Simulating the computational mechanisms of cognitive and behavioral psychotherapeutic interventions: insights from active inference
Overview
This paper presents a computational active inference model to simulate interactions between cognitive restructuring and exposure in CBT, using spider phobia as an example. It is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in the mechanistic underpinnings of therapy rather than direct clinical application. The authors use simulations to propose that weakening the link between conscious beliefs and affective outcomes may facilitate generalized learning and reduce relapse rates.
