  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless
    Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Boundless Cognitive Therapy Cognitive therapy seeks to help a client overcome difficulties by identifying and changing dysfunctional thought patterns. 1. fig. 1 shows a group cognitive therapy session Clinicians use therapy sessions to help clients address and change their negative cognitive biases. Cognitive therapy (CT) is one of the therapeutic approaches within the larger group of cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) and was first expounded by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s. Cognitive-based therapies have gained increasing use in the past several decades, beginning with the cognitive revolution in 1956. CT is a psychotherapy quite distinct from other mainstream forms such as psychoanalytic or behavioral psychotherapy: rather than focusing on motivations or instincts, it is based on an information-processing model of human behavior and psychopathology. Cognitive distortions, or exaggerated and irrational thoughts, were believed to perpetuate psychological disorders. The process of learning to refute these distortions is called cognitive restructuring. Cognitive therapy may consist of testing a client's assumptions and identifying how client's unquestioned thoughts are distorted, unrealistic and unhelpful. Once these thoughts have been challenged, the client's feelings about the subject matter of those thoughts can be more readily changed. Cognition: Any element of knowledge including attitude, emotion, belief, or behavior.

In a leading apparel company’s labour turnover among machine operators falls between 10% - 12%, which showed that employee turnover is one of the major problems. The general objective of the study was to identify the impact of counselling during the exit interviews on employee retention. Specific objectives were to construct a conceptual framework to study the impact of exit to the organization, to identify the exit interview process of the organization and to provide recommendations to reduce turnover in Machine Operator (MO) level. This study is mainly qualitative in nature. Sample size was 20 machine operators who have decided to resign between April to May in the 2016. Convenience sampling was used and in depth semi-structured interviews were conducted. After the interviews, four machine operators left the establishment. Therapies used during the exit interviews and for employees who retained after the counselling sessions were, behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential-humanistic therapy, existential-humanistic therapy with behavioral therapy, psychoanalysis therapy with behavioral therapy, and psychoanalysis therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy.
