Judith Beck, a leading cognitive therapist, has recommended 10 procedures for an initial session. What is not one of these procedures?
  1. Establish a meaningful agenda
  2. Identify and review presenting problems
  3. Lead the client in a series of free associations
  4. Establish goals
Explanation
Answer - C - Leading the client in a series of free associations is a therapeutic tool for psychoanalysis, not cognitive therapy. The remaining seven procedures Beck recommends are as follows: determine and measure the intensity of the person’s mood, educate the person about cognitive therapy and the role of the client, provide information about the person’s difficulties and diagnosis, recommend tasks and homework between sessions, summarize the session, and obtain the client’s feedback on the sessions.
