Gambling is an example of maladaptive behavior. Gambling is not a problem if a person bets small amounts for entertainment and maintaining self control. However, compulsive gambling is a sign of psychopathology.
First of all there are three components to a maladaptive thought; internal, stable, and global.
An example would be this: if you got fired from a job, these would be maladaptive thoughts..
internal - this is all my fault
stable - I was born a failure
global - I will probably never keep a job
Cognitive therapists generally think that behaviors and emotions that cause problems are caused by maladaptive thoughts. This literally means that your thoughts are not helpful to you. An example of this is a person that thinks they are worthless. Even though it is probably not true, they automatically think it and it can cause depression. Treatments are based on identifying these maladaptive thoughts, realizing that they are automatic, and challenging them.
Patients are asked to keep a detailed diary recounting their thoughts, feelings, and actions when specific situations arise. The journal helps to make the patient aware of his or her maladaptive thoughts and to show their consequences
cognitive therapy assumes that maladaptive behaviors and disturbed mood or emotions are the result of inappropriate or irrational thinking patterns, called automatic thoughts.
