Trauma Practice - Paperback

by Barbara McDonald (Author)

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), also known as cognitive behavioral therapy, is a common type of psychotherapy that aims to help people recognize and alter inaccurate or negative thought patterns. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), unlike many other traditional psychotherapies, does not try to figure out where a person's problem came from. CBT, on the other hand, focuses on how people's thinking patterns affect how they feel and act. People can learn to deal more realistically and effectively with the stresses and problems in their lives and improve their ability to control their emotions and behavior by altering these patterns. Because it takes fewer sessions to achieve positive results, CBT is often more effective than other types of psychotherapy for many people.
