cognitive theory
Introduction:
I would like to present my paper on Cognitive theory and use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Bipolar Disorder. The project will show efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral therapy in treating Depression. Cognitive theory was originated by Aaron Temkin Beck (b.1921) .A.T. Beck`s Pioneering research established efficacy of cognitive therapy for depression. He has successfully applied cognitive therapy to depression, generalised anxiety and panic disorders, marital and relationship problems, psychotic disorders and personality disorders. (Corey, G., 2013).He has developed assessment scales for depression, suicide risk, anxiety, self-concept, and personality. Cognitive behavioral therapy and its efficacy in Bipolar disorder and Depression is the topic of the paper.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:
A.T. Beck developed an approach known as Cognitive Therapy (CT) as a result of research on Depression. Beck`s observations of depressed clients revealed that they had a negative bias in
Their interpretation of certain life events, which contributed to their cognitive
Distortions (Beck, 1967).
Basic principles of cognitive Therapy:
Beck contends that people with emotional difficulties tend to commit characteristic
Logical errors that distort objective reality. Systemic errors in reasoning that lead to faulty assumptions and misconceptions, which are termed cognitive distortions. Arbitrary inferences, selective abstraction, overgeneralization, magnification and minimization, labeling and mislabelling, dichotomous thinking are the examples of cognitive distortions.
Application of Cognitive therapy :Almost everyone has dark thoughts when his or her mood is bad. With depression, though, the thoughts can be extremely negative. They can also take over and distort your view of reality.
Cognitive therapy can be an effective way to defuse those thoughts. When used for depression, cognitive therapy provides
