(Beck, 2011). A practitioner administering CBT helps clients \u201cidentify, evaluate, and respond to their dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs (Beck, 2011, 10).\u201d Pocket CBT can be utilized to teach individuals to identify dysfunctional cognitions and behaviors as well as incorporate learned skills to address problematic thoughts and behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>Pocket CBT has two main steps. In step one, the user creates a thought record, breaking the problem down into physiological sensations, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors associated with a given situation. In step two, the user challenges that thought by: 1) finding their thinking style, 2) de-centering (removing it), 3) challenging the thought, and 4) reflecting.<\/p>\n<p>Thought Records<\/p>\n<p>The user\u2019s home screen keeps record of all of the user\u2019s past thought records. When starting a new thought record, the user is prompted to describe the situation. Next, the user is asked to label the most upsetting thought, what that thought meant to them, and rate how intensely they believed this thought was true. Then, the user is asked to identify and rate the strongest physiological sensations and emotions associated with the thought. Finally, the user identifies how they reacted in response to their thoughts and emotions and how that behavior made them feel.<\/p>\n<p>After every component is complete, the user is provided with a one paragraph summary of the thought record and a diagram, which includes the situation, thoughts, physiological sensations, emotions, and behaviors. The diagram is based on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pocketcbt.com\/downloads\/Cross%20sectional%20formulation.pdf\">Padesky\u2019s Cross-Sectional Formulation<\/a> and can be shared with a practitioner via email.<\/p>\n<p>Challenging the Thought<\/p>\n<p>If the user chooses to challenge the thought in step two, he or she is reminded of the most upsetting thought (\u201chot thought\u201d) in the thought record and the intensity of the thought. Next, the user is asked to choose the style of thinking that was present in the situation. The app provides a definition for each style of thought.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the user is prompted to describe the effects of the style of thought on the event and how the event might have been different if this style was not utilized. The user can chose to challenge their thought again, selecting another relevant style of thought. The user\u2019s thought challenges are stored in their home screen but are not sharable via email.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Practice Implications: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cHomework is an in integral, not an optional part of cognitive behavioral therapy (Beck, 2011, 294).\u201d \u201cHomework, properly assigned and completed, speeds progress and allows patients to practice the techniques of therapy which they will need when therapy is over (Beck, 2011, 315).\u201d Pocket CBT could be an appropriate assignment for many clients. A practitioner could use pocket CBT to educate clients on the principles of CBT or could use a shared thought record diagram to administer CBT. Pocket CBT may also serve as a tool that clients use after therapy concludes as they seek to maintain their CBT skills.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Privacy Policy Disclaimer: <\/strong>Unable to locate information on privacy policy.<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Device used for this review:<\/strong> IPad<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Works Cited:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Beck, J.
