Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common type of mental health counseling that with the help of the therapist allows the client to become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking and enables the client to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. This therapeutic approach is not distinct, but is a culmination of various cognitive and behavioral therapeutic techniques. The team will examine the aspects of CBT covering the description, history and research of this technique. The team will also provide information that will explain the appropriate uses of this practice, why it is necessary, and the patients that benefit from this behavioral changing technique. There are issues and concerns involved with CBT that will also be addressed.…
Comparing Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Becoming a Helper, they both discuss the theory of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. They discuss the most important details of the theoretical approach. Rational emotive behavior therapy rests on the premise that thinking, evaluating, analyzing, questioning, doing, practicing and redefining the basics of behavior change (Corey, Corey, 2011, p. 170). This theory assumes that individuals are born with the potential for rational thinking but that they also uncritically accept irrational beliefs. A reorganization of one’s self statements will result in a corresponding reorganization of one’s behavior (Corey, Corey, 2011, p. 170). The clients are taught that the events of life themselves do not disturb…

There are many abnormal psychological disorders in the DSM-IV along with various treatment options for them. The American Psychological Association’s (APA) lists that these types of disorders are genetic and learned. The main focus is of one of the possible treatments for the Axis II disorder known as borderline personality disorder (BPD) and that is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Through a discovery of its usefulness for individuals with this disorder, the defining data will either prove or disprove DBT as a viable treatment for BPD. By focusing on BPD as a known learned disorder we find that the discovery of which patients benefit from this certain type of treatment is important. Exploring if this treatment eases the existing symptoms of BPD is necessary and so is finding if there are some, who do not benefit from this treatment or find ease from it. We will discuss borderline personality disorder, the symptoms, and typical treatments.…

The women were measured after six months of treatment (Carter, et al., 2010).…
Prior to the development of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy there was no effective treatment for individuals with borderline personality disorder. According to Piotrowski (2010) “ people, with borderline personality disorder are emotionally flammable and fragile, unable to reliably regulate their inner states, have conflict-ridden relationships, frequently consider suicide, and often engage in self-harming behaviors such as cutting” (p.602). Andrews (2010) mentions “studies have shown that dialectical behavioral therapy can reduce depressive symptoms, suicide attempts self-injury, and hospitalizations”…
DBT helps patients to be aware of these emotions, yet control the actions that they do to express the emotions. With this therapy clients work to stay in the moment and focus on the present time rather than worrying and being anxious about what will happen next. Some of the activities presented in DBT are counting to ten, breathing exercises, and sensational exercises. Some patients find Dialectal Behavioral Therapy to be more beneficial than Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because they found it beneficial to focus on where they were right now instead of putting more emphasis on changed thoughts and…
Since its inception, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been at the forefront of addressing clinical problems within student populations (Allen, 2011). Created by psychiatrist Aaron Beck, in 1960's, cognitive-behavioral therapy is an empirically researched therapy method that specializes in finding solutions to current problems and teaching clients skills to alter dysfunctional thinking and behavior ("What is Cognitive Behavior Therapy | Beck Institute," n.d.). While CBT was initially developed for adults suffering from specific disorders such as depression, anxiety, and phobias, CBT has found success in addressing cognitive, behavioral, emotional, social, interpersonal development of children and adolescents (Joyce-Beaulieu & Sulkowski,…
