Cbt The Correlation Between Feelings, Behaviour And...

Duckworth and Freedman (2012) suggest that CBT is a treatment that investigates the correlation between feelings, behaviour and thoughts of individuals. For Mind (2012) CBT is a talking therapy that combines cognitive therapy and behaviour therapy. It seems therefore that CBT targets how individuals’ thoughts, attitudes (cognitive processes), beliefs and the impact all these have on the manner individuals behave and deal with emotional problems. CBT is based on individually guided self-help principles and can also be computerised. CBT as a therapy has its advantages and disadvantages for individual users. Wright (2004) maintains that one advantage of CBT is the evidence-based techniques employed by mental health services. There is evidence to suggest that CBT as a non-pharmacological intervention (psychological) can be as effective as pharmacotherapy (medication) in the treatment of mental health patients and may be useful in cases where medication alone has not worked. There is no shortage of support for this position by Hall and Iqbal (2010), Sudak (2011) and Barlow (2014). CBT within a group setting permits patients to be more open since the approach employed by the therapist is that of respect and collaboration, (Bieling et al, 2009, p.321.
