Abstract
Psychology is in the midst of a “second cognitive revolution,” characterized by a shift from serial to parallel processing models, a shift from concepts of memory stores to memory systems, a distinction between implicit and explicit processes, a growing awareness of the role of emotion and motivation in everyday thought and memory, and a shift in metaphor from mind as computer to mind as brain. These changes are likely to have a broad impact on the way cognitive-behavioral therapy is conceptualized and practiced. In doing so, it is important to distinguish the implicit/explicit distinction from others that are related but not identical, such as procedural/declarative, irrational/rational, and emotional/cognitive. New developments in cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience suggest the importance for cognitive-behavioral therapy of developing methods of eliciting and altering implicit as well as explicit networks, such as directed free association, in which the therapist elicits associations to emotion-laden material.
