Cognitive, Transactional Analysis, and Gestalt Approaches - Passing the CPCE & NCE Exam

Описание: This material serves as a comprehensive educational guide to various psychotherapy models, comparing the theories and techniques of prominent figures in the field. It contrasts Albert Ellis’s Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) with Maxie Maultsby’s Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT), while also highlighting Aaron Beck’s cognitive approach to treating depression through the challenge of absolute thought patterns. The material further explains Eric Berne’s Transactional Analysis (TA), detailing the Parent, Adult, and Child ego states and the social "games" individuals play to avoid intimacy. Fritz Perls’s Gestalt therapy is introduced as an experiential method focusing on holistic awareness and the "here and now" to integrate disowned parts of the personality. Additionally, the source touches upon specialized interventions like stress inoculation, neurolinguistic programming, and various counselor effectiveness scales. Through these comparisons, the text illustrates how different practitioners address human cognition, behavior, and emotional development.
