Even though it is popular, CBT has faced criticism. CBT focuses on a patient’s thoughts and the problems they are having in their lives. Critics say CBT does not look at the patient as a whole. It ignores the patient’s past experiences. Because they ignore the patient's past, therapists might not understand how the patient first developed negative thought patterns. Ignoring the causes of these thought patterns can make it difficult to identify solutions.
