Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Abstract: A 4 page research paper that examines Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which is considered by many experts to be the preferred form of therapy for many psychological and personality problems (Bush, 2002). CBT is a form of therapy that is primarily oriented toward problem solving and based on systematic and thorough gathering of information relative to the causes of psychological or emotional stress (Aubrey and Bond, 1997). Rather than extensive psychoanalysis that searches out the root problems regarding why someone developed an addictive personality, CBT primarily focuses on changing the negative behavior that is destroying the client's quality of life. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
