[Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression].

ABSTRACT

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that improves dysfunc- tional cognition, and enhances the ability to manage problems in daily life. Not only CBT tech- niques, such as behavior activation, cognitive restructuring, and problem solving, but also case formulation and therapeutic relationships are important in CBT, which are useful for psychia- trists who work at a general hospital.
