Abstract:
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is evidence based practice used by mental health professionals across the world to help individuals suffering from depression, anxiety psychosis, relationship issues as well as physical health issues. Several randomised controlled studies have supportive evidence to indicate the efficiency of this model. The Model looks at understanding thoughts, emotions and behaviors and to modify irrational thoughts, unhelpful behaviors and regulating emotions. It is a structured problem solving method. Objective collaborative effort is important in the therapeutic relationship.
