cognitive errors, and the cognitive triad (i.e., negative views of self, tendency toward
interpreting experiences in a negative manner, and holding negative views of the future).

bheavior (symptoms)



Ellis - CORRECT aNSWER-RET (Rational Emotive Therapy) a form of cbt

Skinner - CORRECT aNSWER-operant conditioning



Operant conditioning - CORRECT aNSWER-voluntary behaviors are learned through
consequences, and behavioral responses are elicited through reinforcement, which
causes a behavior to occur more frequently. Positive reinforcement- getting a gift, or
negative reinforcement- removal of objectionable' or aversive stimulus



Skinner - CORRECT aNSWER-Absence of reinforcement, or extinction, also decreases
behavior by withholding a reward that has become habitual. Teachers employ this
strategy in the classroom when they ignore acting-out behavior that had previously been
rewarded by more attention.

, Skinner's behavior model provides a concrete method for modifying or replacing
behaviors. Behavior management and modification programs based on his principles
have shown to be successful in altering targeted behaviors. Programmed learning and
token economies represent extensions of Skinner's thoughts on learning. Behavioral
methods are particularly effective with children, adolescents, and individuals with many
forms of chronic mental illness.



Universality - CORRECT aNSWER-Yaslom: The recognition of shared experiences and
feelings among group members and that these may be widespread or universal human
concerns, serves to remove a group member's sense of isolation, validate their
experiences, and raise self-esteem.



Altruism - CORRECT aNSWER-Yaslom: The group is a place where members can help each
other, and the experience of being able to give something to another person can lift the
member's self esteem and help develop more adaptive coping styles and interpersonal
skills.



Instillation of hope - CORRECT aNSWER-Yaslom: In a mixed group that has members at
various stages of development or recovery, a member can be inspired and encouraged
by another member who has overcome the problems with which they are still struggling.



Imparting information - CORRECT aNSWER-Yaslom: While this is not strictly speaking a
psychotherapeutic process, members often report that it has been very helpful to learn
factual information from other members in the group, for example, about their treatment
or about access to services.



Corrective recapitulation of primary family experience - CORRECT aNSWER-Yaslom:
Members often unconsciously identify the group therapist and other group members
with their own parents and siblings in a process that is a form of transference specific to
group psychotherapy. The therapist's interpretations can help group members gain
understanding of the impact of childhood experiences on their personality, and they may
learn to avoid unconsciously repeating unhelpful past interactive patterns in present-day
relationships.



Development of socializing techniques - CORRECT aNSWER-Yaslom: The group setting
provides a safe and supportive environment for members to take risks by extending their
repertoire of interpersonal behavior and improving their social skills.
