The Doctor
is In: Article on Aaron T. Beck, M.D.
Illuminating
and inspiring. Full of facts on CBT such as:
 |
Beck’s approach
is upbeat, conveying a sense that, with hard work and determined
rationality, one could learn not only to tolerate but to stamp out
neurotic tendencies
|
 |
CBT is the most well-funded,
deeply researched, popular, and rapidly growing psychotherapy in
existence
|
 |
In 2005, in a pair of widely publicized papers in the
Archives of General Psychiatry, DeRubeis and Steve Hollon,
a psychologist at Vanderbilt University, reported the results of a large
clinical trial that compared CBT to a placebo and the popular
antidepressant Paxil in patients with depression. In the short term, CBT
was shown to be as effective as medication and, presumably because it
served as a kind of psychological inoculation, it guarded against relapse
69 percent of the time, as opposed to 24 percent for medication
|
 |
Since 2005, the
Veterans Administration ... allocated
more than $250 million a year to train therapists in ESTs in an effort to
cope with the influx of traumatized veterans returning from Iraq and
Afghanistan. All of these programs highlight
CBT
|
 |
In 2007, the
British government announced
it would be spending close to $300 million to train and employ 3,600
additional psychotherapists, primarily in CBT
|

The
Army’s new resiliency program
will train more than one million active-duty soldiers, reservists, members
of the National Guard, civilian employees, and military family members in
