Cognitive therapy is based on the concept that the way each person thinks about things affect how he feels emotionally. It focuses on the person's here and now, his present thoughts, behaviors, and communications rather than the past. It is sometimes called cognitive behavior therapy because it helps people in the ways that they think and in ways that they act. It has been applied to depression, anxiety, panic, fears, eating disorders, and many others. In the case of depression, the therapist will help the patient identify and evaluate the automatic thoughts of a person (negative view of himself, the world and the future), make him think more realistically, which will make him feel better emotionally.
