Summary
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an umbrella term, including several related theoretical models each with its own approach and techniques. This chapter will give an overview of the history of CBT, its underlying principles, therapeutic models, treatments and applications. It will also include a brief outline of dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT).
The fundamental tenet of CBT is that the way we think affects the way we feel and act. This deceptively simple statement has profound implications in practice. It means our distress could be modified by changing the way we think, or changing the way we respond to our thoughts.
