Abstract
Cognitive-behavioral interventions are founded on the principle that individuals’ thoughts about their experiences and themselves influence their affect and behavior (Beck, 1967). When these thoughts are distorted, they can trigger maladaptive information processing, leading to the development of pathological symptoms. The central tenet underlying cognitive-based treatments is that therapeutic change occurs when individuals successfully transform their dysfunctional cognitions and behaviors (Curry & Reinecke, 2003). Cognitive restructuring methods are used to address dysfunctional cognitions, including expectations, beliefs, and self-statements (Beck, Shaw, Rush, & Emery, 1979).
