Question:
A client reports to a social worker that he is having problems with his wife because he feels that she does not care about him. The social worker discovers that this belief stems from her perceived distraction when the husband is talking. The social worker challenges this thought and helps him replace it with an alternative one that she “does care, but just has a lot of other demands for her attention.” The approach used by the social worker is:
A
Cognitive behavioral therapy
explanation
Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are responsible for clients’ difficulties. In this approach, the social worker assists the client to change attitudes and his or her behavior by focusing on the thoughts, images, beliefs, and attitudes that are held (cognitive processes) and replacing distorted thinking patterns with healthy ones (cognitive restructuring).
