Cognitive behavioral therapy is the school and clinical movement that combines cognitive psychology's focus on thought patterns with behaviorism's focus on learned, modifiable behavior, aiming to reduce symptoms of mental health conditions by identifying and adjusting distorted convictions and assumptions. Albert Ellis's rational emotive behavior therapy, introduced publicly in 1956, and Aaron Beck's cognitive therapy, developed while Beck was working as a psychoanalyst in the 1950s and published in 1967, are its two founding lines of work, merging into classical CBT as cognitive and behavioral approaches combined during the 1970s.
