Abstract
The non-pharmacological treatments in patients with depression are getting popular and important in these days. Cognitive behavior group therapy (CBGT) is one of the most effective treatments in helping patients' negative emotion and behavior. The CBGT aims at modifying patients' cognitive errors, belief, and thoughts. From the literature review, the CBGT was effective in reducing depressed patients' depression, cognitive errors, dysfunctional attitude, and hopelessness. A series of evidence based researches proved the effectiveness of the CBGT. This article reviewed the related researches in the field of CBGT in patients with depression.
