COGNITIVE APPROACHES TO BEHAVIOR CHANGE

These approaches have, for example, been used to treat such problems as:

* anxiety and depression

* adjustment problems

* marital and sexual difficulties

* psychosomatic problems

The popular conception of behavioral therapists is that they tend to be coldly scientific and mechanical. Yet a number of studies show that they are inclined to be warm individuals who show positive regard for their clients. In general they tend to be empathetic and self-congruent. These qualities are very much needed if we as clients are to feel encouraged to face one of the most difficult challenges life can pose for us: to change ourselves.
