Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) focuses on identifying and changing irrational beliefs and cognitions that lead to negative emotional experiences. This technique would be effective for Latanya's tendency to magnify negative events and minimize positive ones. Group therapy and virtual therapy may also be helpful, but they do not specifically address Latanya's cognitive distortions. Bilateral anterior cingulotomy is a neurosurgical procedure that is not typically used for addressing cognitive distortions in this manner.
