Drawing upon a large secular literature, Christian approaches to cognitive-behavioral therapy have emphasized the importance of helping clients to change false assumptions about themselves, their faith, and the world. A common clinical challenge, however, is that clients indicate that they know the truth in an academic sense, but are not able to relate to and incorporate the truth in such a way that it transforms their lives. They know the truth, but it does not set them free. This article describes a number of approaches to assess core assumptions accurately, to help clients to take different perspectives about changing resistant assumptions, and to utilize behavioral strategies, social support, imagery and prayer as vehicles for experiencing and incorporating God's truth in a deeper way.

Chapter 3, “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Theory and Practice,” presents the history, examines the theoretical underpinnings, and explains the essential skills and techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Theoretical principles, such as cognitive distortions, underlying assumptions and schema, and their presentation in older adults, are discussed. The treatment approach of CBT is outlined, including the nature of the therapeutic relationship, changing cognitions, behavioral strategies, the use of homework in treatment, and special considerations and adaptations for practice with older clients. Various contexts and settings where CBT is implemented are summarized, such as individual and group settings within community-based, acute-care, and long-term-care facilities. The chapter ends with the case example of cognitive behavioral treatment with an older female caregiver, which highlights and illustrates CBT practice with older adults.

Prolonged instability of socio-political conditions and unpredictable transformations in the modern life of many countries of the world require from the average person realization of stress-protective abilities and constant activation of an adaptive reserve. These features of modern life make increased demands on psychotherapeutic practice. One of the most recognized modern methods of psychotherapeutic care around the world is cognitive-behavioral therapy, which is rapidly evolving and systematically updated with new data. We consider timely and relevant analysis of recent publications in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy and identification of promising research topics that will serve as a basis for their further in-depth study. The purpose of the article is to determine the main directions and priority topics of research of cognitive-behavioral therapy at the present stage of its development (for the last 5 years during 2017-2021). During the research the methods of theoretical analysis of scientific sources on research issues were used; systematization, generalization of the analyzed data. According to the results of our study, two main areas were identified: theoretical and methodological (specified components of the “third wave” of cognitive-behavioral therapy; data on comparing the methodology of cognitive-behavioral therapy with other psychotherapeutic practices, including Gestalt therapy, Мusic therapy) and methodical (means of cognitive-behavioral therapy aimed at diagnosing cognitive errors – “Scale of emotional schemes of R. Likha” in adaptation by N. Sirota, questionnaire of cognitive errors by A. Freeman, R. DeVolf in adaptation by O. Bobrov and E. Faizrakhmanova, Scale of cognitive exposures R. Kovin in the adaptation of T. Kryukova, identified areas of implementation of modern training programs of cognitive-behavioral therapy – educational activities, family relationships). The obtained results can be applied in the education in order to update the work programs and educational literature on teaching the basics of cognitive-behavioral therapy. A review of current research on cognitive-behavioral therapy has shown that the priority topics of the theoretical and methodological direction are the latest trends of the third wave of cognitive-behavioral therapy, as well as a comparative analysis of cognitive-behavioral therapy and other psychotherapeutic practices. The most relevant topics of methodological direction are the development and adaptation of methodological tools of cognitive-behavioral therapy; improvement of technologies for conducting sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy in clinical practice; introduction of training programs in the paradigm of cognitive-behavioral therapy in socio-pedagogical practice. It can be generalized that modern cognitive-behavioral therapy is intensively developed and updated in accordance with the requirements of the time (integration of approaches, Internet communication, mobile applications for cognitive-behavioral therapy).

Pain Chronification

Current treatments for chronic pain are often ineffective. At the same as searching for novel therapeutics, there is growing interest in preventing acute pain becoming chronic. While the field is still in its infancy, its knowledge base is increasingly expanding. Certainly, biomedical factors, for example, the type of tissue damage, are important but they are often not modifiable. Psychosocial risk factors (e.g., thoughts and beliefs about pain, mood, social support, workplace problems) are modifiable. There is an increasing body of research that cognitive behavioral therapy can prevent transition. Internet-based delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy improves access. Clinicians need to be aware that they may inadvertently promote pain chronification in their patients by what they say and do.

Abstract BackgroundAfrican American (AA) adults are 60% more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) and experience more complications than non-Hispanic White adults. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a technique that combines traditional care with cognitive and psychosocial techniques. We aimed to assess the effects of CBT integrated with motivational interviewing (MI) on glycemic control in AA participants and understand their perspectives, attitudes, and experiences toward CBT. MethodsUsing a randomized, parallel design pilot study (web-based group vs in-person group), 20 participants aged >18 years, identifying as AA, and having a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) > 8%, were recruited. CBT was administered in six sessions over three months. Participants completed baseline and follow-up assessments on measures for diabetes control (HbA1c), self-efficacy, generalized anxiety, depression, perceived stress, health-related quality of life and cognitive ability. Post-CBT focus groups were conducted to determine patient perspectives regarding the intervention. ResultsFourteen participants completed the study, their mean HbA1c improved from 8.5% to 7.7%. The Diabetes Distress Scale demonstrated decreased distress overall (t(26)=2.6; p- value=0.02). The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale demonstrated decreased generalized anxiety for all participants (t(26)=2.2; p =0.04). Themes identified in focus groups included: (1) intervention group social support through information sharing; (2) mental health and personal identities in diabetes understanding and management; (3) receptivity to CBT/MI Intervention positively impacts self-efficacy through improved health literacy. ConclusionGroup-based CBT intervention for type 2 DM care was positively received by AA participants and helped improve diabetes control, as demonstrated by the change in HbA1c. There were additional benefits of social support through group interactions and a stronger sense of self-efficacy due to health education. A comprehensive treatment plan like CBT, may be useful in promoting healthy diabetes self-management.Trial registrationThis trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the identifier NCT03562767. 70 Registered 19 June 2018, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03562767?term=NCT03562767&draw=2&rank=1
