“…The cognitive therapist attempts to alter cognitive distortions in order to effect a cKange in behavior. The belief is that therapy should aim at reducing the frequency of the cognitions that elicit the undesirable behaviors (Hulbert & Sipprelle, 1978). The focus is on the cognitive self-statements the client makes, and faulty self-statements are viewed as a result of a faulty belief system and thinking pattern (Meichenbaum, 1975).…”

The literature indicates systematic attempts have been madc to combine the approach of cognitive therapy with behavior therapy. The following paper reflects that much research has been done in this area showing great promise. Certainly the cognitive variable is significant in the treatment of human behavior, yet it can not be considered in isolation of other dimensions of behavior. Significant contributions have been made in the treatment of dcpression, phobias, anxiety, and panic attacks. Treatment elements have been applied to a diverse range of conditions, yet practice research has not documented statistical evidence of the effectiveness of the results.Further study needs to isolate the aspect of treatment that is producing the outcome. Greater attcntion needs to be given to the generalization and maintenance of treatment. Certainly the inclusion of cognitive variables in the assessment of human behavior enables comprehensive treatment of the individual. The authors indicate that further clinical research is needed to isolate specific predictors for

“…It thus provides methodological continuity with the previous research and is more easily generalizable to therapy. Our thought-recording procedure can be viewed as a variation on the thought-sampling procedure used by Hurlbert and Sipprelle (1978), sharing with it the "on-the-spot timeliness" of the data it produces. At the same time, it avoids some of the potential weaknesses that Kendall and Hollon (1981) have noted with respect to electronically cued random sampling.…”

“…A substantial number of reports observe that sampling is reactive in the sense that participants frequently find participation in sampling studies therapeutic (Hurlburt & Sipprelle, 1978;Filstead, 1988;Figurski, 1992;Dormer, 1992;Hurlburt, 1993). Fran's remarkable remission (described above) may have been due in part to the process of describing the details of her unpleasant inner experiences (Hurlburt, 1993).…”

Thought sampling, the experience sampling method (ESM), and descriptive experience sampling are 3 methods of randomly sampling thinking in participants' natural environments. All use beepers that signal participants to report aspects of their experience and behavior at random intervals. Thought sampling and ESM are quantitative methods, and standard validation studies have demonstrated them to be reliable and valid. They provide insights into human experience and behavior that are difficult or impossible to attain by nonsampling methods. Descriptive experience sampling is a nonquantitative method that provides provocative descriptions of phenomena such as "unsymbolized thinking" -thoughts that occur in awareness without words, images, or any other kind of symbols-and perception that has no figure-ground phenomena.
