Cognitive perspective
Solution
According to this perspective, people engage in abnormal behaviour because of their recurrent maladaptive thoughts and behaviours that are often based upon their false assumptions. Treatment involves helping the maladjusted individual to adapt to a new thinking process. Therapy is a process of unlearning maladaptive thinking and replacing it with a more adaptive one. This area of psychology focuses on mental processes such as memory, thinking, problem-solving, language, and decision making.
