Is CBT more effective that other psychotherapies?
For decades there has been debate regarding whether CBT is more effective than other psychotherapeutic approaches or whether it just has more empirical support. On several occasions, investigators have reviewed the available research and have concluded that all psychotherapies are equally effective. However, many other investigators have looked at the evidence and have disagreed with that conclusion.
A new meta-analysis is coming out which concludes that the available research shows that CBT is more effective than psychodynamic therapy, at least when treating anxiety or depression: Is cognitive-behavioral therapy more effective than other therapies? meta-analytic reviewThis study won't end the debate but hopefully it will stimulate more research to help us determine which treatment approaches are most effective for which clients. |

Re: Is CBT more effective that other psychotherapies?
CBT is definitely an effective approach where you systametically identify, challenge and overcome your dysfunctional thoughts, behavior and emotions. The benefit of CBT therapy is that you can change the way you think so that you feel and act better, even if the situation hasn't changed. CBT is used in most traditional face-to-face therapy sessions and it has shown to be very effective since it was first introduced in the 1950's.
With online CBT sessions, the best part is you are actually healing yourself with a regularized approach in monitoring your behaviour. Nobody else can better know about you than yourself. CBT actually takes this into account. You answer your own behavior, with CBT therapy you can view your progress from where you have started. |

whatever the results of the meta study i dont think that the debate will be over. CBT is a tool just as psycho-dynamic therapy is perhaps the question shouldn't be which is better, but under what circumstances one is more effective than the other.
