- More about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: A Very Short Introduction
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a psychological therapy that focuses on modifying cognition and behavior to understand and alleviate psychological distress. It has evolved through different approaches, emphasizing cognitive processes and the relationship between thoughts and behavior. CBT's success is due to its basis in empiricism and its ability to adapt to meet future challenges. However, there are challenges in training the workforce and determining the best ways to monitor its competence and effectiveness.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a comprehensive psychological approach that has evolved over time to address various mental health concerns. It is not a singular method but rather a collection of approaches that share a common framework emphasizing the role of cognition (thought) and behavior in understanding and alleviating psychological distress. While early CBT approaches focused on modifying observable behavior, subsequent versions shifted their focus to cognitive processes. In recent years, the third wave of CBT has emerged, emphasizing the relationship between an individual's thoughts and their thoughts, as well as the underlying cognitive processes involved in thinking.
This Very Short Introduction provides a comprehensive overview of CBT, its origins, principles, and applications. It explores how CBT has become a successful and adaptable therapy due to its empirical foundation and discusses the need for continuous evolution to meet future challenges. The book also examines the growing scale of mental health problems and the associated costs of traditional therapy formats, leading to investigations into alternative CBT formats that can reach broader audiences globally. It considers the challenges of training the workforce required for these interventions and determining the most effective methods for monitoring their competence and effectiveness.
