Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
Introduction
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a method used in order to assist clients’ ability to restructure ones self-talk and ultimately modify their behavior (Corey, 2013). Throughout the process of CBT, various methods including operant conditioning, modeling, and behavior rehearsal are incorporated to modify self-talk and thinking processes (Corey, 2013). A common method of CBT is rational emotive behavior therapy. REBT is based upon the theory that when people hold strong views surrounding events or situations in their life, we essentially cause our own psychological problems. REBT also believes that these underlying feelings contribute to our behaviors, essentially resulting in a cause and effect relationship (Ellis, 2001a,
