Cognitive therapies teach people new, more adaptive ways of thinking and aim to alter the way people act and think by modifying negative self-talk.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy combines cognitive therapy with behavior therapy to change self-defeating thinking and behavior and help people make more realistic appraisals.
Some forms of psychotherapy work best for particular problems, such as behavior therapies for bed-wetting, phobias, and sexual dysfunctions, psychodynamic therapy for depression and anxiety, and cognitive therapies for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
