Cognitive-behavioral therapy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Cognitive behavioral therapy)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy which is used to help people change thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are causing them problems.[1] CBT refers to many types of psychotherapeutic systems that deal with cognitions, interpretations, beliefs and responses. It is used to try to change problem-causing emotions and behaviors.[2]
It can be used to treat mood disorders (like depression), personality disorders (like borderline personality disorder), posttraumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias and drug addiction. CBT can take place one-on-one between a therapist and a client, during group therapy, or online.
