Previously I asked, "Where do the default CBT disputations come from?" Perhaps the answer comes from seeing how CBT would help someone with Asperger's Syndrome. Aspies often lock onto an idea and inflexibly shut out all contrary thoughts. So for example, the disputation techniques of Black & White, Over-Generalization, Filtering, Disqualifying Positive, Jump to Conclusion, and Magnification all remedy a mind that has zoomed in on a negative thought, blocking anything that may contradict it.
