Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of Meichenbaum's self-instructional therapy, in which the client learns to guide their own behavior through self-talk and self-instruction using stimuli from their environment. Ellis's rational-emotive therapy focuses on identifying and changing irrational beliefs, Beck's cognitive therapy focuses on identifying and correcting distorted thinking patterns, and Wolpe's thought-stopping therapy involves interrupting and replacing negative thoughts. None of these approaches involve using stimuli from the environment and one's own behavior as SDs for self-instruction.
