“A revolution in the field of mental health was initiated in the early 1960s by Aaron T. Beck MD “ ( Beck,2011,pp 1) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be traced back to early 1920s as it stems from the development of behavior therapy. During the timeframe of 1950-1970 was when the concept of behavioral therapy was extensive used. It was inspired by the behavioral learning theory of Pavolov, Watson and Hull. (Bannink, 2012) The behavior therapy tradition took shape into what is now known as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). (Dattilio, 2014) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was developed from a form of psychotherapy. (Castle, 2006)
A number of therapies can be placed under the “Cognitive-behavioral” approach; Rational-emotive behavior therapy,

Limited research has been provided for other certain diagnoses such as OCD ,ADHD, and Post-Traumatic Stress disorder. While currently, these are areas that are being extensively researched, prior research did not provided “evidence-based ” that CBT was effective in these areas. This is due to these areas being a fairly new concept for CBT and limited research available to compare the effectiveness. (Bannink, 2012) Cognitive Behavioral therapy works well with any groups with a psychological concern. However, I did not find any evidence or research to back up the effectiveness in working individuals of LGBTQ community. More research will need to be completed to determine if CBT is effective for all ethnicities and diverse groups . CBT does not work with medical diagnosis that is causing the cognitive disorder however, limited research has been provided for Alzheimer’s Disease. CBT would not be used in the treatment of Alzheimer Disease however; it can be used to treat any Depression or Anxiety associated with it.
cognitive therapy because of the importance it places on thinking. It is now known as CBT
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy. The effectiveness has been researched extensively over the years (Dobson, 2001). There are over three hundred published studies about the outcomes of cognitive behavioral therapy interventions. The main reason for this is that an ongoing adaptation of this form of psychotherapy makes it applicable to a vast amount of disorders and related problems (Rounsaville & Caroll, 2002). Despite the relatively great amount of studies on the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy, questions still remain about the levels of effectiveness for different disorders, about the effects of
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a mixture of both Cognitive Therapy (CT), which deals with a person’s thoughts and Behavioral Therapy (BT), which concentrates on an individual’s overt or outside personality. According to Barbara P. Early and Melissa D. Grady, CT specializes in the mental process that can affect an individual’s feelings and behavior, while BT is focusing on the external environment that can cause the behaviors, such as a stimulus (Early & Grady, 2016). The use of the two therapies together allows the
CBT also fails to recognise the impact of situations or experiences that are out of the control of the individual and places total responsibility on the individual. Further, research has shown that although CBT is superior in treating anxiety and depression it does so only by reducing/eliminating symptoms and does little to increase well-being, however with a renewed emphasis incorporating symptom reduction and increased quality of life this appears to be changing (Oei & McAlinden,
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in contrast to many other therapeutic frameworks has both an explicit rationale and an empirically demonstrable success rate. In addition to the wealth of published case histories there are a plethora of controlled studies attesting to the efficacy of CBT interventions with an equally diverse range of psychological and behavioral conditions. (Emmelkamp et al 1992).
Most contemporary psychological treatment approaches are predecessors of the ancient and medieval philosophies and theories. Cognitive behavioural therapy as one of the modern treatment method in not an independently formed treatment, different theories have contributed to its present shape and application.
A meta-analyses study of Hofmann, Asnaani, Vonk, Sawyer, & Fang in 2012 showed the efficacy of CBT with anger management. Moreover, CBT is used in a various scope of therapy treatments, such as clients with TBI, OCD, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and many behavioral, emotional or psychosocial issues to recover occupational performance (Wheeler, Acord-Vira & Davis,
Over the course of my career I have been trained in interventions from various theoretical orientations, with particular emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I always find myself gravitating to the structure of CBT, which in order to be effective, requires collaboration between the provider and patient to identify maladaptive patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors within the context of the individual’s environment. The CBT approach has a wide array of carefully constructed exercises, in addition to various protocols, to help clients evaluate and change their thoughts and behaviors.
In cognitive behavior therapy there are three main goals a therapist tries to achieve, “ relieve the symptoms and help clients resolve the problem, then help clients develop strategies that can be used to cope with future problems, finally help clients change the way they think from irrational, self-defeating thoughts to more rational, self-helping, positive thoughts” (Ciccarelli, White 2015). When interviewing friends the first step was to find out what their most impacting problems were. Then they talked about ways they could help relax themselves when or if the situation every happened again. Finally they came up with ways they could look at their problems in a more positive way. After the interviews
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a short-term, problem-centered therapy that is used to address psychopathology within the individual (Beck, 1995). This model of therapy is used to address issues of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relational problems, and drug abuse, and can be utilized when working with individuals, as well as within group and family modalities. The core aspects of this therapy include collaboration and participation by the client, a strong alliance between therapist and client, and an initial focus on current problems and functioning (Beck, 1995). The theory of CBT emphasizes the relationship between the individual’s thoughts feelings and behaviors, which is seen as being the underlying cause of
Current research by Bisson & Andrew (as cited in Cary & McMillen, 2012) reveal that TF-CBT for children and youth has no public systematic review, however there are several reasons why this intervention is effective at reducing PTSD. There have been several randomized trails branded by TF-CBT that have produced positive outcomes. The National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP), gave TF-CBT between a 3.6 and a 3.8 out of 4.0 possible points based on its effectiveness of PTSD.
CBT is a relatively young model and theory. What we know as CBT, began in the 1950's with Albert Ellis's Rational Emotive Behavioral approach to therapy (Dobson, 2001). Later in the 1960's, Aaron Beck began using Cognitive Therapy in treating depression. (Barlow, 2001. 230) The origins of what we now know as cognitive behavioral theory is said to come from earlier theories and concepts. Credit can be given to early philosophers such as Kant (1782), theorists such as Alfred Adler (Individual Psychology), and behaviorists such as Joseph Wolpe and George Kelly . Frued can also be mentioned, albeit indirectly, for his theory was quite distressing to Adler who stated, “I am convinced that a person's behaviors springs from his ideas.” (pg 306. Milkman and Sunderwirth, 2010). Pavlov and Skinner can also be acknowledged, for their work in learned behavior and conditioning, which directly correlates to the concepts of cognitive behavioral therapy. More recently, A.
Cognitive therapy is normally directed in an out-tolerant setting (center or specialist's office) by an advisor prepared or ensured in psychological treatment procedures. Treatment might be in either individual or gathering sessions, and the course of treatment is short contrasted with customary psychotherapy (frequently 12 sessions or less). Advisors utilize a few distinct strategies over the span of psychological treatment to enable patients to look at musings and practices incorporate legitimacy testing, intellectual practice, guided revelation, journaling, homeworks, and models. Psychological behavioral treatment (CBT) incorporates components of behavioral change into the conventional subjective rebuilding approach. In psychological behavioral
The philosophy of cognitive behavioral therapy is that “think and feeling are connected people are creative (Halbur & Halbur, 2015, p.47)”. The key aspects of theory are to challenge the irrational beliefs that we hold about ourselves. Aaron Beck the primary founder of cognitive behavior theory assumed that people can control how they feel and what they think. He believed that our inner thoughts and beliefs affected how we are affected on the outside. One of the key concepts is that the client’s dysfunctional thinking can be derived from an erroneous internal process or bias.
