The underlying premise of CBT is that the client's distress originates from a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Therefore, CBT addresses these different aspects to provide a holistic treatment approach. Biological aspects are addressed through relaxation procedures aimed at reducing physiological symptoms. Psychological aspects are targeted using behavior therapy techniques, which focus on modifying maladaptive behaviors, and cognitive therapy techniques, which aim to challenge and change negative thought patterns. Social aspects are addressed through environmental manipulations, such as modifying problematic social interactions or improving social support. |
