Abstract

CBT is a psychosocial intervention to treat schizophrenia. it aims to empower the patient to function with the maximum capacity. Cognitive model for mental illness states that person perception is responsible for their behaviors and emotions. The therapist unfolds three levels of cognition; core belief, dysfunctional assumption and negative automatic thoughts to understand and shape the patient's cognition. Studies have shown positive impact of CBT on patient, yet in Pakistan several barriers line up to restrict the patient to avail the treatment. To increase its effectiveness, several steps must be taken at respective levels to ensure its availability and accessibility to everyone.
