COGNITIVE THERAPY |
The Cognitive behavioral therepy - CBT is
widely used for treating depression, anxiety disorders, phobias and
other psychic disorders. The therapy is proved to be highly
effective for treating the alcoholism and drug addiction as a part
of recovery plan. This therepy is based on the idea that feelings
and behaviors are generated by the person’s thoughts and not because
of the surrounding situation of events. This therapy is believed to
help patients reform their negative approach of thinking and
behaving mostly accompanied by depression.
The therepy gradually trains the patient to change his thinking
about self behavior and feelings. It is a type of psychotherapy
exclusively developed by psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck sometimes during
1960s. Cognitive behavioral therepy is the short-term, focused
therapeutic attempt for helping the drug-dependent people becoming
sober by using the same learning process that the person used for
adopting alcohol and drug dependence in the beginning.

therapeutics, there are different sub-categories of Cognitive
Behavioral Therapies that may usually include: Talking Therepy which
helps patient achieving imminence into and resolve their problems
through verbal exchange with their therapists. Behavioral Therapy

through their own actions and behavioral reformations. Short-term
Psychotherapy is helpful for some specific types of depressions
conducted by the professional therapeutics. Interpersonal Therapy is
designed to target on the patient’s disturbed personal relationship
