This unit covers methods of cognitive-behavioural assessment and therapy. The methods are used to help individuals develop adaptive behaviours, emotions, and cognitions. Among the treatment techniques covered are progressive-muscle relaxation training, reinforcement, shaping, extinction, modelling, role-playing, in vivo rehearsal, instruction, systematic desensitisation, cognitive restructuring, and self-control training. Students learn through reading assignments, class demonstrations and discussions, small group activities, and a major application project. Assessment is based on a written report of the application project and an examination.
