Cognitive–Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Description:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy that is hugely
followed while dealing with issues related to identifying and changing negative
thought processes and maladaptive behaviors. It is guided by the cognitive model,
which suggests that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, and by changing
negative thoughts and maladaptive behaviors, there can be an improvement in
emotional regulation and mental health. CBT, by nature, is structured, time-limited,

in the therapeutic framework.

reducing symptoms of depression. This way, participation in positive activities can be
encouraged by using behavioral activation, thereby reducing avoidance behaviors
that link with anxiety and depression. Moreover, common problems like peer
pressure, academic pressure, and family problems can be discussed during the
group treatment and CBT techniques can be involved in working with such kinds of
issues. The staff can also be trained with regards to CBT techniques so that the
