Abstract:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has recently been the most promising therapy approach, as it yields rapid and lasting results. The goal of this therapy is to measure cognitive impairment level, test reality, cope with irrational thoughts and beliefs, replace them with rational thinking, and teach new skills (Grave and Blissett, 2004, Kendall and Braswell, 1993). Widely used in psychological disorders in adults, CBT can also be used in children, with differences in practice due to their continuing development. Thus, the development processes should be well understood to apply CBT in children. This review examines CBT applications in children, CBT techniques, and difficulties in practice through examples from the relevant literature.
