Cognitive therapy entails a therapy process or a psychotherapy which its main focus is on the concept of pathological mental processing. Cognitive therapy majorly focuses its treatment on the modification of distorted cognitions and maladaptive behaviors.

This therapy process got its foundation by the statement, "Men are disturbed not by things but by the views which they take of them."
