Discussion | public health | Adler University

Read Liese and Larson (1995) uploaded . As you read, make connections between the article and the assigned readings in the textbook. Then discuss:

• What makes cognitive therapy different from other types of psychotherapy (hint: Cognition refers to the mental processes that occur in the brain such as thoughts, decisions, memory, etc.)?
  • This portion can be your best guess. In other words, I won’t count off if your wrong. I just want to point out that there are a multitude of different types of psychotherapies. Also, CBT is usually the most effective. 
• Based upon the article and what you have read in the textbook, what are some important things for health care providers (either from a mental health or physical health perspective) keep in mind when addressing patients with a long term illness?
