Three Approaches to Psychotherapy III, Part 2: Dr. Donald Meichenbaum--Cognitive-Behavior Modification*

• 1986 ----- color ----- 47 min ----- 16mm/vhs
• Dr. Meichenbaum says that behavior, from a Cognitive-Behavioral perspective, is a reflection of several processes: the kinds of thoughts, beliefs, internal dialogues, images, feelings and the ways we appraise the environment. The job of the therapist includes helping the patient become aware of: a) each of these processes, b) the kinds of behavioral patterns the patient emits over and over in differing situations, c) the reactions the patient elicits from others. The therapist is to help the patient to view these reactions as evidence and to nurture the courage in the patient to "try something different," to perform personal experiments in order to unfreeze beliefs, to discover options and to change.
