Mastermind-groups. Dr. Ron Clavier - Clinical Services. Cognitive-behavioural therapy integrates the cognitive restructuring approach of cognitive therapy with the behavioural modification techniques of behavioural therapy.
The therapist works with the patient to identify both the thoughts and the behaviours that are causing distress, and to change those thoughts in order to readjust the behaviour. In some cases, the patient may have certain fundamental core beliefs, called schemas, which are flawed and require modification. Cognitive therapy assumes that maladaptive behaviours and disturbed mood or emotions are the result of inappropriate or irrational thinking patterns, called automatic thoughts.
