- Title
The Seven C's of CBT: A Consideration of the Future Challenges for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.
- Authors
Warren Mansell
- Abstract
AbstractCBT is now considered to be a ?family? of related therapies. Seven future challenges for CBT are defined and their relationships with one another considered. They are: clarity (shared definitions of CBT and its terminology), coherence (shared therapeutic principles and theory), cohesion (integration of individuals and subgroups using CBT), competence (assessing standards during training and personal development), convenience (accessibility and public awareness), comprehensiveness (applicability to a wide range of problems) and connectivity (links to other disciplines). Key issues concerning the fragmentation of the discipline and difficulties in judging competence are discussed. It is proposed that through improving the clarity, coherence and cohesion of CBT, there would be improvements in the remaining four domains, which would enhance its overarching efficacy and influence on improving public health.
