Featuring Donald Meichenbaum, PhD, with discussant William Glasser, MD.

The development of cognitive-behavior therapy parallels major developments in how to conceptualize the role of cognition in psychopathology and behavior change.

He will examine the therapeutic and research implications of this shift.
Educational Objectives:
- To trace the history of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
- To evaluate the usefulness and implications of a "constructive narrative perspective."
- To critically evaluate the empirical status of CBT and consider possible future directions.
