WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION.
systematic desensitization therapy - ANSWER-behavioral therapy technique where phobias
developed through classical conditioning can be unlearned by exposure to fear-provoking stimulus
while pairing it with a relaxing stimulus to induce a relaxation response
aversive conditioning therapy - ANSWER-behavioral therapy technique based in classical
conditioning where a pleasurable but maladaptive behavior (like paraphilia or addiction) is paired
with an aversive stimulus so the two become associated
exposure therapy - ANSWER-2 types, flooding (actual) and implosion (imagined)
behavioral therapy technique based in operant conditioning for phobias where exposure to feared
stimuli without possibility of avoidance.
token economy therapy - ANSWER-A behavioral therapy technique based on operant conditioning
in which patients' positive behaviors are reinforced with tokens that they can exchange for desirable
items.
biofeedback therapy - ANSWER-A technique in which patients are trained to improve their health
or manage pain by learning to control certain internal bodily processes that normally occur
involuntarily, such as heart rate, respiration rate, and skin temperature.
a behavioral therapy technique based on operant conditioning where a person is given ongoing
feedback about physiological information which serves as a reinforcer to help person control visceral
changes when paired with relaxation techniques
what is the negative cognitive triad in cognitive therapy - ANSWER-negative thinking style
pertaining to self, world, and future, frequent in depression
what are the levels of cognitive processing under CBT/learning theory thinking - ANSWER-
consciousness - state of awareness where rational thinking occurs
,automatic thoughts - preconscious thoughts that happen rapidly and often outside one's awareness
which are sometimes rational and reflect reality and other times not. close enough to surface that
they can be accessed and then recognized and changed with proper training
schema - core beliefs that act as templates for information processing; enduring principles which
allow for shortcuts in interpreting vast amounts of information but may cause exclusion of pertinent
information in favor of information that confirms pre-existing beliefs. more under the surface than
automatic thoughts but still presconscious and something we can draw our attention to with digging.
all or nothing thinking/absolutist thinking (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic
thought process that views a situation in only 2 categories rather than on a continuum.
oversimplifying events or beliefs as good/bad, right/wrong, without being able to see gray area in
between
catastrophizing (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process predicting the
future negatively without considering alternative outcomes
disqualifying or discounting the positive (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic
thought process of telling yourself that positive experiences/qualities do not count
emotional reasoning (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process of
reasoning from how you feel rather than from evidence
labeling (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process putting a fixed, global
label on self or others without considering evidence that would lead to a less disastrous conclusion
magnification/minimization (CBT - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process
exaggerating the negative and minimizing the positive (blowing things out of proportion or shrinking
their importance)
personalization (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process relating
external events to yourself when there is no basis for making such a connection
imperatives (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process of making should
and must statements. having an overprecise idea of how you and others should behave and
overestimating the consequences of how bad it would be not to meet these expectations
,tunnel vision (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process of only seeing
the negative aspects of a situation
selective abstraction (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process of
paying undue attention to negative detail rather than seeing the whole picture
mind reading (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process of making
(negative) assumptions about the way in which others think about you when there is no evidence for
this
overgeneralization (CBT) - ANSWER-cognitive distortion and automatic thought process of drawing
a sweeping conclusion from a single incident and applying it to related and to unrelated situations
what are the 3 schema layers - ANSWER-layer 1 - basic rules (such as take shelter in a storm, don't
