Cognitive Behavioral Consultation: Overview Cognitive behavioral consultations are common place in counseling settings (Brown, Pryzwansky, & Schulte, 2011). In this essay, I will outline the steps necessary to perform a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) and explain the importance of an equal power-equal value relationship between the consultant and consultee. Additionally, I will cover three ways to decrease an undesired behavior, as well as three ways to increase a desired behavior from a consultee/client. Finally, I will discuss some of the foundations of the Eclectic-behavioral model. Functional Assessment Process When a student or client shows no improvement to interventions, repeats the unwanted behavior despite the consequences, …show more content…

Analyzing the data should show the consultant the environment in which the unwanted behavior occurs, and stressors or triggers, and help determine the relationships with behavior and other factors (Korinek, 2015). Per PBS World (2017) from the information obtained, a consultant must form some hypothesis to explain why the behavior is happening. Next, a consultant will need to develop an intervention or plan to address the unwanted behavior (Brown, Pryzwansky, & Schulte, 2011). Moreover, the choice of the intervention is important, the CBT intervention must allow the client to have freedom, unrestricted, and be effective (Brown, Pryzwansky, & Schulte, 2011). Finally, the consultant will need to check in and evaluate the intervention and adjust if …show more content…

Three strategies to increase a desired behavior are modeling, self-talk, and positive reinforcement, (Brown, Pryzwansky, & Schulte, 2011). Modeling can be used with a consultee by using media, literature, or others to show what behavior is appropriate (Brown, Pryzwansky, & Schulte, 2011). Furthermore, modeling a behavior gives the consultee an example of how to conform. Additionally, self-talk or what we say to ourselves daily can be used to increase a desired behavior (Morris, 2016). To elaborate, a consultee’s inner thoughts could be detrimental to a change in behavior, but positive self-talk can reinforce the desired behavior and increase self-esteem (Morris, 2016). Finally, positive reinforcement is rewarding the desired behavior, thus encouraging the behavior to be repeated (Brown, Pryzwansky, & Schulte, 2011). These three strategies are aimed at successfully increasing positive

Chapter 7 provides information on behavioral assessments, observational recording systems, good measurement systems, and recording and reporting transitory behavior. Behavioral assessments offer a thorough understanding of behavior which includes examining the relationship of antecedents, parts of the behavior itself, and the outcome (consequence) of the behavior. These assessments include measuring the subjects actual behavior (what they do) in different settings when experiencing a behavioral difficulty. When analysts define and measure a subjects behavior, they will consider all factors, which reinforce and continue the behavior. The last step in the assessment involves a detailed plan that will change or replace the behavior (Mayer, Sulzer-Azaroff

“Intake interviews, as part of the assessment phase of counseling, gather information about the client's reasons for seeking counseling, current and past functioning, social history and interpersonal style, and goals for counseling” (Mears, 2009). First impressions are vital while trying to establish a relationship with the client. If the client feels too uncomfortable with the therapist for any reason proper treatment may not be available or the client could even choose not to continue the counseling process. In this primary interview conducting a good starting rapport with the client will be the main goal along with deciding which psychotherapy technique to use in future sessions. With further counseling down the road and a stronger relationship with the client I could then begin defining the presenting problem, identifying and setting goals, choosing and initiation interventions, and planning termination and

The BCM is an evidence-based and empirically supported consultation model. The model uses principles of learning to help change problems and behaviors through a step-by-step consultation process. According to Chitiyo, Morgan, and Wheeler (2009) behavioral consultation is chosen more than other models of consultations. The BCM has proven to be effective in school-based programs in helping students to learn and in solving behavioral problems. The model is used to construct interventions to deal with challenging behaviors of students.

In making such an assessment, we must familiarize ourselves with the literature concerning said treatment. If this assessment shows a danger to the client, we are obligated to intervene, regardless of the potential damage to our professional relationships. However, if there appears to be no danger, Brodhead (2015) further advises translating the treatment into behavioural terminology and establishing whether use of the proposed treatment would negatively affect the client’s goals. If this is the case, the Checklist for Analyzing Proposed Treatments should be consulted before objecting to the treatment (Brodhead 2015). Following consultation, Brodhead (2015) states that our decision to intervene should be determined by the extent to which the treatment will negatively affect our client’s goals and the risk to our professional relationships.

On the other hand, non-contingent reinforcement (NCR) appears to be an antecedent intervention that will more effectively influence the client. Due to the friendly and easy methodology, this procedure will allow teachers and staff to implement this intervention without being clinically trained. Non-contingent reinforcement will allow the child to frequently gain reinforcement non contingent to the problem behavior. This will enhance the development of a more positive learning environment, along with eventually being able to develop more appropriate behaviors, especially if NCR is combined with other procedures such as differential reinforcement of alternative

Specifically, the authors identify three kinds of clients: the customer, the complainant, and the visitor. The customer is the ideal client, similar to David, this type of client plays an active role in the problem and the solution. Next, the complainant who is someone who does not believe they need to change, in this the therapist should aid the client in gathering a new perspective. Thirdly, the visitor is one who cannot reach a consensus on the problem or the goal. To adapt to these clients, therapists should focus on a different problem and demonstrate treatment results, in hopes of enhancing compliance in the sessions.

When first contacting a client, overview assessments like MOHO screening tools and Assessment of Occupational functioning are applied that covered to major components of the model. After identifying specific problem areas, more information and performance evaluation may be needed to prepare interventions. Therapists do this by applying checklist evaluation like the Interest Checklist and the Occupational Questionnaires, and observational evaluations like assessments of communication skills, assessments of motor and process skills, as well as Volitional Questionnaire and Paediatric Volitional Questionnaire. There are also specific practice evaluations like the Work Environment Impact Scale and the School Setting Interview. With enough information of the client, therapists can plan interventions for the client and further performance

Sanders Reflection and Application Paper 6 Up until this point behavior modification has discussed how to measure behavior and any corresponding changes, basic principles, and procedures on how to establish new behaviors. The next logical step deals with already established behavior and how best to either increase desirable behavior or decrease undesirable behavior (Miltenberger, 2016). Changing a person’s already established behavior is not as easy as telling someone to do more of this or to do less of that. On the contrary, research regarding behavior modification is extensive and implementing behavior modification procedures is carried out utilizing scientifically tested techniques that ensure behavioral change is both effective and lasting.
