The most popular therapy presently is the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).  CBT adopts a biopsychosocial approach to the delineation of psychopathology. It combines cognitive therapy with behavioural techniques. The rationale is that the client’s distress has its origins in the biological, psychological, and social realms.

Hence, addressing

a. the biological aspects through relaxation procedures,

b. the psychological ones through behaviour therapy and cognitive therapy techniques and

c. the social ones with environmental manipulations

makes CBT a comprehensive technique which is easy to use, applicable to a variety of disorders, and has proven efficacy.

Statement A: Addressing the childhood traumas on the client is not correct in respect of the CBT.
