Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has its roots in behaviorism, cognitive therapy, and mindfulness, and is now a widely recognized practice in clinical psychology and applied psychology. CBT is used in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans, eating disorders, and substance abuse.
