Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.

Edmund Stapleton introduced this idea in SPCOM223.

When cognitive therapies are combined with behavioural therapies, it is called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
