Past history is the determinant of our present Beliefs learned in childhood are pertinent in adulthood Musterbation • Shoulds • Ought-to’s Catastrophizing • Awful • Can’t stand it! According to Ellis…. • Within, of course! Our thoughts, perceptions, and choices determine our health—Not our environment, nor what happens to us. • Logic and Rational Thinking are the best resources we have for minimizing the unavoidable pain and discomfort of living. Long-term short-term hedonism is prized over (D) Disputing the irrational beliefs (E) Effective new philosophy • Rational, logical, empirical, and probabilistic Techniques • “What empirical evidence do you have?” • “Where is it written?” • Behavioral In vivo experiments • Psycho-education • Bibliotherapy Awful Perfect Behavioral Walk 2 inches Practice “Failing” Cognitive Objectively Evaluate Imagery Therapist Reframing Empathically Agree Challenge “Shoulds” “PYA” Push Your Ass! Unconditional Acceptance of Clients as People • This is not warm and fuzzy • Therapists don’t judge or evaluate the clients’ value as a person, but do evaluate the clients’ beliefs and behaviors • Therapists listen and understand, but don’t emote with clients • This is a fine-line, the therapist must not come across as a jerk! A “Treatment-of-Choice” for and Anxiety Disorders Depression • At least as effective as medications and some studies show it is superior • Less relapse than medication cessation • There are more than 400 controlled studies Once investigator allegiance is controlled for, Cognitive therapy is shown to be as effective as other valid therapies Studies demonstrate CBT is better than placebo or no treatment For children, adolescents, and adults Especially for externalizing, low-resistance patients ¹(See Prochaska & Norcross, 2010; and Burns, 1999) Barlow, D.
