Cognitive Behavior Therapy by Dr. Sabrina Taylor

Dr. Sabrina Taylor sataylor@coppin.edu 410-951-6076

Principles Therapy is based on a unique cognitive conceptualization of each patient. A strong therapeutic alliance is essential. Therapy is goal oriented. The initial focus of therapy is on the present. Therapy is time sensitive. Therapy sessions are structured, with active participation. Clients are taught to identify and respond to dysfunctional thoughts. Therapy emphasizes psychoeducation and relapse prevention.

Counselors must help clients: •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Identify dysfunctional and distorted thoughts and the subsequent realization of those thoughts. •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Learn how to self-monitor negative thoughts, or self-talk. •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Identify the relationships between thoughts, underlying beliefs, and feelings. •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Identify alternative thought patterns. •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Perform personal hypothesis testing regarding the validity of basic assumptions about the self, world, and future.
