Psychological theories & approaches in the workplace
• CBT (Beck, 1979) and MI (Miller & Rollnick, 1991; 2002) are psychological approaches, underpinned by evidence, that can help organisations and individuals overcome challenges related to physical, emotional, behavioural and situational factors.
• Issues within the workplace maybe; stress, resistance, burnout, presenteeism, absenteeism, sickness ill health, counter-productive work behaviours, physical ill health, poor mental health and so on.
![Page 6: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHAT IS THE AIM OF CBT?
• To increase self-awareness
• To encourage a better self-understanding
• To help us recognize the ‘negative traps’ or ‘vicious cycles’ we get caught in
• To improve self-control by developing more appropriate cognitive and behavioural skills
![Page 7: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
CBT is ‘a process and identifying and re-evaluating self defeating thinking so that a person is persuaded to engage in more effective ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving’. • A therapy using a mixture of cognitive
(thought processing) and behavioural techniques to look at the links between a person’s environment, thoughts, feelings and behaviours and the impact of these on their health and functioning
• Cognitive techniques address thoughts and thought patterns which may be ‘unhelpful’ and may trigger and/or increase anxiety
• Behavioural techniques address behaviours which may be used by a person to reduce their anxiety or avoid it altogether

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Basic Tenets
– The main theories are Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Modification.
– The way individuals structure and interpret experiences, determines their moods and behaviors.
– Changing conceptualizations lies at the heart of cognitive behavioral therapy.
– Combines both cognitive and behavioral approaches.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Basic Tenets
– Cognitive therapy rests upon the belief that what one thinks determines how one feels.
– The therapist is supportive and empathic and uses experiments and empirical processes along with a collaborative alliance with the client, to explore thinking and alternatives.
– Cognitive therapy has been used with a variety of disorders and problems (e.g. anxiety, phobias, depression).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is based on the observation that cognition, emotion,
and behavior are reciprocally related.
Cognition
Behavior Emotion

EMOTIONS
![Page 14: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Emotion
• James-Lange Theory of Emotion
– Action or response precedes emotion
– I run, therefore I must be afraid.
• Canon-Bard Theory of Emotion
– Emotion precedes action.
– I am afraid, therefore I run.
![Page 15: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Singer-Schacter Theory of Emotion
![Page 16: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Emotion #3
Emotion cannot be accessed directly, but it can be elicited in therapy.
Experiences that are accompanied by the arousal of strong emotion have more powerful effects on cognitive and behavioral patterns.
Memory (learning) is mood congruent. A recurrence of mood triggers recall of learning. A reminder of learning situation triggers the original mood.
![Page 17: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Emotional Symptoms
• Emotional excess – Overreactions or unpredictable
emotions – Excessive or overly extravagant
expression of emotion – Emotionally labile
• Emotional insufficiency – Difficulty in displaying emotion – Difficulty in “reading” emotion
in others – Difficulty in verbal expression of
emotion – Lack of self-control, poor
frustration tolerance
![Page 18: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Judgment is the emotionally (socially) relevant use of knowledge.
• Judgment takes place in the frontal cortex.
![Page 19: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Behavior
Classical Conditioning The repeated pairing of a
stimulus with a (formerly) neutral response, resulting in the stimulus coming to trigger the neutral response. (Pavlovian) Aversion therapy Desensitization Flooding Stimulus control
Alters antecedent conditions to affect behavior
![Page 21: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Behavior #2
• Operant Conditioning – Modifies “voluntary behavior”
• Positive Reinforcement: a behavior is followed by a reward. Increases behavioral frequency.
• Negative Reinforcement: a behavior is followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus. Increases behavioral frequency.
• Positive Punishment: a behavior is followed by an aversive stimulus. Decreases behavioral frequency.
• Negative Punishment: a behavior is followed by the removal of a favorable stimulus.
![Page 22: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Behavior #3
• Operant conditioning = instrumental learning (Skinnerian)
– Extinction
– Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)
– Avoidance learning (E.g., electric shock to reduce arousal in presence of child pornography)
![Page 23: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Behavior #4
• A behavior that is rewarded every time is acquired or learned quickly.
• Fading the reward schedule to intermittent makes the behavior less vulnerable to instances of non-reward. The behavior persists for a relatively long period of time, even if not rewarded.
![Page 25: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Effectiveness of consequences depends on:
• Immediacy
• Consistency (reinforcement schedule)
• Potency (cost-benefit ratio)
• Satiation (felt need for the stimulus or response)
![Page 26: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Premack Principle
• A desirable or often-engaged in behavior or situation can serve as a reinforcer for another (new) behavior.
• Example: If you always brush your teeth and need to develop a habit of taking medicine, pair the medicine routine with the teeth-brushing routine.
![Page 27: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Social Conditioning
Complex social behavior increases and decreases in frequency in response to social reinforcement and social “response cost” or punishment.
Example: A pat on the back or a thank you from the boss reinforces excellent work habits better than an increase in salary.
![Page 28: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Behavioral Difficulties
• Behavioral excess • Behavioral insufficiency • Lack of skill (lack of “know-
how”) • Restricted range of coping
strategies (“know-what”) • Behavioral inconsistency
(“know-when”) • Insufficient stimulus control
(difficulty with initiating or maintaining behavior)
• Insufficient contingency control (failure to reward self)
![Page 29: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Behavioral Difficulties #2
• Disorders of Executive Control
– Planning – Organization – Time Management – Task Management – Delay of Gratification / Poor
Impulse Control (inhibition of behavior)
– Goal Directedness (initiation of behavior)
![Page 30: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

![Page 32: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cognition
• Human cognition tends to be categorical and hierarchical. (We sort and categorize.) This is biologically determined – it’s how the brain works.
• Sorting and categorizing makes learning possible, through a process of assimilation and accommodation.
• Categorizing and comparing allows us to arrive at efficient rules for sorting the vast amount of information that confronts us every waking moment.
![Page 33: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Cognition #2
• Early-acquired cognitive rules form basic schema that tell us what information is important for survival:
– what data to actively seek, – what data is relevant and noteworthy, and
– what can be safely ignored
![Page 34: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Cognitive Schema
Early acquired schema (probably prior to age 8 or so) form our basic assumptions about ourselves and the world and the relationship between those two. They form our Core Beliefs or Basic Beliefs.
Schema tend to be partial
constructs, usually operating outside our awareness. They tend to be fragmentary, visceral, iconic vs. verbal. They are presumed true, unquestioned.
![Page 35: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Characteristics of Basic Schema
• They are absolutes. • They are unquestioningly taken as
Truths. • They are consistent across time and
situation. • They function below the level of
awareness. • They tend to be non-verbal, visceral &
iconic. • They tend to be partial constructs. • They are highly resistant to change. • They are evident only indirectly in
patterns of cognition, emotion, & behavior.
![Page 36: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Cognitive Schema may be…
Compelling
Non-Compelling
Active Latent
![Page 37: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Self-Schema • Beliefs about Self are acquired
from: – Stories told about the child
within his/her hearing – Stories told directly to the child
about themselves – Reflections of and reactions to
the child’s behavior by significant others
– Stories erroneously adopted (false memories)
• Events that happened to others • Events in books or on television
– Personal experience • Interpretations of early life
events • Experiences of success and
failure

Characteristics of
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies:
1. Thoughts cause Feelings and Behaviors.
2. Brief and Time-Limited.
3. Emphasis placed on current behavior.
![Page 41: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
4. CBT is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client.
Client role - define goals, express concerns, learn & implement learning
Therapist role - help client define goals, listen, teach, encourage.
5. Teaches the benefit of remaining calm or at least neutral when faced with difficult situations. (If you are upset by your problems, you now have 2 problems: 1) the problem, and 2) your upsetness.
![Page 42: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
6. Based on "rational thought." - Fact not assumptions.
7. CBT is structured and directive. Based on notion that maladaptive behaviors are the result of skill deficits.
8. Based on assumption that most emotional and behavioral reactions are learned. Therefore, the goal of therapy is to help clients unlearn their unwanted reactions and to learn a new way of reacting.
9. Homework is a central feature of CBT.
![Page 43: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cbt) : preparing organisations for psychological change](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030214/5899c3801a28ab45548b5393/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Three assumptions
1. Cognitive activity impacts behavior.
2. Cognitive activity can be monitored and changed.
3. A desired change in behavior can be accomplished through changing cognitions.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Strategies for Helping Clients
Beck’s cognitive psychotherapy
– The goals are to correct faulty information processing and help clients modify their assumptions that maintain their maladaptive behaviors and emotions.
Collaborative Empiricism: Therapist and client are co-investigators.
Guided Discovery: Guided by the therapist, the client engages in experiments that result in more adaptive ways of thinking.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Strategies for Helping Clients
Relaxation Training and Relaxation
Therapy
– A person cannot be in a state of complete physical relaxation while at the same time be emotionally anxious.
– Works well for stress, anxiety, physiological problems, workplace pressures, and coping with modern lifestyles.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Strategies for Helping Clients Mental and Emotive Imagery
– Mental Imagery is a process through which a person focuses on vivid mental pictures of experiences or events—past, present or future.
– Emotive Imagery: It is a procedure where the client imagines the emotional sensations and feelings of an actual situation or behavior.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Strategies for Helping Clients
– Cognitive Modeling: Identification of what maladaptive or bad thoughts or emotions the client wishes to be rid of and then the therapist models with self-talk that the client will incorporate.
– Covert Modeling: A client imagines engaging in the desired behaviors he or she wants to learn or adopt.
– Thought Stopping: Interruption of unwanted thoughts when they occur by shouting “stop” whenever the unwanted thought pops into consciousness.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Strategies for Helping Clients
– Cognitive Restructuring:
Replacement of negative, maladaptive thoughts with positive, adaptive ones.
– Reframing: To modify or restructure a person’s view or perception regarding a problem or behavior.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Strategies for Helping Clients
– Meditation and Relaxation: Helps the client concentrate on some internal or external stimulus that serves to focus the client’s attention away from aversive stimuli.
– Biofeedback: Uses technology to communicate to a client what his or her own body is doing and then allows that person to use mental processes to control bodily functions.
– Neurolinguistic programming: Using the client’s sensory language to fully experience the client’s inner world (e.g. I see that (visual); I feel that (kinesthetic) ; I hear that auditory).

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Strategies for Helping Clients
– Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR):
Used primarily to treat traumatic memories.
The client imagines the scene, is aware of the negative statement regarding that scene (along with noxious feelings), and then follows the therapist’s finger with his or her eyes.
Then the client erases the image from his or her mind.
This is continued over a series of steps until hopefully the painful image and noxious feelings and memories are removed.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy Advantages of Cognitive Behavior
Therapy
– It has established human thought processes as data or events that can be studied.
– It validated a number of relaxation techniques.
– It has enhanced the rational therapies such as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.
– Uses the systematic scientist-practitioner model.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Disadvantages of Cognitive Behavior Therapy
– It has been harshly judged by feminists, multiculturalists and ecologists because it mirrors masculine and Euro-American worldviews and does not adequately take culture into consideration.
– It requires a lot of training and skill.
– The therapist needs to not only understand cognitive techniques but also have a vast understanding of behavioral and learning theories.
– The therapist needs to have strong discipline and there is less tolerance for error.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Diverse Populations
