After reviewing the video training from Dr. Dawn Elise Snipes on What are Cognitive Distortions and the use of CBT, please write a discussion board post on the behavioral criteria the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) will use from your psychiatric intake assessment, to confirm a diagnosis, the development of a diagnosis and or a differential diagnosis for medication management and referral to a CBT focused psychotherapist. Areas to focus:
-Define thinking errors,
-Explore the different types of thinking errors, cognitive distortion, irrational thought,
-Evaluate how thinking errors can play into our basic fears: rejection, isolation, loss of control, failure and the unknown.
-Identify ways: increase awareness of thinking errors, address thinking errors and address basic fears
Your post should be at least 550 words and include three references
