COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR
THERAPY(Aaron Beck)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological
treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range
of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and
drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and
severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that
CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality
of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as
effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological
therapy or psychiatric medications.The term Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emerged to reflect this integration of
behavioral interventions (rooted in behaviorism) with the
cognitive restructuring techniques of cognitive therapy.
ACT ( Dr Steven,C Hayes)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a type
of psychotherapy that helps you move beyond
negative thoughts and feelings in a meaningful way
by: Accepting that your thoughts and emotions are
an appropriate response to certain situations.
Committing to making changes in your life that
match your values.You learn to understand your
feelings instead of changing them. You’ll work on
reframing your values and adjusting your
behaviors to better match them.
DBT
DBT focuses on helping people accept the reality of their
lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to
change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors.
Dialectical behavior therapy was developed in the 1970s
by Marsha Linehan, an American psychologist. There are
specific techniques used that differentiate DBT from
other types of therapy. While there are numerous
techniques that can be used, a few are more common
than others. The four main components that make up
DBT are distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness,
mindfulness, and emotional regulation.
