Summary:

In this fourth session of six, Dr. Amy Wenzel demonstrates cognitive behavior therapy with a female client presenting with a gambling addiction, family relationship issues, and work-related stress. Although they initially plan to discuss coping strategies for times when she is experiencing depression, much of the session is devoted to the client's relationships with her daughter and her sisters. Dr. Wenzel helps the client navigate her experiences in these relationships and engage in a cognitive restructuring process by weighing the various evidence that might confirm or contradict the automatic thoughts that arise. She helps the client engage in role taking in order to consider other possible perspectives that might be influencing these relationship dynamics. The therapist also demonstrates the use of problem definition and formulation by helping the client understand and reconceptualize different interpersonal experiences. Finally, Dr. Wenzel encourages the client to engage in several behavioral experiments outside of the session. They discuss positive and negative outcomes that might arise and how the client would respond in these situations
