ABSTRACT
Eugene indicated that exposure to threat and bearing discomfort while doing this helped him with a problem earlier in his life. Eugene selected his paternal grandfather as someone who might be influential in the SSI-CBT process and pointed to a helpful saying that he associated with his grandfather, namely: ‘What is very bad now will not seem so bad in the morning.’ The more the people can utilise their client’s learning, the more likely it is that they will benefit from SSI-CBT, assuming that they relate to the ideas the people have helped them develop. CBT is classified correctly as a talking therapy, and as such there is a lot of verbal communication between client and therapist. However, to enhance the impact of SSI-CBT, it is useful sometimes to present visual representations of verbal concepts, especially for those clients whose learning is enhanced by the visual medium. The use of humour in therapy has attracted various viewpoints amongst practitioners.
