What is Cognitive Behavioral
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most commonly used types of psychotherapy today and is a short-term, problem-focused approach. Developed by Aaron Beck in the 1960s, Cognitive Therapy aims to explain how thoughts influence mental disorders. In this context, Beck was the first person to develop theories and methods for cognitive and behavioral interventions in emotional disorders.
