70-470: Sadness is an emotional pain associated with, or characterized by, feelings of disadvantage, loss, despair , grief , helplessness, disappointment and sorrow . An individual experiencing sadness may become quiet or lethargic , and withdraw themselves from others. An example of severe sadness is depression , a mood which can be brought on by major depressive disorder or persistent depressive disorder . Crying can be an indication of sadness. Sadness

140-437: A 50% lower incidence rate in a patient group aged 75 or older. Another depression study found a neutral effect compared to personal, social, and health education, and usual school provision, and included a comment on potential for increased depression scores from people who have received CBT due to greater self recognition and acknowledgement of existing symptoms of depression and negative thinking styles. A further study also saw

210-464: A conservative or a liberal should respond) when making political decisions. Another function is to signal a need for assistance and elicit support from others. This may be done by following the group norms, being kinder to others, and expressing the need for help physically and verbally. As a result, the experience of sadness as a group may decrease emotional polarization and increase relationship building. People deal with sadness in different ways, and it

280-436: A constructive alternative. At the same time as Eysenck's work, B. F. Skinner and his associates were beginning to have an impact with their work on operant conditioning . Skinner's work was referred to as radical behaviorism and avoided anything related to cognition. However, Julian Rotter in 1954 and Albert Bandura in 1969 contributed to behavior therapy with their works on social learning theory by demonstrating

350-602: A greater longevity in therapeutic outcomes. In a study with anxiety, CBT and ACT improved similarly across all outcomes from pre- to post-treatment. However, during a 12-month follow-up, ACT proved to be more effective, showing that it is a highly viable lasting treatment model for anxiety disorders. Computerized CBT (CCBT) has been proven to be effective by randomized controlled and other trials in treating depression and anxiety disorders, including children. Some research has found similar effectiveness to an intervention of informational websites and weekly telephone calls. CCBT

420-434: A negative schema of the world in childhood and adolescence as an effect of stressful life events, and the negative schema is activated later in life when the person encounters similar situations. Beck also described a negative cognitive triad . The cognitive triad is made up of the depressed individual's negative evaluations of themselves, the world, and the future. Beck suggested that these negative evaluations derive from

490-517: A neutral result. A meta-study of the Coping with Depression course, a cognitive behavioral intervention delivered by a psychoeducational method, saw a 38% reduction in risk of major depression. Many studies show CBT, combined with pharmacotherapy, is effective in improving depressive symptoms, mania severity and psychosocial functioning with mild to moderate effects, and that it is better than medication alone. INSERM 's 2004 review found that CBT

560-475: A non-fearful reaction in feared situations. A combination of glucocorticoids and exposure therapy may be a better-improved treatment for treating people with anxiety disorders. For anxiety disorders, use of CBT with people at risk has significantly reduced the number of episodes of generalized anxiety disorder and other anxiety symptoms, and also given significant improvements in explanatory style, hopelessness, and dysfunctional attitudes. In another study, 3% of

630-414: A particular action. A basic concept in some CBT treatments used in anxiety disorders is in vivo exposure . CBT-exposure therapy refers to the direct confrontation of feared objects, activities, or situations by a patient. For example, a woman with PTSD who fears the location where she was assaulted may be assisted by her therapist in going to that location and directly confronting those fears. Likewise,

700-478: A person with a social anxiety disorder who fears public speaking may be instructed to directly confront those fears by giving a speech. This "two-factor" model is often credited to O. Hobart Mowrer . Through exposure to the stimulus, this harmful conditioning can be "unlearned" (referred to as extinction and habituation ). CBT for children with phobias is normally delivered over multiple sessions, but one-session treatment has been shown to be equally effective and

770-464: A person's pupils mirror another predicts a person's greater score on empathy . In disorders such as autism and psychopathy, facial expressions that represent sadness may be subtle, which may show a need for a more non-linguistic situation to affect their level of empathy. According to DIPR scientist Swati Johar, sadness is an emotion "identified by current speech dialogue and processing systems". Measurements to distinguish sadness from other emotions in

840-855: A range of other conditions. Although the excruciatingly painful inner experience of the borderline patient is both unique and perplexing, it is often linked to severe childhood trauma of abuse and neglect. In clinical populations, the rate of suicide of patients with borderline personality disorder is estimated to be 10%, a rate far greater than that in the general population and still considerably greater than for patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder , though studies on suicidality in bipolar subjects have found that 4-19% of bipolar patients (mostly untreated) commit suicide. However, 60–70% of patients with borderline personality disorder make suicide attempts, so suicide attempts are far more frequent than completed suicides in patients with BPD. The intense dysphoric states which patients diagnosed with BPD endure on

910-432: A regular basis distinguishes them from those with other personality disorders: major depressive disorder , bipolar disorder , and virtually all known DSM-IV Axis I and Axis II conditions. In a 1998 study entitled "The Pain of Being Borderline: Dysphoric States Specific to Borderline Personality Disorder", 146 diagnosed borderline patients took a 50-item self-report measure test. The conclusions from this study suggest "that

980-497: A variety of childhood disorders, including depressive disorders and various anxiety disorders. CBT has shown to be the most effective intervention for people exposed to adverse childhood experiences in the form of abuse or neglect. Criticism of CBT sometimes focuses on implementations (such as the UK IAPT ) which may result initially in low quality therapy being offered by poorly trained practitioners. However, evidence supports

1050-421: Is a common form of talk therapy based on the combination of the basic principles from behavioral and cognitive psychology . It is different from other approaches to psychotherapy , such as the psychoanalytic approach, where the therapist looks for the unconscious meaning behind the behaviors and then formulates a diagnosis. Instead, CBT is a "problem-focused" and "action-oriented" form of therapy, meaning it

1120-574: Is also effective as part of treatment plans in the adjustment, depression, and anxiety associated with fibromyalgia , and as part of the treatment after spinal cord injuries . In children or adolescents, CBT is an effective part of treatment plans for anxiety disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, depression and suicidality , eating disorders and obesity , obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), tic disorders , trichotillomania , and other repetitive behavior disorders. CBT has also been used to help improve

1190-885: Is also evidence that using CBT to treat children and adolescents with anxiety disorders was probably more effective (short term) than wait list or no treatment and more effective than attention control treatment approaches. Results from a 2018 systematic review found a high strength of evidence that CBT-exposure therapy can reduce PTSD symptoms and lead to the loss of a PTSD diagnosis. CBT has also been shown to be effective for post-traumatic stress disorder in very young children (3 to 6 years of age). A Cochrane review found low quality evidence that CBT may be more effective than other psychotherapies in reducing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder in children and adolescents. A systematic review of CBT in depression and anxiety disorders concluded that "CBT delivered in primary care, especially including computer- or Internet-based self-help programs,

1260-605: Is an effective therapy for several mental disorders, including bipolar disorder. This included schizophrenia, depression , bipolar disorder , panic disorder , post-traumatic stress , anxiety disorders, bulimia , anorexia , personality disorders and alcohol dependency . In long-term psychoses , CBT is used to complement medication and is adapted to meet individual needs. Interventions particularly related to these conditions include exploring reality testing, changing delusions and hallucinations, examining factors which precipitate relapse, and managing relapses. Meta-analyses confirm

1330-475: Is an important emotion because it helps to motivate people to deal with their situation. Some coping mechanisms include: getting social support and/or spending time with a pet, creating a list, or engaging in some activity to express sadness. Some individuals, when feeling sad, may exclude themselves from a social setting, so as to take the time to recover from the feeling. While being one of the moods people most want to shake, sadness can sometimes be perpetuated by

1400-470: Is biased towards negative interpretations. Beck's theory rests on the aspect of cognitive behavioral therapy known as schemata . Schemata are the mental maps used to integrate new information into memories and to organize existing information in the mind. An example of a schema would be a person hearing the word "dog" and picturing different versions of the animal that they have grouped together in their mind. According to this theory, depressed people acquire

1470-464: Is cheaper. CBT-SP, an adaptation of CBT for suicide prevention (SP), was specifically designed for treating youths who are severely depressed and who have recently attempted suicide within the past 90 days, and was found to be effective, feasible, and acceptable. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a specialist branch of CBT (sometimes referred to as contextual CBT ). ACT uses mindfulness and acceptance interventions and has been found to have

1540-533: Is considered. Cognitive behavioral therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT ) is a form of psychotherapy that aims to reduce symptoms of various mental health conditions, primarily depression, PTSD and anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions (such as thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) and their associated behaviors to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. Though it

1610-532: Is fueled by the underlying belief that loss (when felt wholeheartedly) can lead to a new sense of aliveness, and to a re-engagement with the outside world. Pupil size may be an indicator of sadness. A sad facial expression with small pupils is judged to be more intensely sad as the pupil size decreases. A person's own pupil size also mirrors this and becomes smaller when viewing sad faces with small pupils. No parallel effect exists when people look at neutral, happy or angry expressions. The greater degree to which

1680-404: Is important to respect a child's right to experience a loss fully and deeply. Margaret Mahler also saw the ability to feel sadness as an emotional achievement, as opposed for example to warding it off through restless hyperactivity. D. W. Winnicott similarly saw in sad crying the psychological root of valuable musical experiences in later life. A large amount of research has been conducted on

1750-480: Is most effective when combined with medication for treating mental disorders, such as major depressive disorder . CBT is recommended as the first line of treatment for the majority of psychological disorders in children and adolescents, including aggression and conduct disorder . Researchers have found that other bona fide therapeutic interventions were equally effective for treating certain conditions in adults. Along with interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), CBT

1820-448: Is often localized and associated with noxious physical stimuli", and "a lasting, unsustainable, and unpleasant feeling resulting from negative appraisal of an inability or deficiency of the self." The adjective "psychological" is thought to encompass the functions of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which may be seen as an indication for the many sources of psychological pain. One way of grouping these different sources of pain

1890-663: Is one of the six basic emotions described by Paul Ekman , along with happiness , anger , surprise , fear , and disgust . Sadness is a common experience in childhood. Sometimes, sadness can lead to depression . Some families may have a (conscious or unconscious) rule that sadness is "not allowed", but Robin Skynner has suggested that this may cause problems, arguing that with sadness "screened off", people can become shallow and manic . Pediatrician T. Berry Brazelton suggests that acknowledging sadness can make it easier for families to address more serious emotional problems. Sadness

1960-468: Is part of the normal process of the child separating from an early symbiosis with the mother and becoming more independent. Every time a child separates a little more, he or she will have to cope with a small loss. If the mother cannot allow the minor distress involved, the child may never learn how to deal with sadness by themselves. Brazelton argues that too much cheering a child up devalues the emotion of sadness for them; and Selma Fraiberg suggests that it

2030-428: Is potentially more effective than usual care and could be delivered effectively by primary care therapists." Some meta-analyses find CBT more effective than psychodynamic therapy and equal to other therapies in treating anxiety and depression. One etiological theory of depression is Aaron T. Beck 's cognitive theory of depression. His theory states that depressed people think the way they do because their thinking

2100-568: Is produced". Likewise, "low energy state of sadness attributes to slow tempo, lower speech rate and mean pitch". Sadness is, as stated by Klaus Scherer , one of the "best-recognized emotions in the human voice", although it's "generally somewhat lower than that of facial expression ". In a study by Scherer, it was found that in Western countries sadness had 79% of accuracy for facial recognition and 71% for vocal, while in Non-Western countries

2170-492: Is recommended in treatment guidelines as a psychosocial treatment of choice. The prevailing body of research consistently indicates that maintaining a faith or belief system generally contributes positively to mental well-being. Religious institutions have proactively established charities, such as the Samaritans , to address mental health issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy has undergone scrutiny as studies investigating

2240-758: Is used to treat specific problems related to a diagnosed mental disorder . The therapist's role is to assist the client in finding and practicing effective strategies to address the identified goals and to alleviate symptoms of the disorder. CBT is based on the belief that thought distortions and maladaptive behaviors play a role in the development and maintenance of many psychological disorders and that symptoms and associated distress can be reduced by teaching new information-processing skills and coping mechanisms. When compared to psychoactive medications , review studies have found CBT alone to be as effective for treating less severe forms of depression, and borderline personality disorder . Some research suggests that CBT

It is communicated mostly by lowering the mean and variability of the fundamental frequency ( f 0 ), besides being associated with lower vocal intensity, and with decreases in f 0 over time. Johar argues that, "when someone is sad, slow, low pitched speech with weak high audio frequency energy

2380-615: The insular cortex , posterior cingulate cortex, thalamus , parahippocampal gyrus , basal ganglia , and cerebellum . Some advocate that, because similar brain regions are involved in both physical pain and psychological pain, pain should be seen as a continuum that ranges from purely physical to purely psychological. Moreover, many sources mention the fact that many metaphors of physical pain are used to refer to psychologically painful experiences. Further connection between physical and psychological pain has been supported through proof that acetaminophen , an analgesic, can suppress activity in

2450-406: The "second wave" of CBT, which emphasized cognitive factors. Although the early behavioral approaches were successful in many so-called neurotic disorders , they had little success in treating depression . Behaviorism was also losing popularity due to the cognitive revolution . The therapeutic approaches of Albert Ellis and Aaron T. Beck gained popularity among behavior therapists, despite

2520-674: The "third wave" of CBT. The most prominent therapies of this third wave are dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy . Despite the increasing popularity of third-wave treatment approaches, reviews of studies reveal there may be no difference in the effectiveness compared with non-third wave CBT for the treatment of depression. In adults, CBT has been shown to be an effective part of treatment plans for anxiety disorders , body dysmorphic disorder , depression , eating disorders , chronic low back pain , personality disorders , psychosis , schizophrenia , substance use disorders , and bipolar disorder. It

2590-642: The United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. Their inspiration was by the behaviorist learning theory of Ivan Pavlov , John B. Watson , and Clark L. Hull . In Britain, Joseph Wolpe , who applied the findings of animal experiments to his method of systematic desensitization , applied behavioral research to the treatment of neurotic disorders. Wolpe's therapeutic efforts were precursors to today's fear reduction techniques. British psychologist Hans Eysenck presented behavior therapy as

2660-972: The anterior cingulate cortex and the insular cortex when experiencing social exclusion , the same way that it suppresses activity when experiencing physical pain, and reduces the agitation of people with dementia. However, use of paracetamol for more general psychological pain remains disputed. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) has long been believed to be a disorder that produces the most intense emotional pain and distress in those who have this condition. Studies have shown that borderline patients experience chronic and significant emotional suffering and mental agony. Borderline patients may feel overwhelmed by negative emotions, experiencing intense grief instead of sadness, shame and humiliation instead of mild embarrassment, rage instead of annoyance, and panic instead of nervousness. People with BPD are especially sensitive to feelings of rejection, isolation and perceived failure. Both clinicians and laymen alike have witnessed

2730-411: The best-documented efficacy for treatment of major depressive disorder . A 2001 meta-analysis comparing CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy suggested the approaches were equally effective in the short term for depression. In contrast, a 2013 meta-analysis suggested that CBT, interpersonal therapy , and problem-solving therapy outperformed psychodynamic psychotherapy and behavioral activation in

2800-505: The bilateral inferior and orbitofrontal cortex. In a study that induced sadness in subjects by showing emotional film clips, the feeling was correlated with significant increases in regional brain activity, especially in the prefrontal cortex, in the region called Brodmann's area 9 , and the thalamus . A significant increase in activity was also observed in the bilateral anterior temporal structures. According to functional theories, emotions are designed to allow people to effectively deal with

2870-411: The culprits of emotional distress. It was from this hypothesis that Beck developed cognitive therapy , and called these thoughts "automatic thoughts". He first published his new methodology in 1967, and his first treatment manual in 1979. Beck has been referred to as "the father of cognitive behavioral therapy". It was these two therapies, rational emotive therapy, and cognitive therapy, that started

2940-413: The degree to which an individual's sense of control is either internal or external. An internal locus of control exists when an individual views an outcome of a particular action as being reliant on themselves and their personal attributes whereas an external locus of control exists when an individual views other's or some outside, intangible force such as luck or fate as being responsible for the outcome of

3010-822: The desperate attempts to escape these subjective inner experiences of these patients. Borderline patients are severely impulsive and their attempts to alleviate the agony are often very destructive or self-destructive. Suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, eating disorders ( anorexia nervosa , binge eating disorder , and bulimia nervosa ), self-harm (cutting, overdosing, starvation, etc.), compulsive spending, gambling, sex addiction, violent and aggressive behavior, sexual promiscuity and deviant sexual behaviors, are desperate attempts to escape this pain. The intrapsychic pain experienced by those diagnosed with BPD has been studied and compared to normal healthy controls and to others with major depression , bipolar disorder, substance use disorder , schizophrenia, other personality disorders , and

3080-593: The development of CBT was John Stuart Mill through his creation of Associationism , a predecessor of classical conditioning and behavioral theory. The modern roots of CBT can be traced to the development of behavior therapy in the early 20th century, the development of cognitive therapy in the 1960s, and the subsequent merging of the two. Groundbreaking work of behaviorism began with John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner 's studies of conditioning in 1920. Behaviorally-centered therapeutic approaches appeared as early as 1924 with Mary Cover Jones ' work dedicated to

3150-474: The earlier behaviorist rejection of mentalistic concepts like thoughts and cognitions. Both of these systems included behavioral elements and interventions, with the primary focus being on problems in the present. In initial studies, cognitive therapy was often contrasted with behavioral treatments to see which was most effective. During the 1980s and 1990s, cognitive and behavioral techniques were merged into cognitive behavioral therapy. Pivotal to this merging

3220-613: The effectiveness of metacognitive training (MCT) for the improvement of positive symptoms (e.g., delusions). For people at risk of psychosis , in 2014 the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended preventive CBT. INSERM 's 2004 review found that CBT is an effective therapy for several mental disorders, including schizophrenia. A Cochrane review reported CBT had "no effect on long‐term risk of relapse" and no additional effect above standard care. A 2015 systematic review investigated

3290-717: The effectiveness of CBT for anxiety and depression. Evidence suggests that the addition of hypnotherapy as an adjunct to CBT improves treatment efficacy for a variety of clinical issues. The United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends CBT in the treatment plans for a number of mental health difficulties, including PTSD, OCD, bulimia nervosa , and clinical depression . Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown as an effective treatment for clinical depression. The American Psychiatric Association Practice Guidelines (April 2000) indicated that, among psychotherapeutic approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy had

3360-600: The effects of cognition on learning and behavior modification. The work of Claire Weekes in dealing with anxiety disorders in the 1960s is also seen as a prototype of behavior therapy. The emphasis on behavioral factors has been described as the "first wave" of CBT. One of the first therapists to address cognition in psychotherapy was Alfred Adler , notably with his idea of basic mistakes and how they contributed to creation of unhealthy behavioral and life goals. Abraham Low believed that someone's thoughts were best changed by changing their actions. Adler and Low influenced

3430-528: The fields of social psychology and personality psychology , the term social pain is used to denote psychological pain caused by harm or threat to social connection; bereavement, embarrassment, shame and hurt feelings are subtypes of social pain. From an evolutionary perspective, psychological pain forces the assessment of actual or potential social problems that might reduce the individual's fitness for survival. The way people display their psychological pain socially (for example, crying, shouting, moaning) serves

3500-490: The group receiving the CBT intervention developed generalized anxiety disorder by 12 months postintervention compared with 14% in the control group. Individuals with subthreshold levels of panic disorder significantly benefitted from use of CBT. Use of CBT was found to significantly reduce social anxiety prevalence. For depressive disorders, a stepped-care intervention (watchful waiting, CBT and medication if appropriate) achieved

3570-816: The impact of religious belief and practices have gained prominence. Numerous randomized controlled trials have explored the correlation of CBT within diverse religious frameworks, including Judaism , Taoism , and predominantly, Christianity . Principles originating from Buddhism have significantly impacted the evolution of various new forms of CBT, including dialectical behavior therapy , mindfulness-based cognitive therapy , spirituality-based CBT, and compassion-focused therapy . Precursors of certain fundamental aspects of CBT have been identified in various ancient philosophical traditions, particularly Stoicism . Stoic philosophers, particularly Epictetus , believed logic could be used to identify and discard false beliefs that lead to destructive emotions, which has influenced

Emotional pain Other descriptions of psychological pain are "a wide range of subjective experiences characterized as an awareness of negative changes in the self and in its functions accompanied by negative feelings", "a diffuse subjective experience ... differentiated from physical pain which

3710-612: The negative schemata and cognitive biases of the person. According to this theory, depressed people have views such as "I never do a good job", "It is impossible to have a good day", and "things will never get better". A negative schema helps give rise to the cognitive bias, and the cognitive bias helps fuel the negative schema. Beck further proposed that depressed people often have the following cognitive biases: arbitrary inference , selective abstraction , overgeneralization, magnification, and minimization . These cognitive biases are quick to make negative, generalized, and personal inferences of

3780-674: The neuroscience of sadness. According to the American Journal of Psychiatry , sadness has been found to be associated with "increases in bilateral activity within the vicinity of the middle and posterior temporal cortex , lateral cerebellum , cerebellar vermis , midbrain , putamen , and caudate." Jose V. Pardo has his M.D and Ph.D and leads a research program in cognitive neuroscience. Using positron emission tomography (PET) Pardo and his colleagues were able to provoke sadness among seven normal men and women by asking them to think about sad things. They observed increased brain activity in

3850-439: The purpose of indicating that they are in need. Physical pain and psychological pain share common underlying neurological mechanisms. Brain regions that were consistently found to be implicated in both types of pain are the anterior cingulate cortex and prefrontal cortex (some subregions more than others), and may extend to other regions as well. Brain regions that were also found to be involved in psychological pain include

3920-713: The results were of 74% and 58%, respectively. During the Renaissance, Edmund Spenser in The Faerie Queene endorsed sadness as a marker of spiritual commitment. In The Lord of the Rings , sadness is distinguished from unhappiness, to exemplify J. R. R. Tolkien 's preference for a sad, but settled determination, as opposed to what he saw as the shallower temptations of either despair or hope . Julia Kristeva considered that "a diversification of moods, variety in sadness, refinement in sorrow or mourning are

3990-456: The same frustrated need. This needs perspective coincides with Patrick David Wall 's description of physical pain that says that physical pain indicates a need state much more than a sensory experience. Unmet psychological needs in youth may cause an inability to meet human needs later in life. As a consequence of neglectful parenting, children with unmet psychological needs may be linked to psychotic disorders in childhood throughout life. In

4060-417: The self, thus fueling the negative schema. On the other hand, a positive cognitive triad relates to a person's positive evaluations of themself, the world, and the future. More specifically, a positive cognitive triad requires self-esteem when viewing oneself and hope for the future. A person with a positive cognitive triad has a positive schema used for viewing themself in addition to a positive schema for

4130-411: The situations that evoke the emotion. Sadness is believed to serve two primary functions that enhance one's ability to cope with loss. One function is the promotion of cognitive changes that restructure beliefs and goals and reevaluate implications. For instance, when sad, people tend to be less affected by their schemas in general, including schemas regarding political ideology (the heuristic regarding how

Feelings of emptiness are a central problem for patients with personality disturbances. In an attempt to avoid this feeling, these patients employ defences to preserve their fragmentary selves. Feelings of emptiness may be so painful that suicide

4270-403: The treatment of depression. According to a 2004 review by INSERM of three methods, cognitive behavioral therapy was either proven or presumed to be an effective therapy on several mental disorders . This included depression , panic disorder , post-traumatic stress , and other anxiety disorders. CBT has been shown to be effective in the treatment of adults with anxiety disorders. There

4340-464: The unlearning of fears in children. These were the antecedents of the development of Joseph Wolpe 's behavioral therapy in the 1950s. It was the work of Wolpe and Watson, which was based on Ivan Pavlov 's work on learning and conditioning, that influenced Hans Eysenck and Arnold Lazarus to develop new behavioral therapy techniques based on classical conditioning . During the 1950s and 1960s, behavioral therapy became widely used by researchers in

4410-529: The very coping strategies chosen, such as ruminating, "drowning one's sorrows", or permanently isolating oneself. As alternative ways of coping with sadness to the above, cognitive behavioral therapy suggests instead either challenging one's negative thoughts, or scheduling some positive event as a distraction. Being attentive to, and patient with, one's sadness may also be a way for people to learn through solitude; while emotional support to help people stay with their sadness can be further helpful. Such an approach

4480-470: The way modern cognitive-behavioral therapists identify cognitive distortions that contribute to depression and anxiety. Aaron T. Beck 's original treatment manual for depression states, "The philosophical origins of cognitive therapy can be traced back to the Stoic philosophers". Another example of Stoic influence on cognitive theorists is Epictetus on Albert Ellis . A key philosophical figure who influenced

4550-475: The work of Albert Ellis , who developed the earliest cognitive-based psychotherapy called rational emotive behavioral therapy , or REBT. The first version of REBT was announced to the public in 1956. In the late 1950s, Aaron T. Beck was conducting free association sessions in his psychoanalytic practice. During these sessions, Beck noticed that thoughts were not as unconscious as Freud had previously theorized, and that certain types of thinking may be

4620-510: The world and for the future. Cognitive behavioral research suggests a positive cognitive triad bolsters resilience , or the ability to cope with stressful events. Increased levels of resilience is associated with greater resistance to depression . Another major theoretical approach to cognitive behavioral therapy treatment is the concept of Locus of Control outlined in Julian Rotter's Social Learning Theory . Locus of control refers to

For instance, glucocorticoids can prevent aversive learning episodes from being retrieved and heighten reinforcement of memory traces creating

4760-510: Was offered by Shneidman, who stated that psychological pain is caused by frustrated psychological needs. For example, the need for love, autonomy, affiliation, and achievement, or the need to avoid harm, shame, and embarrassment. Psychological needs were originally described by Henry Murray in 1938 as needs that motivate human behavior. Shneidman maintained that people rate the importance of each need differently, which explains why people's level of psychological pain differs when confronted with

4830-422: Was originally designed to treat depression , its uses have been expanded to include many issues and the treatment of many mental health and other conditions, including anxiety , substance use disorders, marital problems, ADHD , and eating disorders .

Over time, cognitive behavior therapy came to be known not only as a therapy, but as an umbrella term for all cognitive-based psychotherapies. These therapies include, but are not limited to, REBT , cognitive therapy , acceptance and commitment therapy , dialectical behavior therapy , metacognitive therapy , metacognitive training , reality therapy / choice theory , cognitive processing therapy , EMDR , and multimodal therapy . This blending of theoretical and technical foundations from both behavior and cognitive therapies constituted
