Posted 09/08/2009: 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 Beck-inspired
methods.
