Practice of Cognitive Restructuring Resources:
We invite you to participate as a researcher for finding and adding resources on transformational change. This is a dynamic tool for you to add titles you find in your HS 301 individual group's wikis as you do research for class projects (click on the "Sidebar" located on the right in the "View" mode--select the appropriate class wiki.) We encourage you to share not only titles (for example, the citation of a journal article, a book, a blog, or title of a digital media stream), but also the places you found the resources in and search strategies you found useful, as we have in the links below. Students will post to the topics on the Sidebar to the right.

Forgiveness, Cognitive Restructuring and Object Transformation.By: Cioni, P. F.. Journal of Religion & Health, Sep2007, Vol. 46 Issue 3, p385-397, 13p; DOI: 10.1007/s10943-006-9093-y; (AN 26284424)
Abstract: Forgiveness is described as a process that includes (1) re-constructing cognitions about the offender and self and (2) re-imaging the offender and re-experiencing self and violator. Object relations theory can help to show that the violated individual’s conflict is within as the person struggles inwardly with hostile images (object-representations) during the process of forgiveness. Cognitiverestructuring points to the crucial importance of choice to help initiate the forgiveness process. Within the context of forgiveness as a therapeutic process, cognitive restructuring and object transformation can promote the client’s psychological health and well-being. It is proposed that forgiveness is a spiritual as well as a psychological process, which includes grace-filled choices and behavior.

Restructuringimplicational meaning through memory-based imagery: Some historical notes
By: Edwards, D.Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry Volume 38, Issue 4, December 2007, Pages 306-316
This paper provides a historical perspective on the recent increase in the clinical application of imagery techniques to restructure systems of implicational meaning that drive emotional distress or self-defeating behaviors. Janet's early application of such techniques was largely ignored except by a few hypnotherapists. Current applications in cognitive therapy were adapted and extended in the early 1980s from Perls’ Gestalt therapy methods. Some precursors to Perls are examined, as well as the work of some of those who developed and formulated the integration of his techniques into Beck's cognitive therapy. It is argued that this process amounted to a significant paradigm shift.
