What
is CBT - Cognitive Behavior Therapy ?
Cognitive Behavior Therapy, also called
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, is a form of psychological therapy. Over
recent years many research studies have shown CBT to be the most effective
treatment for many psychological problems. For this reason CBT is sometimes
referred to as "evidence-based psychology" or "evidence-based
practice", as in most cases the therapy techniques have been proven to be
effective by research evidence.
CBT addresses the emotions, behavior,
thoughts, and beliefs behind psychological difficulties. Unlike many counselling approaches, Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy focuses on teaching individuals practical techniques to
manage and overcome their psychological problems. Many different techniques are utilized
depending on the types of problems a person is experiencing. Some examples of these techniques include:
training in recognizing and challenging negative thoughts and beliefs,
desensitization techniques, relaxation therapy, training in problem-solving
approaches, etc.
