Validity of Cognition

The validity of cognition scale is used to measure the clients sense of truthfulness regarding various self beliefs they have.  They are guided and allowed to change over time to achieve the client’s goals of therapy.

The therapist may ask:
“When you think of the memory, how true do the words [repeat the self-belief] feel to you now on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 feel completely false, and 7 feels completely true?”
