1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): By Albert Ellis
This psychological theory of practice has become the leading treatment for anxiety and with good reason. It's main focus is on working with THINKING and ACTING, rather than feelings. The therapeutic processes also focus on the present experiences (Here and Now). Ellis says " BLAME" is the core of emotional disturbances and to recover from that neurosis, we need to stop blaming ourselves and instead learn to accept ourselves despite our imperfections.
Therapeutic Goal.
* Teaching and assisting clients how to change their dysfunctional emotions and behaviors into healthy ones.
