Foundations of Cognitive Therapy

Abstract

One of the latest developments in the area of psychological therapies concerns the increasing significance which “cognitive therapy” is gaining in both theoretical discussions and in practice. At the present time, one can identify numerous therapeutic approaches which are given this designation but which are quite distinctive in their foundations and procedures. Examples include Frankl’s “logotherapy” and Ellis’s “rational-emotive therapy,” which have been known for a long time, and also more recent techniques that lend a strong “cognitive” flavor to behavior therapy and behavior modification.
