CBT was first developed in the 1960s, there have since been two key therapies based on CBT, these are, rational-emotive behaviour therapy (REBT, by Albert Ellis) and Aaron Beck’s cognitive therapy for depression.
The aim of CBT is to identify the patient’s negative and irrational thoughts so they can be replaced with more positive rational ways of thinking. The therapy includes behavioural and cognitive elements with homework between sessions.
