A Look at Human Behavior: Cognitive-Behavioral Frame of Reference

Human behavior can be perceived from an infinite point of view; everyone has their own thematic philosophy. When occupational therapists are asked this question, they often rely on theory and reference frames to find the answer. The reference framework is "a series of internally consistent, relevant concepts, assumptions, and principles that can be used to guide practice" (Bruce & Borg, 2007). These reference frames provide different philosophical choices for leading treatment of occupational therapist models.

Human behavior can be explained by various biological factors, psychosocial factors, and environmental factors that interact with people over time. Values, beliefs, and goals that determine participation behavior are derived from the unique cognitive processes of each individual through interactions between pre-learning and the above factors. Together, the human work and cognitive behavior therapy model explain this view of human behavior. These reference frames are reviewed based on their behavioral concepts, dysfunctions, treatments and relevance to occupational therapy.

Solve it. The use of cognition in cognitive behavioral therapy differs from the importance of the role of the environment in providing behavioral models, the in-depth study of irrational beliefs, and the individual thinking process in building the vision of the world surrounding them. In any case, it is important to study the content of individual thoughts and behaviors in treatment and to understand the importance of past events that lead to this pattern of thinking and behavior. Cognitive Behavior Therapy aims to change recognition of errors and replace them with ideas or self expression that promote adaptive behavior (Beck et al., 1979). For example, cognitive-behavior therapy tries to replace self-loser's expectation with positive expectation ("I can not do anything") ("I can do right").

The treatment subsystem of MOHO is compared with the cognitive concept described in the cognitive behavior framework. Through this comparison, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) provides an explanation on the acquisition and structure of the will system. The main theorists of CBT believe that cognitive structures such as beliefs, ideas, problem solving styles, coping styles, and environments are determinants of behavior (Johnston, 1987). The above structure is represented by a pattern generated by social, environmental and genetic influences changing over time. Patterns are defined as global cognitive processes related to past experiences (Bootzin, 1988). Patterns may be affected by positive and negative experiences such as culture, family composition, social role. Another hypothesis of CBT is that people can lead their lives through their ideas.
