Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cognitive therapy involves challenging and changing negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to depression. The therapist would help the patient identify and examine negative self-statements and work to change them into positive, more realistic thoughts. Examining early childhood conflicts (A) or providing feedback about family environment (B) may be part of other types of therapy, but is not specific to cognitive therapy. Focusing on the patient's reaction to the therapist's style and offering interpretations (D) may be more relevant to psychodynamic therapy.
