Chapter 1: What is CBT

The measure of intelligence is given by the ability to change when necessary (Albert Einstein)

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that is only done for a short period of time and employs a more hands-on approach to problem-solving. The purpose of CBT is to change a person’s behavior or cognitive patterns that are the source of their problems, hence changing how they feel.

CBT can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, such as sleeping problems or anxiety, relationship problems, depression, or alcohol and drug dependence.

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by altering people’s cognitive processes, causing them to focus on pictures, thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs, and examining how everything is related to how the person acts, addressing emotional problems by improving their behavior.

One of the primary benefits of adopting CBT is that it is frequently brief, with most emotional disorders being resolved in five to ten months. Clients will frequently attend one session per week that lasts less than an hour. During their meetings, the patient and their therapist will collaborate to identify their concerns and devise solutions to these challenges. CBT teaches patients new strategies to deal with difficulties that they can use whenever they need to, and it stays with them for life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy can be thought of as a blend of behavioral therapy and psychotherapy. Psychotherapy examines how significant something is to the patient and how most of their thinking habits derive from how they were treated as children. This sort of behavioral therapy examines people’s relationships with their problems, thoughts, and behavior. The majority of cognitive behavioral therapists will tailor and customize their treatment to the personality and needs of each of their patients.

The Origins of CBT

During the 1960s, Aaron Beck and a doctor developed cognitive behavioral therapy. During this period, he concentrated on psychoanalysis and discovered that during his analytical sessions, his clients frequently had an internal dialogue, almost as if they were conversing with themselves. However, they only agreed to split a portion of this with him.

Consider this scenario: during one therapy session, the patient may say to himself, The therapist hasn’t said much. I wonder if he’s mad at me." These kinds of ideas have the ability to make the patient uneasy or irritated. He would go on to say:

He’s probably tired, or maybe I haven’t talked about what’s important, I reasoned. This second idea may
