Basic Theory, Development and Current Status of CBT
1 Basic Theory, Development and Current Status of CBTI ntroductionIn this chapter we want to introduce you to some of the essential background to cogni-tive behaviour therapy (CBT), including the Basic theory and the Development of the approach. We start here because CBT is sometimes criticised for being a rather simple-minded cookbook approach to therapy: if the client has this problem then use that technique. However, the approach we take in this book is based not on the mechani-cal application of techniques but on understanding: understanding your patient, under-standing CBT theory, and bringing the two together in a formulation (see Chapter 4). You should already have some ideas about understanding people, based on your clinical and personal experience.
roots in scientific psychology, BT had always taken an empirical approach, which soon allowed it to provide solid evidence that it was effective in relieving anxiety problems. Second, BT was a far more economical treatment than traditional psychotherapy, typi-cally taking six to 12 sessions.
