Evidence for Lukianoff’s reverse CBT hypothesis

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a method of psychotherapy with significant body of effectiveness evidence. In CBT you learn to recognize when your ruminations and automatic thinking patterns exemplify “cognitive distortions,” such as catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, fortune telling, or emotional reasoning. Thinking in these ways
causes depression, as well as being a
symptom of depression. Breaking out of these painful distortions
is a cure for depression. Mainstream Western education today supports cognitive distortions and emotional reasoning, rather than teaching students critical thinking (which is basically what CBT is) We can add that it's not only education that does it. There's no doubt that it's a deliberate strategy to make people easy to control.
Не, не е офтопик.
