Cognitive therapy
Cognitive Therapy is a type of psychotherapy which concentrates on the way in which people perceive and interpret information and attribute meaning to events - a process known scientifically as cognition. Cognitive therapy seeks to identify and change distorted or unrealistic ways of thinking, and therefore to influence emotion and behavior. Focus is brought upon the fundamental underlying ways in which people process information—whether about the self, the world or the future. Treatment is based on collaboration between client and therapist and on testing beliefs.
Cognitive therapy may help shed light on the reasons for picking, and on the internal psychological processes that bring a person to pick at owns skin.
