This approach was related with the psychologist Sigmund Freud. He suggested that the mind is made out of 3 parts the conscious level, preconscious and unconscious level. He believes the unconscious mind is important as many of our memories, feelings and past experiences are locked up in this part. He says we can’t access these contents but they often ‘leak out’ in dreams or by the slip of the tongue whilst talking. According to Freud the conscious mind represents the tip of the iceberg.

Studies have been conducted that suggest that CBT would produce a reduction of the signs and symptoms on each disorder. Additionally, CBT can be used to prevent adolescents from the onset of depression if their parents do not have depression.

A major limitation of CBT is that it tends to be ineffective when treating individuals with highly severe diagnoses. Despite the limitation, CBT has been transformed so that there are several delivery opportunities such as online and internet CBT. Whether a professional used the “traditional” approach new approaches, it is important to first gain a full understanding of the client, the diagnosis, and his/her signs and symptoms.
