What is Cognitive Behavior Therapy and how is it different from other types of therapy? 

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) focuses on the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do.  It stresses that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings.  This type of therapy is different because it is collaborative, structured, short term, and focused on the present time.
