Process and Outcome in Cognitive Therapy

  • Chapter
Comprehensive Handbook of Cognitive Therapy

Abstract

In recent decades, the efficacy of psychotherapy and the process by which psychotherapy works have been increasingly scrutinized. Outcome studies have become more specific with regard to the disorder treated and the types of treatments used. With the manualization of cognitive therapy for depression (Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979), it has become one of the most widely researched of the psychotherapies. This chapter will describe the current status of process and outcome research in cognitive therapy. There will first be a brief review of the current state of outcome research for psychotherapy in general followed by a more detailed examination of outcome research in cognitive therapy. We will then examine the process research pertaining to cognitive therapy. Reviews of outcome studies will focus most heavily on clinically diagnosed disorders with less emphasis on analog studies.
