In Cognitive–Behavior Therapy, Dr. Jacqueline B. Persons demonstrates this frequently used system of psychotherapy. Dr. Persons uses a case conceptualization as a guide for choosing which standard cognitive–behavioral interventions to apply, and she adopts an active approach to helping clients solve problems. In this session, Dr. Persons works with a 29-year-old woman who recently developed social phobia. Together they work to overcome her fears through the use of exposure exercises and strategies for making social interactions more manageable. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material. Read about precipitating events and preceding sessions with the client
This psychotherapy approach emphasizes the use of a case conceptualization to guide the therapist's use of standard cognitive–behavioral interventions. A case formulation includes a description of the patient's overt problems as well as hypotheses about some of the core beliefs (schema) that drive and maintain both the overt problems and the patient's mode of responding to and coping with the overt problems.
