Abstract

Cognitive behavioral interventions (CBIs) attempt to affect behavior change by teaching relevant tasks that are based around strategies to correct cognitive distortions through the application of logic and the search for evidence. The underlying premise of CBIs is that thinking precedes feelings and feelings precede behavior. Therefore, if cognitions change then feelings and behaviors will change. Goals are clearly specified; decisions are made on how to best meet specified goals and how to measure progress toward goals to provide feedback. The intervention is task-oriented, focused on problem solving and the teaching of specific skills. The purpose of this paper is to describe the theoretical basis for CBIs and to discuss practical implementation of CBIs in educational settings.
