ABSTRACT
Clients' key core beliefs have identified schema education, it is important for the client to start developing new and adaptive core beliefs. Mooney and Padesky advice that these new beliefs stated in the client's own words, they do not have the thematic opposite of the old core belief, and focus of clinical attention is on constructing and strengthening new beliefs than modifying old maladaptive beliefs. Some therapists might believe that subjecting a dysfunctional core belief to clinical scrutiny naturally undermines it and the client free of its disturbance-producing. However, as DiGiuseppe points out, challenging dysfunctional beliefs is not enough to change them: People often hold on to beliefs that they know logically flawed and do not lead to accurate predictions of reality, but no alternative ideas are available to replace the flawed idea. Padesky suggests that producing contradictory evidence quickly reactivate the client's positive belief and his low mood within a few sessions of therapy.
