Cognitive-behavioral therapy (ÑBT) is wide spread in the developed foreign countries and is very effective treatment of neurosis, anxiety, depression, anorexia, personal disorders etc. In CBT history three «waves» were marked out. First was connected with behavioral research and practice, social learning theory etc , second — with cognitive revolution. The third wave includes many different approaches, they emphasize the role of emotions, meta-cognitions, meditation practice. Cognitive therapy focuses on the our appraisals of events and situations. People with mental disorders have cognitive distortions in information processing, distortions evoke certain feelings (e.g. anxiety, fear) and then result in maladaptive behavior, which is maintained vicious cycles. The treatment process in CBT consists from patient’s psycoeducation and motivation, cognitive and behavioral techniques, home tasks. It is significantly individualized approach.
