The foundational premise of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is that:

A  Thoughts, actions, and emotions interact and contribute to psychopathology.

B  Maladaptive actions are learned and can be unlearned and replaced with adaptive actions.

C  People experience distress and unhappiness when they refuse to face painful or difficult experiences or memories from their lives.

D  Childhood conflicts and unconscious impulses exceed the capacity of defense mechanisms to keep them outside of consciousness.

E  There is a fundamental mismatch between a person’s real self and ideal self, which leads to inappropriate actions.
