What is CBT?
- cognitive behavioral therapy is a collaborative, short term and goal oriented psychotherapy treatment
that offers a hands on, practical approach to problem solving - your therapist acts like a coach teaching
you how to be your own therapist
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a form of psychological treatment that explores the links between
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is a goal-oriented, time-based, structured treatment that is
effective for a range of mental illnesses such as anxiety disorders and depression.
CBT diamond
It starts with a distressing situation/trigger → which causes a person to have negative thoughts → this
causes negative emotions and physical distress → which leads to negative behaviors.
The Core Process of CBT
What we think influences how we feel. In CBT we can practice new ways of thinking. Learning is the Core
of CBT, it intervenes at the though or behavior to help alter the situational outcome.
Therapists function like personal teachers
Importance of Theory and Principles
Therapist
- skills and interventions
1900's: Theory over Evidence
,In the 1900's psychologists typically had a theory, which they backed with dissemination (treating),
which would then become evidence.
Evidence often meant anecdotes.
EX:
Theory- goose butts make good pillows
Dissemination- create these pillows
Theory- We got a 5 star review so we must be correct
2000's- Clinical Science
- Every cause and intervention is tested with the Scientific method
Theory → Evidence → Dissemination
- Evidence is valid, reliable assessments and experiments
Empirically Supported Treatments (ESTs)
- "Evidence-based Practice" becomes centrally important
- In 1998 the APA develops official criteria
Approaches whose efficacy has been demonstrated and documented through research that meets
standards for research on psychotherapy.
Why is psychotherapy research is important?
- Shows that therapy is beneficial to people in dependable ways
- Educates insurance companies about therapy and why it is worth paying for
- Protects people from useless and harmful treatments
- allows us to improve therapy and determine what works best
What are the psychotherapy research factors one can examine as suggested by G. Paul?
What Treatment (intervention), By Whom (Therapist) is most effective (optimal) for this individual
(client) with that specific Problem (target) under which set of circumstances (context), and HOW
(Intervention Mechanism and Style of delivery) does it come about?
Treatment Outcome Research

- Whether treatments can work under highly controlled experimental conditions and procedures (in a
lab)
- Effin' Casey the lab dog → "I have no idea what I am doing"

Outcome Research Designs
Single Case design
Open trials
RCT
Single case design
study that follows only one or a few participants over a period of time, with an emphasis on systematic
collection of data
- Vary presence of treatment and lack of treatment to demonstrate change in a few cases (no TX → TX
→ no TX// did symptoms lessen, then increase?)
Open Trials
- No comparison group
- cheaply, quickly demonstrate possible symptom improvements and feasibility of treatment
---- can it actually be carried out?
Randomized Control Trial (RCT)
- A true experiment
- Everything is kept the same between conditions except the treatment
What must be controlled for?
Placebo effect
Spontaneous Remission
Expectancy
Therapist Interaction Time
Placebo effect
Experimental results caused by expectations alone; any effect on behavior caused by the administration
of an inert substance or condition, which the recipient assumes is an active agent.
Spontaneous Remission
Getting better with the passage of time without receiving any therapy.
