In Cognitive–Affective Behavior Therapy, Dr. Marvin R. Goldfried shows how this approach works. Although primarily a cognitive–behavioral approach, this therapy also incorporates elements of experiential therapy so as to increase the possibility of the client having connective experiences between sessions. In this session, Dr. Goldfried works with a 31-year-old woman who is struggling with expressing her feelings and being vulnerable in the most serious relationship she has had since her divorce 8 years ago. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material. Read about precipitating events and preceding sesssions
The approach is predominantly cognitive–behavioral in orientation, but with the incorporation of contributions from experiential and interpersonally oriented psychodynamic therapy. It is possible to incorporate elements from these different orientations by thinking of the change process as involving certain common principles. Included among these general principles of change is the facilitation of expectations that the psychotherapy will be helpful; the presence of an optimal therapeutic relationship; the offering of feedback for purposes of increasing the patient's awareness; the encouragement of corrective experiences; and the emphasis on continued reality testing, a form of "working through."
