Description
Description:
Cognitive psychology has given rise to new understandings about how people gather and use information. This includes how people decide, usually at a level outside of awareness, what to pay attention to in a given environment and, likewise, what can be deemed irrelevant. One good “how” question can bring into sharp focus what the client doesn’t know—or knows that isn’t so—that’s working against him or her in some debilitating way. This highly practical workshop will focus on the “how” question as a vehicle for identifying the specific discriminations—key elements that distinguish good options from poor ones—that a client can learn to make that will lead to better decisions and a better quality of life.
Educational Objectives:
- Assess the role of cognitive style in decision-making.
- Describe the role of global cognitions in client problems.
- Identify key discriminations that underlie specific clinical presentations.
