ASSIGNMENT 3 Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the therapeutic approach that is helpful in the case of a paranoid personality. CBT is helpful in ensuring that people become more aware of their automatic thoughts. The patient will be able to understand how such thoughts tend to affect their behaviors and feelings. I selected this approach since it gives an individual a greater sense of mastery over their feelings and emotions. It gives the patients coping skills and improves their social interactions as well as their self-esteem and communication. For example, patients with Paranoid Personality Disorder have distrust issues with others; CBT provides a basis for making a follow-up on the treatment since such patients do not follow their treatment plan.
