Document Summary
When someone comes into a therapist"s office, they almost never come in with an incredibly well-specified behavioral problem that can now be treated by cbt therapist. People almost always come to therapy with global, amorphous, hard to articulate complaints. In cogbehavioral/behavioral realm, you will begin with global, generic, not very well-specified complaint. Need to refine that into more precise behavioral, cognitive behavioral problems through abc type of analysis. New wave / third wave in psychology. From disorder to normal, from normal to superb ( -5 ----- 0 ----- Client centered therapy: person comes in and says things like i"m so unhappy can"t stand marriage etc. ); therapist repeats exactly what you just said essentially. Some need for autonomy, need for connection, some degree of need for developing own talents/competencies/etc: adds something else too. Born w/ organismic valuing process: idea that i am born with the capability to know/feel what it is. Refers to this truth as organismic experience.
