The basic study of stress inoculation training testimony was held by
Meichenbaum (1975). In this study, their aim was to investigate how effect his
own 1972 stress inoculation therapy (SIT) was.
Stress inoculation training is a form of
cognitive behavioral therapy developed by Meichenbaum (1972).
Stress
inoculation training is a form of cognitive restructuring as it is a method of
changing an individual’s thinking patterns about themselves and their lives.
The aim is to change their emotional responses and their behavior ideally
before the individual becomes very anxious or depressed as a result of stress.
Developed by Meichenbaum in the 1960s it is a three stages procedure carried
out with the help of a therapist. It is based on the assumption that people
experience stress because they interpret an event or situation in
catastrophising ways and their internal dialogue (their thoughts) are
negative.
