Ellis' CBT focuses on B (the beliefs). The therapist will help the patient to identify their own unhelpful beliefs and prove them wrong. Negative thinking is challenged based on evidence from the patient’s own experience.

Evaluation for CBT
this therapy gives patients the feeling that they have regained control over their lives by changing their thinking patterns and they can make a positive change.

Patients need motivation to attend this type of therapy as it requires effort from the patient. A symptom of depression is lack of motivation so severely depressed people may not be able to access this treatment
