Cognitive therapy is reserved for the theoretical structure developed by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960's. Cognitive therapy is to emphasize the role of cognition in dysfunction and intervention. Cognitive therapy includes REBT, problem solving, self-instructional training, and coping skill approaches. CT has three basic stages: establishing the working relationship, setting goals, and socializing the client. Socialization involves directly teaching the cognitive model and educates the client about counseling sessions.
Cognitive therapy can be important to advocate flexible uses that attack dysfunctional thoughts and is appropriate if the counselor and client agree on its use. Using this technique in the student affairs profession would consist of talking to the student and coming up with different ideas that would help better the students mental thoughts. For example: I could help to develop strategies that help students abstain from drinking, by evaluating what triggers the student to drink and evaluate dysfunctional beliefs and alternative ideas to abstain from drinking.
