CBT Reading List
Cognitive therapy is a goal-oriented, problem-focused, time-sensitive psychotherapy. The therapist conceptualizes the patient in cognitive terms and, guided by the conceptualization, develops an empirically based treatment plan which emphasizes cognitive and behavioral techniques to bring about cognitive, emotional, and behavioral change. The therapist’s style is predominately active, directive, and collaborative. Patient and therapist monitor the outcome of treatment using objective or subjective measures.

Where is CBT heading today?
Today, there is once again a tangible sense that we need something new for our field to better focus on the people we serve.
Linear protocols and top-down normative categories need to go into our rear-view mirror. Because of its decades of strong research, CBT is best suited to shift the focus of evidence-based intervention to biopsychosocial processes of change. At the same time, because of the breadth and depth of this agenda, we as a field need to do a better job both of working together, and of reaching out to colleagues who are not yet part of our common journey.
