Document Summary
May be least likely to work with those who are more severely depressed. Research on effectiveness with problems other than depression suggests the treatment is promising, but studies are not conclusive. Cognitive coping skills training: some problems maintained by a deficit of adaptive cognitions. Self-instructional training: initially developed to treat impulsive children"s behaviours: identify the problem situation, define desirable target behaviour to be increased, and identify competing behaviours, identify self-instructions to be used in the problem situation. May include cue cards to use as prompts: use behavioural skills training to teach self-instructions. Modelling: adult model performs task while using self-instructions. Instructions: child is given deliberate strategy to follow; adult gives instructions while child performs the task. Rehearsal: child practices task while verbalized instructions aloud; instructions are gradually faded. Feedback: performance is immediately evaluated; praise or other reinforcers given for correct performance. Has been successfully applied to impulsive behaviours, schizophrenic behaviours, anger, obesity, as well as deficits in assertive behaviours.
