FAT LOSS – BEHAVIOURAL INFLUENCES: CHANGING COGNITIVE PATTERNS

Following this, more sophisticated approaches have been developed incorporating cognitive behavioural techniques, more realistic goal setting, and a focus on dealing with relapses—by prevention as well as psychological refraining.

Cognitions, such as negative thinking patterns, can be more complex and much more difficult to deal with than simple behavioural habits. People can often give the appearance of smoothly gliding through life with very few complications, while underneath being deep in turmoil. There are a range of ways psychologists deal with this from psychoanalysis to group therapies. Many modem psychological practices, however, now recognise that it is thinking about what may happen as much as what actually has or is about to happen, that causes many pathologies, phobias and simple unconstructive behaviours. This is not new. Indeed, there are a range of historical quotations dating back to 500BC which suggest that this is the case. These provide a clue as to the appropriate means of dealing with major cognitive problems.
