The Importance Of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

It should be noted that there are no widely accepted or published best practice standards of mental health care in juvenile detention settings. The cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective for youths in the juvenile justice settings because it is highly structured and focuses on their thoughts about what happens to them that cause particular feelings, rather than the events themselves. The goal of therapy is to change thinking processes. It uses various techniques to learn what goals clients have for their lives and to improve skills that can help them achieve those goals.
