Abstract
Cognitive behavioral therapy encompasses a variety of therapeutic approaches involving the interaction of cognition, emotion, and behavior. It is widely considered the gold standard therapy for most psychologically based disorders and is currently considered the technique of choice for the treatment of medically unexplained symptoms and behaviorally based sleep disorders. The following chapter explores its application to the treatment of functional respiratory disorders in the primary care and consultative setting.
