Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Meichenbaum's cognitive behavior modification focuses on changing thought patterns to influence behavior.
Recognize that a key component involves teaching clients to use self-instructional statements, which are deliberate, positive self-talk to guide their actions.
Eliminate options that do not align with cognitive behavior modification principles, such as focusing exclusively on unconscious conflicts, which is more related to psychoanalysis.
Exclude reliance primarily on medication, as cognitive behavior modification emphasizes cognitive and behavioral techniques rather than pharmacological interventions.
Dismiss the idea of encouraging clients to avoid discussing their thoughts, since cognitive behavior modification requires active engagement with one's thoughts to modify behavior.
