Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive Therapy (CT) is a relatively short-term therapy for a wide range of psychological problems, including depression, panic, phobias, posttraumatic stress disorder, anger, relationship difficulties, sexual dysfunction and substance abuse and dependence. Numerous studies have confirmed the efficacy of CT in work with these disorders.
The focus of CT is on how we think and behave. For example, someone who is depressed may think, "I am a total failure" and "The future is hopeless". These negative thoughts are likely to maintain the depression, so a Cognitive Therapist would work to change them into more rational thoughts such as "I may have had a few failures but everyone has failures. That doesn't mean I'm a complete failure as a person".
