Beck

• Beck's approach to CBT is based off of the negative triad
• Catching negative automatic thoughts

  Clients are asked to identify the automatic thoughts about self , future and world

  THEN

  Client is asked to notice the association between the thoughts and the feelings

  THEN

  Clients are taught to challenge negative thoughts and replace them with more realistic ones
• Test the reality of these thoughts

  Clients are set homework to find evidence to challenge these thoughts - ' clients as scientists '

  In future sessions the therapist will produce this evidence to remind them that these are incorrect thought processes
