Discuss how to write up a case of CBT according to Beck Case of cognitive behavioral therapy write up begins from the moment the client walks into the clinic. Case formulation entails all the information asked by the therapist and especially responses from the client. According to Beck (2011), it is very important that the therapist take notes from the onset of meeting the client, this will make case formulation easier to write up, serve as a reference back tool and minimize redundancy in questioning. The therapist will collect detailed case history such as; identifying information, chief complaint, History of present illness, psychiatric history, personal and social history, medical history, mental status check, and DSM-IV-TR Diagnosis (Beck,…
From the work of psychiatrist Aaron Beck cognitive- behavior treatment was developed. Cognitive-behavioral theories all share the same assumption “human behavior is based on what we think and believe” (Early,2017). Cognitive-behavior therapy helps the person change negative cognitions, understand cognition, with this process it brings change to behavior (Early,2017).

This theory enables clients to separate thought from emotion; teaching clients they have choice what to feel. This helps the client understand they need not be a victim of their emotions. CBT does this by teaching the client to be aware of thoughts. In this way, the client is given the choice whether to allow their inaccurate thoughts and beliefs to impact them negatively. In helping clients develop awareness of their internal process the client is provided choice, empowering them to make…
As social work students who are interested in the social work fields of private practice, criminal justice, and education, we are likely to encounter adolescents at-risk of encountering the juvenile justice system or with a history in the system. Included in the ever-growing prison population in our country are thousands of people under the age of 18. In late 2014, there were over 50,000 adolescents under the age of 18 in juvenile detention facilities and over 4,000 adolescents under the age of 18 held in adult detention facilities. (Juveniles in Corrections: Demographics, n.d.). The population of females in juvenile institutions is growing as well, in addition to the number of males (McGlynn, Hahn, & Hagan, 2012).…
It’s common for individuals struggling with depression and substance use disorder to have destructive, harmful thinking. Not recognizing these thought patterns are harmful; they seek treatment for depression or other external forces. Since cognition alters our well-being, changing harmful thought patterns is crucial. CBT addresses harmful thought patterns, which help clients, identify their ability to practice alternative ways of thinking, and controls distressing emotions and harmful behavior (Hofmann, S.G., et al, 2005).…
We chose to focus our study using a Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as our theoretical framework. Cognitive behavioral therapy was developed in the 1960’s by Aaron Beck and combines cognitive and behavioral therapies. In CBT, an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behavior are all interrelated. CBT helps an individual build a set of skills to be aware of their thoughts and emotions. An individual will learn to how recognize a situation, thought or behavior that may be influencing their emotions as well as reduce their dysfunctional thoughts or behavior (Cully & Teten, 2008)…
Upon exploring different forms of psychotherapies, I realized that I could not see myself using only one form throughout my career. Theoretical integration is the process of combining two or more therapies to provide better outcomes than just one form of psychotherapy alone (Wedding & Corsini, 2013). This helps look out for clients’ best interests. I am really drawn to many tenants of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Positive Psychotherapy (PPT). Kuyken et al., explains that the “goal of psychotherapy is to alleviate distress and build resilience: (Kuyken et al., 2008).…
Therefore, for purposes of this study, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is being implemented. CBT makes a connection between a person’s thoughts and the way they feel or the mood they are in. It focuses on establishing a relationship between a patient’s thinking, rationalization, ideas and attitudes, with his or her behavior, as a way of changing their reaction to challenging situations, as well as the way they cope with emotional problems. Cognitive-Behavioral therapists believe patients can learn self-control techniques to develop conscious thoughts, in order to improve their behavior and increase the frequency of enjoyable activities. Techniques such as relaxation, activities that encourage self-esteem, as well as problem-solving skills, are implemented so that the patient develops control over negative thinking, and respond to stressful situations in a more effective way, rather than feeling powerless.…
It is based on the theory that if a person can change their thoughts and their feelings, then they can change their behavior regarding those thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with using client centered techniques to incorporate client cultures and values provides a unique and personalized understanding of the client and the client’s worldviews, beliefs (including spiritual), cultures and traditions which can be incorporated into the therapy session to not only build rapport, but a trust factor between worker and client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is useful in helping the client adjust to new situations, coping with stressful events (i.e.) medical diagnosis, lifestyle changes, anxiety, adaptations to new environments, etc. CBT is considered a brief therapy and is based on client thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; CBT is based on a strong therapeutic relationship between worker and client (Cully, Teten,…
Anxiety disorders are becoming increasingly common in society, and are characterized by common symptoms of fear over future events or the consequences of current ones. This fear is often debilitating in the afflicted person, and is a hindrance to normative behaviour. Certain anxiety disorders originate in childhood and adolescence, and they may persist into adulthood without treatment. One anxiety disorder with particularly negative implications is social anxiety disorder. Social anxiety disorders in children occur when a child exhibits an intense fear to situations where they may be perceived to be inadequate in the presence of others.…
