Thematic Literature Review of the literature concerning The Use of Cognitive Therapy (CBT) in Reducing Symptoms of Anxiety
Introduction
Anxiety disorders are some of the most common mental health disorders (James, Soler, and Weatherall, 2005). As well, Hunot, Churchill, Teixeira, and Silva de Lima (2007) add that
Generalized Anxiety Disorder is highly prevalent among the population. James, et al. (2005) writes that 5 to 18% of all children and adolescents experience anxiety disorders. This literature
review examines how cognitive therapy (also known as CBT) is used to reframe negative cognitions, especially about oneself, and thereby works to reduce or alleviate symptoms of
anxiety. Specifically, it is designed to address how cognitive therapy techniques work to change
negative self-statements, so that people experiencing symptoms of anxiety may find relief?
