An important characteristic of cognitive behavioral therapy is the mutuality between the therapist and patient (i.e., the collaboration in defining the problem, identifying goals, formulating treatment strategies, and evaluating progress). Other characteristics include an emphasis on an objective assessment process, a supportive rather than curative focus, and a facilitative role of the therapist.
