What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Children and Adolescents aims to restructure the child’s or adolescent’s thinking about themselves, others and the future. The restructuring strategy is to provide them with the necessary experience and new cognitive and behavioral abilities to change their cognitive structures, cognitive processes, thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

CBT is used effectively in the treatment of many psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder in children and young people and is a proven treatment school in these disorders.

If we look at the basic principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy;

  • It is based on a cognitive behavioral interpretation of the client’s ongoing problems.
  • The client’s cooperation is important. The client is included in the process at every stage of therapy.
  • Sessions are structured and the duration of therapy is limited.
  • Problem and solution oriented.
  • Focuses on the present
  • It is an educational model. The client learns to become their own therapist, identifying, inferring and responding to their automatic thoughts.
  • Various techniques are used to change thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
