Cognitive Behavioural Counselling In Action – Peter Trower

Counsellor: Is it? Supposing I think you are a Unicorn, would you become one? Client: No of course not. Counsellor: But supposing someone whose opinion you respect very much — such as your mother — said you were a Unicorn. Would you be one then? Client: No, that’s ridiculous. Counsellor: So it clearly doesn’t follow that you become what people think you are. Can you think of a more realistic alternative belief to that one?

Client: Calling someone names doesn’t change them. The counsellor should also attend to the type of evaluation that the other is said to be making of the client. Is it an evaluation about a part or the whole of the client (see question 3), or a relative or absolute evaluation (see question 4), or an evaluation in which the other is preferring or demanding some change in the client (see question 5). Each of these kinds of evaluations can then be disputed as suggested in the guidelines below.

Self-to-other evaluations. Imagine this time that the client makes an evaluation that something someone else did was bad, and accepts that this is true of the other simply because the client believes it. Needless to say, this belief is disputable in much the same way as other-to-self evaluations are disputable.

In other words, the client’s believing something is the case doesn’t make it the case. The other person doesn’t become bad just because the client believes or states this. Self-to-it evaluations. The logic of disputes of self-to-it evaluations is the same as that for other-to-self and self-to-other evaluations. For example, if a client evaluates ‘modern’ life as bad compared to the ‘old times’ this should not be viewed as an objective feature about ‘modern’ life but as a subjective evaluation of the client’s. Question 3: Is a part or the whole of the person being evaluated?
