CB Assessment Flashcards
(9 cards)
Why use a CB assessment?
- critical for case conceptualization (formulation)
- information about aetiology and maintaining factors
- implications for treatment
- focuses on the HOW!!! (how symptoms are linked and perpetuated)
CB Assumptions
- problem behaviours are influenced by principles of learning (classical + reinforcement)
- what a person thinks influences how they feel and behave (ABC model)
- problems are related to antecedents and consquences
Steps for conducting a CB assessment
- Identify problem behaviour
- Identify antecedents of problem behaviour
- Identify consequences (what happens after)
- Identify strengths and resources
- Integrate into formulation
BASIC-P?
- Behaviour
- Affect
- Situation
- Interpersonal
- Cognitions
- Physiological
Antecedents
- What happens right before you feel x, y, z?
- In what situations do you feel your worst?
Consequences
- Once x, y, z has happened - what do you do in response?
- How have you been managing these symptoms?
What are the strengths + resources
- Self (capabilities, achievements, positive coping styles, beliefs, attributions)
- Others (relationship, support within family)
- In relation to their condition
What are some additional assessment methods
- self-monitoring (e.g, dairies)
- standardised inventories (e.g., rating scales)
- in-vivo observation (clinic, natural)
- observation in simulated contexts (role-play, imagined contexts)
- Physiological recording (in the lab or natural setting)
What do you do once you have created the CB model?
- share with the client!!
- unpack any perceptions (i.e., problems or solutions)
