Satisfactory Essays

In this Journal I will attempt to summarise Malcolm Payne’s view on Cogitative-behavioural practice, comparing and contrasting his work with that of others.
Cognitive behavioural practice (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that is used to focus on changing dysfunctional attitudes to more positive, productive, realistic ones. Cognitive behavioural therapy brings together the individual goals of cognitive therapy and behavioural therapy. CBT when used with clients will teach them how to identify and deal with their behaviours and thoughts in situations. This treatment is usually short term being used to treat many disorders including mental health, mood, personality, addictions and phobias.
