Skinner, Ivan Pavlov, Jean Piaget, and Ulric Neisser, revealing how their pioneering efforts laid the cognitive and behavioral foundation for this widely recognized and extensively researched therapeutic approach. As we delve into the evolution of CBT, we uncover its research-driven nature and the emergence of specialized forms, such as Trauma-Focused CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
