ABSTRACT
CBT is a form of psychotherapy developed by Aaron ‘Tim’ Beck in the 1960s. In his seminal book Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders, Beck states that psychological problems may result from commonplace processes such as:1
or incorrect information; ● not distinguishing adequately between imagination and
reality; ● thought processes occurring as a result of erroneous
premises; ● behaviours that are self-defeating because they are
based on unreasonable attitudes.
