A Practical Approach to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Adolescents

  • 3708 Accesses

Abstract

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a popular therapeutic approach that has been applied to a variety of problems. CBT has received an incredible amount of research attention and empirical support for treatment. It has been widely adopted and practised as a first-line treatment approach in adults and adolescents. Thus, the importance of CBT in the field of psychotherapy is predicted to increase. In this chapter, we summarized the empirical literature regarding the efficacy of CBT for various problems in children and adolescents. For each disorder, we reviewed evidence for efficacy of CBT in six content areas as follows: (1) the specific components of CBT investigated in the previous studies, (2) efficacy compared among different approaches of CBT, (3) efficacy compared with other psychotherapies (psychoanalytic psychotherapy, family therapy, and interpersonal therapy), (4) efficacy compared with pharmacotherapy, (5) efficacy compared with a combination of CBT and pharmacotherapy, and (6) long-term efficacy. In addition, this chapter also looks at the importance of training for practising CBT.
