Ellis - answerRET (Rational Emotive Therapy) a form of cbt

Skinner - answeroperant conditioning
Operant conditioning - answervoluntary 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 - answerAbsence 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 - answerYaslom: 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 - answerYaslom: 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 - answerYaslom: 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 - answerYaslom: 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 - answerYaslom: 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 - answerYaslom: 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.
Imitative behavior - answerYaslom: One way in which group members can develop social skills is
through a modeling process, observing and imitating the therapist and other group members. For
example, sharing personal feelings, showing concern, and supporting others.
Cohesiveness - answerYaslom: Is the primary therapeutic factor from which all others flow.
Humans are herd animals with an instinctive need to belong to groups, and personal development
can only take place in an interpersonal context. A cohesive group is one in which all members feel
