Nira is a deeply unhappy person.  Her psyche is dominated by negative emotions which sometimes cause her to engage in unproductive behaviors.  Nira’s mind automatically interprets things from a negative perspective.  Her psychotherapist listens closely to the things she says when describing her miserable life then begins to identify specific faulty assumptions in Nira’s mind that cause the negative emotions and unproductive behaviors.  The therapist actively confronts Nira on the faults in how her mind interprets life events and then offers strategies on how to avoid automatic negative assumptions.  What approach to psychotherapy is described here?
