It permits new ways of thinking, focuses on the practice of new skills, and acquiring effective problem coping behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is character based, and for individual people who incorporate faulty thinking, which leads to emotional and behavioral disturbances. There have been studies conducted, and cognitive-behavioral theory has been the coping strategy of choice. “Previous research has established that parents commonly experience intrusive harm-related thoughts pertaining to their infants (e.g., "My baby might die from SIDS").
