E-book A Therapist's Guide to Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT builds a set of skills that enables an individual to be aware of thoughts and emotions; identify how situations, thoughts, and behaviors influence emotions; and improve feelings by changing dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. The process of CBT skill acquisition is collaborative. Skill acquisition and homework assignments are what set CBT apart from “talk therapies.” You should use session time to teach skills to address the presenting problem and not simply to discuss the issue with the patient or offer advice. Brief CBT is the compression of CBT material and the reduction of the average 12-20 sessions into four to eight sessions. In Brief CBT the concentration is on specific treatments for a limited number of the patient’s problems. Specificity of the treatment is required because of the limited number of sessions and because the patient is required to be diligent in using extra reading materials and homework to assist in his or her therapeutic growth. Brief CBT can range in duration from patient to patient and provider to provider. Although variability exists, the following table shows an example session-by-session outline. You are encouraged to think flexibly in determining length of treatment.
