	Cognitive therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cognitive therapy or cognitive behaviour therapy is a kind of psychotherapy used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and other forms of mental disorder.
		Cognitive therapy is often used in conjunction with mood stabilizing medications to treat bipolar disorder.
		Cognitive Therapy and/or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy most closely ally with the Scientist-Practitioner Model of Clinical Psychology, in which clinical practice and research is informed by a scientific perspective; clear operationalization of the "problem" or "issue;" an emphasis on measurement (and measurable changes in cognition and behaviour); and measureable goal-attainment.

	Cognitive psychology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cognitive psychology is the psychological science that studies cognition, the mental processes that underlie behavior, including thinking, reasoning, decision making, and to some extent motivation and emotion.
		The term cognitive psychology came into use with the publication of the book Cognitive Psychology by Ulric Neisser in 1967, wherein Neisser provides a broad definition of cognitive psychology, emphasising that it is a point of view which postulates the mind as having a certain conceptual structure.
		Cognitive psychology is one of the more recent additions to psychological research, having only developed as a separate area within the discipline since the late 1950s and early 1960s (though there are examples of cognitive thinking from earlier researchers).

	Cognitive Therapy & CBT
		Cognitive therapy (or cognitive behavioural therapy) helps the client to uncover and alter distortions of thought or perceptions which may be causing or prolonging psychological distress.
		The task of cognitive therapy or CBT is partly to understand how the three components of emotions, behaviours and thoughts interrelate, and how they may be influenced by external stimuli -- including events which may have occurred early in the client's life.
		Cognitive therapy aims to help the client to become aware of thought distortions which are causing psychological distress, and of behavioural patterns which are reinforcing it, and to correct them.

	Cognitive Therapy
		Cognitive therapy as it is practiced today was developed by Aaron Beck in the 1970s, and was based on underlying theoretical assumption that a person's feelings and behavior are shaped by the way that he or she thinks about the world.
		It is a structured therapy in which there is an active collaboration between the patient and the therapist, usually on an individual basis (although it can be carried out in a group environment).
		Lastly, and the overall purpose of cognitive therapy, is for the patient to understand the inaccuracy of cognitive assumptions and to learn new ways of dealing with issues.
