인지-행동 치료의 발전과정

Abstract

The evolution of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT) took place in three stages. Initially, behaviour therapy emerged independent but parallel developments in the United Kingdom and United States, in the period 1950-70. The second stage, the growth of cognitive therapy, took place in the United States in the mid 1960s onwards. The third stage, the merging of behaviour and cognitive therapy into CBT, gathered momentum in the late 1980s and is now well advanced in Europe and North America. Today CBT dominates clinical research and practice in many parts of the world even though there are growing interests in CBT recently in this country. Within the traditional boundaries of CBT, we can expect important progress in understanding and treating th full range of anxiety disorders. Cognitive concepts and analysis will be extended into general medicine, beyond the traditional limits of psychiatric psychology. Attempts to link CBT to progress in neuroscience will continue, but with more success than in the past.
