Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is perhaps one of the most frequently used psychotherapeutic orientations, with considerable research supporting its effectiveness and adaptability in clinical practice. As the name implies, CBT integrates the rationale and techniques from both cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy, taking advantage of their complimentary relationship.1 For example, as cognitive therapy seeks to change behavior by challenging maladaptive thoughts, behavioral therapy employs more direct, yet complimentary methods, such as pairing reinforcing stimuli with a desired behavior or aversive stimuli with an undesired behavior.1–3 While the efficacy of CBT has been firmly established in the treatment of a variety of disorders and problems, its history and utility are deeply rooted in the treatment of anxiety and depression symptoms.3 Aaron T. Beck4 is recognized as the father of CBT, and his theory evolved from helping depressed patients recognize their faulty automatic thoughts that negatively affect their behavior. In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, CBT aims to quickly resolve maladaptive thoughts or behaviors without necessarily delving too deeply into why they may occur. Thus, effective courses of therapy might be as short as a single session, or as long as a lifetime, depending on the specific needs of the individual.1 CBT helps individuals deal with their difficulties by changing their thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses.4
This report summarizes evidence gained from systematic reviews focusing on the efficacy of CBT in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders; that is, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, specific phobia, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder (ASD), substance-induced anxiety disorder, anxiety disorder related to a general medical condition, and anxiety disorder not otherwise specified.5 The report contains reviews assessing the efficacy of CBT on individuals diagnosed with depression and/or anxiety disorder and individuals suffering from symptoms of anxiety or depression who may not have been diagnosed with these disorders.
