A weakness of CBT?

-Over-emphasis on the role of cognition, as the primary cause, which doesn't allow other possibly circumstances to be considered -Some psychologists have critcised CBT for not taking into account other factors, such as social circumstances, which might contribute to a person's depression. -Eg: a patient who is suffering from domestic violence or who in extreme poverty does not need to change their negative/irrational beliefs, but in fact need support to change their circumstances. -CBT whould not be appropriate in treating the depression of patients like this, demonstrating its limited application to the real world since it focuses solely on conditions and minimised the importance of a person's social circumstances.
