Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychological therapy. The emphasis is on recognising and modifying negative thoughts and beliefs and maladaptive behaviours, subsequently impacting on mood and emotions.

In each meeting we get involved in the critical decision making process to address emotional and behavioral issues associated with our students. I recommend the course of action after evaluating the situations from the faculty point of views.

In the study done by Drossel, Fisher, & Mercer (2011), a Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills training manual (DBT Skills) was used for caregivers of patients with dementia, mainly in community clinical settings. This was designed because of the lack of effective therapy options currently in healthcare for elderly abuse. Researchers studied the DBT Skills training manual to examine if its effect would not only help at-risk caregivers to decrease the harm towards elderly patients with dementia, but also improve quality of life for the patients. There were 24 caregivers (19 women and five men) and most were family members. The DBT Skills training entailed one introductory meeting and eight weekly sessions.
Carla A behavior intervention plan (BIP) is a plan that’s designed to teach reward positive behaviors. This can help prevent for stop problem behaviors in school.

After observing the clients behavior, it is evident that she has a problem limiting her excessive cellular device usage. Therefore, the behavioral intervention plan will be targeting the client’s cellular device usage in class, as well as outside of class. The plan will be targeting all cellular device usage, which includes playing games, texting, scrolling though social media sites, and finally listening to music. To prevent the client from using her phone during lectures, the behavioral plan instructed her professors to make her write an essay whenever she is using her phone.
It is believed the most influential model in treatment methods of depression has been Aaron Beck’s cognitive theory of depression (Beck 1976). Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely practised branch of psychotherapy. It was developed in the seventies by Professor Aaron T Beck. He concluded that in his treatment of depression, a combination of cognitive and behaviour therapies were more effective than psychoanalysis. By using clinical observation of depressed patients Beck was able to come to the conclusion that patients had a negative cognitive triad where they had a negative view of themselves, the world and their future.
Last summer my little brother found a stray cat in the backyard one day and he wanted to keep it. When began feeding it and keeping it a bowl of water on the front porch for the cat. We then took the cat to the vet and got him fixed and made sure everything was okay. The vet told us that thee were no problems and that we could keep the cat. My dad then said that we needed to train the cat because he did not want a cat that was useless.
The use of ADHD medicine in our society has taken an alarming rise in the recent years. This rise appears to be continuing in the upcoming years. According to Rose: “The New York Times looks at a new report that finds a steep rise in young adults taking medicine for ADHD.

The patient will work on thinking more realistically and replace the negative thoughts. This helps remove any stigmas or false beliefs that may be held concerning DID. It is one of the most common ways to treat DID as it is effective and inexpensive. Dialectical Behavior Therapy Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is similar to CBT, but rather than trying to fix negative thoughts, it accepts them.
These approaches are modern-day behaviorism, rational emotive behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and reality therapy. Each one of these forms of therapy make up what we now as the cognitive behavior approaches. These approaches were developed by men like Albert Ellis, Aaron Beck, and William Glasser. The cognitive-behavioral therapies are meant to be a short term treatment. It is goal orientated, and a pretty hands on approach.
It is a hands on approach to dealing with problems which affect people’s day to day lives; it focuses on the here and now, tackling current difficulties and unhelpful thinking patterns, as opposed to the deep seated historical causes focused on by psychoanalysis. (Shirlaw, I and Lantin, B, 2006). Therefore CBT addresses the interaction between these thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is aimed at changing the ways we think and do things which cause us psychological distress. ‘’Our behaviour may then change as a result of thinking differently.
"The Learning process is built on experience that results in a comparatively permanent change in behaviour or behavioural potential." (Gerrig, 2002). All living beings, animals and humans, learn. Learning is a continuous process, it begins at birth and ends at death. There are many different learning theories and many different theorists with beliefs on how we learn.
