The Cognitive-behavioural School
Traditional behaviour therapy focuses mainly on changing observable behaviours by means of providing different or rewarding consequences. The cognitive-behavioural school broadens behaviour therapy to incorporate the contribution of how people think to creating, sustaining and changing their problems. .
If we change the way we speak and think about things, we can change our behaviour.
CBT or cognitive behavioural therapy is a theoretical perspective which assumes internal covert processes called thinking or cognition occur, and these cognitive processes mediate changes in a person's behaviour. If we change the way we speak and think about things, we can change our behaviour.
- From the cognitive-behavioural perspective we value this focus on ways in which our thinking affects how we feel and how we behave. Although thinking and feeling are important dimensions, it is also important to look at what we are actually doing, how we are behaving.
