Topic 8.8
How could one challenge the cognitive-behavioral approach's focus on dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors as causes of disorders?
The human mind isn't capable of dysfunctional thoughts or behaviors - these are just labels society imposes on people who think differently.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is ineffective for treating severe mental health conditions like schizophrenia.
Dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors are signs of weakness rather than symptoms of a disorder.
It overlooks potential biological or genetic roots which might also contribute to these mental conditions.
