Topic 2: Cognitive Theories {by 9/17}
There are three readings due this week (Beck, A. T.; Beck, J. S.; Volungis). For this discussion, share at least two thoughts: (1) What is your understanding of Lazarus’ and Folkman’s conceptualization of cognitive appraisal and coping in relation to CBT? (2) What are your initial impressions in your ability to understand and consistently apply the basic principles of CBT as a therapist? (I realize many of you do not yet have any therapy experience. However, now is a good time to start thinking about being a CBT therapist. Many of you will be starting your practicum next summer!)
Your original post should be posted by the beginning of class 9/17. Have your two replies posted no later than 9/19. *Please remember to click the “reply” button when posting a reply. This makes it easier for the reader to follow the blog postings.
