Summary:

In this video, Dr. Steve Hollon demonstrates cognitive therapy targeting a client's negative self-schemas and maladaptive relational patterns. The demonstration covers techniques used across three separate therapy sessions over the course of a few months, and Dr. Hollon provides an overview of the case in the time between sessions for context. First, Dr. Hollon introduces an Alternative Rationale exercise to help the client think about herself, her schemas, and events in her life in different ways. Dr. Hollon and the client discuss ways to help the client feel like she is in control of what happens in the therapy room. Next, Dr. Hollon uses a Three-Legged Stool diagram to help the client outline her current life situation, childhood events, and the therapeutic relationship in order to examine and understand them more deeply. Finally, Dr. Hollon uses a Cognitive Conceptualization diagram to help the client identify her core beliefs and harmful behavioral patterns across relationships in her life. Integrating the information gained from these techniques, Dr. Hollon helps the client identify how she may change her behaviors to achieve the more intimate relationships she desires. The client in this video is played by an actor on the basis of a composite of cases
