Understanding C-B Approaches • Cognitions affect: other cognitions, emotions, and behavior. • Cognitions lead to behavioral changes. • Cognitions play a major role in the development and maintenance of addiction and criminality. Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com
Understanding C-B Approaches • Behavior is developed and maintained by external events (cues or reinforcement) and by internal processes (cognitions) • De-emphasizes early child hood experiences and emphasizes the here and now • Social learning (How a person came to think as he or she does) Terrence D.

Traps to Avoid • Question – Answer • (“the interrogation”) • Taking Sides (arguing for change) • Expert Trap • Labeling Trap • Premature Focus • Blaming Trap Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com
GENERAL PRINCIPLES • Express Empathy • Develop Discrepancy • Roll with Resistance • Support Self-Efficacy Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com
Express Empathy • Acceptance facilitates change • Skillful reflective listening is fundamental • Ambivalence is normal Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com
Develop Discrepancy • The client, rather than the officer should present the arguments for change. • Change is motivated by a perceived discrepancy between present behavior and important personal goals or values. Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com
Roll with Resistance • Avoid arguing for change. • Resistance is not directly opposed. • New perspectives are invited, but not imposed. • The client is the primary resource in finding answers and solutions. • Resistance is a signal to respond differently. Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com
Support Self-Efficacy • A person’s belief in the possibility of change is an important motivator. • The client, not the officer, is responsible for choosing and carrying out change. • The officer’s own belief in the person’s ability to change becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
