THE PROCESS OF CHANGE IN COGNITIVE THERAPY - SCHEMA CHANGE OR ACQUISITION OF COMPENSATORY SKILLS

This article compares two competing models of the process of change in cognitive therapy: the schema change model and the compensatory skills modeL There are two key differences between the models. They differ in their predictions about the timing of schema change, and in their statements about the generality of the lessons learned in cognitive therapy. Experiments that test these two differences between the models are suggested.
