What are the three types of psychoeducation in CBT?

• B. Medication education, lifestyle education, crisis education.
• C. Online modules, group sessions, self-help books.
• D. Parent training, teacher training, community education.

Answer: (A)

In CBT, psychoeducation is about informing clients and their support systems so they understand the framework, the symptoms, and the skills used in treatment, including how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are linked and how relapse can be prevented. The three common formats are individualized psychoeducation, group psychoeducation, and family or couple psychoeducation. Individual psychoeducation allows the information to be tailored to the person’s unique history and goals, group psychoeducation offers reassurance and practical strategies learned from peers, and family/couple psychoeducation involves significant others to help modify interactions, support the client, and reinforce skills in daily life. The other options describe different topics or delivery methods rather than the primary formats used for psychoeducation within CBT.
