PSYCH 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 37: Nonverbal Communication, Personalization, Therapeutic Relationship
Document Summary
Learning to think more rationally and logically. Focus on distorted thinking and unrealistic beliefs that lead to maladaptive behavior. Helps clients test the truth of their beliefs, assumptions, and attributions concerning their own behavior and the behavior of others. As they currently stand, not like freud who would try to find an early cause. Individuals jump to a conclusion without any evidence to support that conclusions. Someone cancelling a lunch and thinking that person is mad at you. It is illogical because there is no information to support that. Focusing on only one aspect of a situation and ignoring other aspects that are important to the situation. Not getting into a college but not focusing that they only accept. Making a large sweeping conclusion based only on one thing. Thinking you won"t ever be able to get into a college because one college didn"t accept you. Negative events blown out of proportion in terms of importance.
