Cognitive Therapy and Research

Cognitive therapy is a form of psychological treatment focused on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviors. It helps individuals recognize distorted thinking, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop healthier perspectives. Research in this area studies how these mental processes work, the effectiveness of therapy techniques, and ways to improve mental health interventions. Together, cognitive therapy and research aim to understand how our thoughts affect our well-being and to develop evidence-based strategies for managing issues like anxiety and depression.
