Abstract
Cognitive-behavior therapy has its roots in the resurgent interest in cognition that swept psychology during the late 1960s and early 1970s. This period served as the focal point for a shift in research psychology from a radical behavioral perspective to one emphasizing cognitively mediated processes (Kanfer, 1978; Mahoney, 1974). Broadly speaking, this shift involved the adopting by psychology of the “information-processing” perspective as the dominant metatheoretical approach to research. This perspective emphasizes the higher mental processes such as observational learning, thinking, language use, and problem solving. Within this perspective, humans are understood as actively seeking and processing environmental stimuli, rather than as passive recipients of environmental consequences. Human behavior is seen as originating from the processing of both internal and external information (Ingram & Kendall, 1986). Of central importance to the clinician is the impact this model has had on our ability to explore cognitions, affect, and behavior, particularly the interrelationships of these three variables as they contribute to both psychopathology and the therapeutic process.
