Questions and answers, verified.

Identify and Describe problems with structuring a CBT session - ✔✔-Interrupting the client - feeling
overwhelmed by the patient's outpouring of problems

in treatment

of the session

resolve



Strategies to overcome the problems associated with structuring a CBT session - ✔✔-Interrupting the
client - can i interrupt you for a minute? i want to make sure i get what's been going on

Socializing the client to the structure and format - describe, provide a rationale, and monitor with gentle
corrective feedback each of the session elements

Engaging the patient - be alert to dysfunctional cognitions and help patients respond to them

Uncooperative vs. controlling clients - ask them to comply as an experiment vs. negotiate a compromise
and move the patient toward the standard structure

Mood check annoyance - socializing the client to completing the form - importance, rationale, is there a
practical difficulty that needs to be resolved?

Brief vs. extended weekly update - Can i interrupt you for a moment? could you just tell me about your
week in tow or three sentences?

, Discussion of agenda items - structure the discussion appropriately, monitor the passage of time (2
agenda items), be conscious of your goal solve or partially solve problem and assign homework

rationale, forgets to review homework, does not stress importance, does not teach, does not have client
write down, non-collaborative

Identify and Describe the Characteristics of Automatic Thoughts (ATs) - ✔✔-Automatic/ involuntary -
Arise without obvious conscious processing

Situation-specific - Look for situations that give rise to the shift

Habitual - Accepted as normal, taken for granted, doesn't demand attention

Dysfunctional - distort reality, emotionally distressing, interfere with ability to reach goals

Negative - unless manic, narcissistic, or substance user

Subjective

Rapid/ Fleeting/ Brief - normally more aware of the emotion they feel rather than thoughts themselves

Condensed/ Abbreviated - Cognitive shorthand, maybe symbolic/ visual image

Repetitive - Look for patterns/ emerging themes

Can be evaluated according to their validity and their utility

Accepted as true despite reflection or evaluation



Importance and Origin of Automatic Thoughts - ✔✔-thoughts relevant to personal problems are
associated with specific emotions, depending on their content and meaning. They are often brief and
fleeting, in shorthand form, and may occur in verbal and/ or imaginal form. People usually accept their
automatic thoughts as true, without reflection or evaluation. Identifying, evaluating, and responding to
automatic thoughts (in a more adaptive way) usually produces a positive shift in affect



Techniques used to elicit Automatic Thoughts - ✔✔-Ask for situation specific information - pay attention
to distortions and repetitive focus on thoughts and feelings

Direct questioning - what was going through your mind

Notice and comment on emotional shifts and where they are felt in the body

Visualize the situation (role play)

Supply the opposite of what you think they feel
