Beck, Aaron

Aaron Beck is a renowned psychiatrist and psychologist known for developing cognitive therapy, a widely used form of psychotherapy. His approach is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By identifying and changing negative or distorted thought patterns, individuals can improve emotional well-being and address mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Beck’s work emphasizes the importance of a structured, collaborative approach between therapist and patient to challenge unhelpful beliefs and promote healthier thinking, leading to better emotional resilience and functioning.
