Changing conceptions of cognitive behavior modification: retrospect and prospect

D Meichenbaum. J Consult Clin Psychol. 1993 Apr.

Abstract

A retrospective analysis of cognitive behavior modification reveals that 3 major metaphors have been offered to explain the role that cognitions play in behavior change. These metaphors include cognition as a form of conditioning, information processing, and, currently, narrative construction. The implications of using each of these metaphors are discussed.
