Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Definition
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented psychotherapy approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that influence their emotions and actions.
Background
CBT was developed in the 1960s by Dr. Aaron T. Beck and has since become one of the most widely practiced and researched therapeutic approaches. It combines cognitive therapy (examining thoughts) with behavioral therapy (examining actions) to create a comprehensive treatment method.
Importance
CBT is particularly effective for treating anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, and various other mental health conditions. Its structured approach provides clients with practical skills they can apply in their daily lives, leading to lasting positive change.
