Cognitive psychology focuses on how thoughts influence behavior, while behavioral psychology focuses on how actions shape thoughts and feelings. In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), these two perspectives are integrated to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their psychological problems. This helps clients learn coping skills and strategies to improve their mental health.
The behavioral approach focuses on how observable behaviors are learned and shaped through reinforcement and punishment, while the cognitive approach emphasizes how internal mental processes like thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions influence behavior. Behavioral therapy seeks to change maladaptive behaviors through conditioning techniques, while cognitive therapy aims to modify unhelpful thought patterns to improve psychological well-being.
Unlike psychodynamic therapies, it does not focus on uncovering or understanding the unconscious motivations that may be behind the maladaptive behavior.
In cognitive-behavioral therapy, the therapist works with the patient to identify the thoughts that are causing distress, and employs behavioral therapy techniques to alter the resulting behavior.
