Socratic dialogue is one of the most widely used forms of Guided Discovery in CBT.

Learn how to guide the client's discovery instead of trying to change the client's mind.

Padesky demonstrates the four stages of Socratic dialogue with three clients, each experiencing a different mood. Her use of the Socratic process helps them uncover cognitions characteristic of each mood state and re-evaluate key automatic thoughts.

Four Stages of Socratic Dialogue
Stage 1: informational questions
Stage 2: empathic listening
Stage 3: summaries
Stage 4: analytic / synthesizing question

Learning these four stages helps therapists use Socratic dialogue more effectively.

Padesky demonstrates this process with three different clients and moods:
- Depressed "Sharon"
- Anxious "Jean"
- Angry "Carl"
