Cognitive-behavioral therapy
Even though it is very popular, CBT has faced criticism.  CBT focuses on a patient’s thoughts and the problems they are having in their lives.  Critics say CBT does not look at the patient as a whole.  CBT also ignores the patient’s past experiences.  Because they ignore the patient's past, therapists might not understand how the patient first developed negative thought patterns.  Ignoring the root causes of these thought patterns can make it difficult to identify solutions.
