Abstract: Discusses limiting beliefs and ways to change them in therapy. The basic elements of a belief change process included at least some of the following: eliciting and installing appropriate, resourceful states in the client; a procedure for going back in memory with these new resources; an objective assessment of the new generalizations formed; consolidation and integration of the new beliefs; mental rehearsal of the future; and testing the new beliefs. A case illustration involving a woman in her 30s is presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved).
