ABSTRACT

The Purpose of this study is to suggest a Christian Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by investigating catastrophic thought process in the process of counseling a panic attack client. To achieve this purpose, the study employs a single case qualitative study and explains how catastrophic thought process changes in the client’s cognitive process in Christian perspective. First, it explains that panic attach is the result of catastrophic thoughts, and introduce Barlow & Craske’s Panic Control Programs. Then, it provides the necessity of Christian intervention, and investigates how Christian CBT works by using a single case study. Based on Powlison’s tree model and Kim’s Biblical cognitive approach, the study analyses the five areas of motives, thought, emotion, response, and fruits of life. It concludes that real change comes by changing motive through relationship with Christ, which can effectively done through systematic analysis of other four areas of person. To answer these questions, the study investigates cognitive process of the client following Clark’s cognitive model, and then evaluates cognitive process, motives in Christian perspective. Biblical changes in the client includes “cutting catastrophic thought”, “finding discrepancy in personal faith”, “increasing objective view on faith”, “finding motives of catastrophic thought”, “refuting using God’s words”, “cognitive restructuring of catastrophic thoughts”.
