Some recent evidence of the effectiveness of family-therapy came from data from randomized controlled trials (RCT’s), published in the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy.

After receiving this intervention, fourth through sixth graders had higher satisfaction and fewer depressive symptoms, negative thoughts, and poor coping responses than those in the wait-list control group (Kaslow, et al., 2012).

The articles will explore the treatments and outcomes of CBT on patients, who were diagnosed with anxiety disorders. The research paper will examine the theory, model, and effectiveness of exploration in relation to the other articles to suggest that CBT is a productive form of treatments for anxiety disorders.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that involves conjoint therapy sessions of with the child and the parent. This approach is employed among children and/or adolescents that are experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties that are significant and related to life events that are traumatic (Cohen, Mannarino, & Deblinger, 2012).

CBT is used with children with different ethnicities with ages ranging from preschool to high school. Many clinicians use CBT with other intervention treatment

There findings indicated TF-CBT did indeed display improvements in the youths’ PTSD symptoms and coping. At the baseline of the treatment, the children’s PSTD symptom levels were at 45.3. Following the treatment, their levels of PTSD decreased to 37.3. At the follow-up, their levels of PTSD decreased to 23.2. The children’s level of coping also improved. At the baseline of the treatment, the children’s level of coping was at 3.3. Following the treatment, their coping levels increased to 3.8. At the follow-up, their coping levels increased to five. These results reveal that TF-CBT have positive effect on ameliorating both PTSD symptoms and coping levels. Thus, cognitive-behavioral therapy is a good evidence-based treatment for PSTD, more specifically trauma-based PTSD.

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a major area of interest within the field of counselling. The cognitive behavioural approach has made significant contributions towards counselling over the years. As a result of this the cognitive behavioural approach has become more widely practiced (Dobson and Dobson, 2009).

In spite of this, previous studies have provided evidence, which confirms the effectiveness of the cognitive behavioural approach, to be higher than any other approach (McLeod, 2013). This essay, will examine and critically discuss the various pros and cons that exist within the cognitive behavioural approach.

With particular reference to how cognitive behavioural therapy for women with anxiety during and after pregnancy.

To ensure the PT results were correlated with those of CBT, the authors developed a manual-guided form of PT for this trial. This form was specifically designed to treat social anxiety disorder and was based off of Luborsky’s PT model as it includes both supportive and expressive interventions that are presumed to lead to therapeutic change (Luborsky, 1984). All participants went through as many as five preliminary sessions with a therapist, followed by as many as 25, 50-minute treatment appointments (Leichsenring et al. 2012). For

Today Cognitive behavioral Therapy has been influenced by two major therapeutic approaches: firstly, Behaviorism as developed by Skinner, Pavlov and others in the 1950s and 1960s, where the main research was related to rewards and punishments, or stimuli’ and their response.
