One of the major goals of cognitive therapy is to generate cognitive restructuring for clients. While generating cognitive restructuring plenty of cognitive interventions can be useful. One of those interventions is building a Pie Chart (PC) prepared collaboratively with clients. In literature large amount of example related to target areas of PC has been stated. Investigating reasons of an event or a situation, appraising ones responsibility, testing catastrophic evaluations regarding a life event, challenging labeling thoughts and setting goals are some of the major target areas of PC. When using PC it is aimed at expanding perspectives of clients and helping them achieve an objective point of view towards life events and situations. The goal of the current paper is to explain the target areas for PC as a tool for cognitive restructuring. Key Words: Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Restructuring, Pie Chart Technique
