A client states “It doesn’t matter what I do, nothing goes right for me.” This is an example of________________ in cognitive therapy.
  1. All-or-nothing thinking
  2. Overgeneralization
  3. Catastrophizing
  4. Disqualifying the positive
Explanation
Answer - B - Overgeneralization occurs when a person draws sweeping conclusions that are not justified by the evidence, as in the case of this statement. It is similar to all-or-nothing thinking, which is viewing a situation in terms of extremes such as “either I am completely good or completely bad.: Catastrophizing is predicting a negative outcome without considering other possibilities and disqualifying the positive focuses on only negative information, ignoring any positive input.
