CBT focuses on the
content of cognitive processes and the way in which they are reinforced by behaviours
filtering (cog distortion) is when
we take negative details and magnify them while filtering out all positive aspects
polarized thinking or black and white thinking (cog distortion) is when things
are either black or white…no middle ground. ie if your performance falls short of perfect you see yourself as a total failure
overgeneralisation (cog distortion) refers to
reaching a general conclusion based on a single incident or single piece of evidence. ie if something bad happens only once we expect it to happen over and over again
an example of jumping to conclusions (cog distortion)
a person may conclude that someone is reacting negatively toward them but doesn’t actually bother to find out if they are correct
what is catastrophizing (cog distortion)?
expecting disaster to strike no matter what
what is emotional reasoning (cog distortion)?
believe that what we feel must be true automatically. “I feel therefore it must be true”
what is the heavens reward fallacy (cog distortion)
we expect our sacrifice and self -denial to pay off as if someone is keeling score. feel bitter when the reward doesn’t come
what is global labeling (cog distortion)
generalise one or two qualities into a neg global judgement. ie. when someone else’s beh rubs a person the wrong way, they may attach an unhealthy label to him “he’s a real jerk”
cog distortions are inaccurate thoughts usually used to reinforce
negative thinking or emotions to serve to keep us feeling bad about ourselves
“I always fail when I try to do something new; i therefore fail at everything I try” is an example of what cog distortion?
black and white or polarised thinking
“I must be a complete loser and failure” would be what cog distortion ?
overgeneralisation
the cog attentional syndrome (CAS) is set of 3 psychological processes. what are they?
worry/rumination; threat monitoring; coping behaviours that backfire
in the cog attentional syndrome (CAS) the three processes are controlled by a persons
metacognitive beliefs
metacognitive beliefs are:
concern uncontrollability. when one has positive beliefs about worry
cognitive attentional syndrome (CAS) is described as comprising of these 4 things
repetitive & brooding quality of thoughts, consists of worry & rumination, comprised of an attentional bias for threat-related stimuli, poor strategies for managing threat
metacognitive therapy is based on the principle that
worry and rumination are universal processes leading to emotional disorder. with these processes linked to unhelpful self-regulation strategies
in CBT the therapist is concerned with the content of
automatic thoughts and invites the client to reality test this content
in MCT (meta cog therapy) disorder is views as a function not of cog content but of
processes such as perseverative thinking, attentional focus and internal control strategies that are counterproductive
what is interpersonal therapy (IPT)?
a brief attachment-focused psychotherapy
