What is CBT - ANSWER Cognitive therapy is a widely used form of psychotherapy that
focuses on changing dysfunctional cognitions (thoughts), emotions and behavior.

Key Figures - ANSWER Aaron Beck, Donald Meichenbaum, Albert Ellis, Leon
Festinger, George Kelly, Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, Bill O'Hanlon

Theory - ANSWER Maladaptive behavior is associated with patterns of thinking and
response that do not result in mentally healthy outcomes. The focus of therapy is on the
present rather than the past. The central premise is that behavior is maintained by its
consequences:
• Consequences that accelerate behavior are called reinforcers
• Consequences that decelerate behavior are called punishers

Treatment - ANSWER The goal of cognitive-behavioral therapy is to change or
substitute these patterns with more realistic and useful thoughts and responses.

Relevance - ANSWER It is used to treat Depression, anxiety disorders, phobias and
other forms of mental disorders. Medication is often used in conjunction with this
approach to treat mood disorders and more severe forms of mental disorders.

Cognitive Therapy is based on? - ANSWER Cognitive therapy is based on the theory
that individuals with depression, anxiety and other emotional disorders have
maladaptive patterns of information processing and behavioral-related difficulties.

Primary Target - ANSWER The identification of negative or distorted automatic
thoughts.

What are automatic thoughts - ANSWER The relatively autonomous thoughts that occur
rapidly while an individual is in the midst of a particular situation or is recalling significant
events from the past.
Automatic thoughts are frequently based on faulty logic or errors in reasoning. Cognitive
therapy is directed, in part, at helping patients recognize and change these cognitive
errors (sometimes called cognitive distortions).

Negative automatic thoughts - ANSWER Negative automatic thoughts can be
associated with behaviors (e.g., helplessness, withdrawal or avoidance) that make the
problem worse. In depression or anxiety disorders, there is often a "vicious cycle" of
dysfunctional cognitions, emotions and behaviors.
