The aim of cognitive behavioral therapy is not to treat an individual with a specific illness, but to look at the person and determine what can be improved. There are various protocols for providing cognitive behavioral therapy, with significant similarities between these. Use of the word CBT may apply to multiple treatments, including' self-instruction (e.g., diversion, imagining, positive self-talk), calming or biofeedback, creation of adaptive coping methods (e.g., avoiding unpleasant or self-defeating thoughts), modifying maladaptive attitudes regarding discomfort, and setting goals.' Treatment sometimes is manualized, with unique technique-driven, simple, precise, and time-limited interventions for a particular psychological disorder. CBT is used in individual as well as social environments, and the methods are often tailored for self-help. Many physicians and scholars are cognitively focused (for example, cognitive restructuring). Still, others are more behaviorally responsive (for example, in vivo exposure therapy). Interventions like imaginary exposure therapy combine these two approaches. In this book you’ll learn:
