Actual Core Issues Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CB) seems to be the most appropriate approach to apply to this case.The CB model has great appeal because it fo cuses on human estimate. human beings cognitive abilities have been responsible for our many accomplishments so may overly be responsible for our problems. By exploring patterns of thinking that lead to self-destructive actions and the beliefs that direct these thoughts, this client can modify her patterns of thinking to improve coping. CB is a type of psychotherapy that is different from traditional psychodrama psychotherapy in that the healer and the client forget participatingly work together to supporter the client recover from their mental illness.People who seek CB can expect their therapist to be problem- center, and goal-directed in addressing the challenging symptoms of mental illnesses. Because CB is an active intervention, one can also expect to do homework or practice outside of sessions. Cognitive Behavior Therapy is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented. In addition, patients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. These skills guide identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviorsThe clients mother brought her in for services because of her rough behaviors and aggression. With CB, the therapist will focus on the thoughts that are causing the feelings, which are then causing the behaviors. When others tell the client something that she does not agree with or like, the client has an anger outburst and sometimes uses physical harm on the other person. The aggressive behavior could be triggered by the thought that no one else cares about what she thinks. With the CB model, we can function the client take responsibility for her own actions. When the linen plays rough with her brother, she gets angry and hits him.That behavior is triggered by the thought that clients brother is playing too rough with her and trying to hurt her. Through redirection, the therapist can work with the client to understand how positive and forbid thoughts lead to a specific thought, which then lead to a behavior. When the client is able to understand how her thoughts lead to a specific behavior, and the counselor has helped the client change the direction of her thoughts, the client will be better. When she is able to identify that a thought does to have to a negative reaction, the client will be able to discharge from treatment.Treatment Intervention The treatment intervention here, should involve the active participation of the client in exploring her thoughts and behaviors. The expectation is that the client can realize how many distorted beliefs she has and help redirect her to healthy thoughts. The clients treatment will focus on thought patterns that cause distress and also on developing more realistic interpretations of events. Delusions are treated by their beliefs and encouraging them to recognize proof that may have been overlooked, evidence that does not support the belief.The benefit o f using CB with this client is that by changing the way she thinks about a situation, the client will be able to control her behavior. The goal of treatment is aimed to help the client become aware of when she makes negative interpretations, and of behavioral patterns, which reinforce her negative thinking. CB will help her develop alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce the psychological distress. It will be the counselors Job to memorize the client how to identify distorted cognitions through a process of evaluation. The linen will learn to assort between her own thoughts and reality.The end goal is for the client to be able to identify her own unconstructive benefits and prove them wrong resulting in her beliefs changing. The role of the counselor is to help the client solve problems that are of superior distress. This can be done through a structure that seeks to maximize efficiency, learning, and therapeutic change. Important part of each session include a mood check, a bridge between sessions, proportioning an agenda, discussing specific problems and principle skills in the context of solving these problems, setting of self- alp assignments, summary, and feedback.
