Early interventions in cognitive behavioral

Early interventions in cognitive behavioral

`Concerning the rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) strategy, the goal is to help in the identification of the self-defeating thoughts and feelings. It also involves identification of the challenges that result in the defeating feelings then replacing them with healthier and more productive thoughts, therefore, the task, in this case, is to identify the reminders or the triggering factors that make the patient not to forget his wife and then making him increase his interaction with friends and participating in other productive activities such as going for vacations, taking part in the physical exercise (MacLaren, Doyle, & DiGiuseppe, 2016).
