Chapter 10: Cognitive Therapy Video Blog

Video Title: Cognitive Approach

   In this video we can see some of the client's maladaptive schemas. One such schema involves his view on others. The therapists indicates the clients thoughts that 'others' are not trustworthy, and won't be there when he would need them most. The client reaffirms this statement by adding his belief that f he does not assiciate with them he then won't need them. All of this displays the maladaptive schema of 'People can't be trusted' as apposed to the adaptive schema of 'People respect me'.
