A cognitive-behavioral approach is a foundational model for working with clients demonstrating behaviors which contradict their desired outcomes. This course looks at the Behavioral and Cognitive components separately as well as how they both work together to prevent and treat self defeating behaviors while helping clients develop pro-social replacements that are conducive to realizing goals and objectives.
