Cognitive behavioral therapy

Type of therapy to improve mental health

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that combines basic principles from cognitive psychology and behaviorism. It aims to reduce symptoms of various mental health conditions by challenging and adjusting convictions and assumptions, while helping patients learn better-adapted behavior by trying and training new behaviours. While CBT has philosophical precursors in Stoicism, it developed in three waves in the 20th century.
