AP Psychology
Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.8
How could one challenge the cognitive-behavioral approach's focus on dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors as causes of disorders?
It overlooks potential biological or genetic roots which might also contribute to these mental conditions.
The human mind isn't capable of dysfunctional thoughts or behaviors - these are just labels society imposes on people who think differently.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is ineffective for treating severe mental health conditions like schizophrenia.
Dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors are signs of weakness rather than symptoms of a disorder.
