Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a
psychotherapy conducted for a short duration
that focusses on problem solving methods. This
therapy aims at altering the thinking or
perception of an individual (Zettle & Hayes,
2015).
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a
combination of (Friedman, Koenig &
Thase, 2016):
 Behavioral
 Cognitive psychology
CBT conducted in the following steps
(Lenhard et al., 2017):
 Psychological assessment
 Reconceptualization
 Attainment of new skills
 Skills training and management
 Post-treatment evaluation
Effective CBT in a public health intervention include
certain components:
 The participation of the patient in the intervention.
Skipping directly to the treatment will not be
effective.
 The proper time routine should be followed.
 The intervention should follow all the steps and
patient should be kept informed about the therapy
(Karyotaki et al., 2017).
According to other researches, CBT is an effective
psychotherapy compared to the medicines or other speech
therapies to treat mental health disorders (Gabriel,
McCann & Hoch, 2019).
Implementing a therapy for public health
interventions depends on administration of the
most effective theory into practice for a given
situation. Theories are individually suitable
for the different set of practice for the
individuals or groups (Gabriel, McCann &
Hoch, 2019).
