An example of changing the beliefs of one person regarding another....
The wife frequently says to her husband, "You never help out around the house." The husband knows this isn't true. He often helps with the dishes, homework, and chores. To change his wife's belief about him, he engages in a concetrated effort to do the dishes every single night, to sweep and mop the floors, and clean the bathrooms. After 3 months of doing this, his wife begins to say things like, "You're super husband." At the end of the 3 months, the husband tapers off his efforts returning to doing the dishes and chores on occasion. Although the wife occasionally says, "you used to do the dishes every night" she no longer says or believes that he never helps out.
