  • this was very practical and dr. beck seems very nice

  • @MegaPsychgirl Yes, CBT has been shown to be the most empirically supported treatment for a wide number of issues. BUT, that judgment of a therapy relies solely on the current state of our research methodology for outcome studies. Here's a thought, maybe there are things that we cannot yet accurately measure. Maybe you should go back to school and learn a bit about the limitations of empirically supported treatments...

  • brilliant video some very interesting points

  • Cbt is pushed by politicians and self serving 'therapists' because its cheap and no-one has to measure long term outcomes. Fact is meditating is cheaper and is being shown to be effective. Doctors push drugs for drug companys who tell politicians what to do. The public pays the bills and takes the side effects. Here's the truth. Meddled with hospital births, bad parenting, advanced capitalism and the nature of our minds cause mental health problems and discontentment. Anybody care enough to say

  • CBT is not a "cure". No treatment is a cure. However, it is indeed documented in scientific journals that CBT is more effective in treating anxiety and depression than other modes of talk therapy. In addition, while hormonal imbalances may need medication to support, CBT helps you manage the emotions and thoughts regardless of the root of the problem. The depressed mood may not go away without medication, but CBT can help you manage better when the mood onset happens.

  • Or you could check if the client was oh lets see.... abused, have a drug dependence, in a dynamically damaging family, been exposed to murder, been in foster care their entire life, have a anti-social personality, have schizo-affective disorder, have....well hey I am sure if you give them a vitamin supplement with the extras they won't need to come back either. Ok, that was a bit harsh, health does play a role, but lets not talk with such 'all-or-nothing' (cbt term) thinking, it isn't the do all

  • @MegaPsychgirl There are a few things wrong with your reply; however, I do understand your frustration concerning ignorance and 'new-age' therapies. My contention is with the statement that CBT is the preferred method. This statement is too vague, as CBT is not always effective or even efficacious for some type of mental health issues. Additionally, empirically based does not mean it will always be an evidenced based practice; 2 other main components missing are client and therapist experience.

  • 1:30 "One of the first things we have to do is BLAH!

    One of the first things you should do is check omega6-3 ratio, check diet for excitotoxins and inflammatory foods if you really want to help your patient. Oh ya you want your patient to come back for 3 thirty minute sessions for $250. Oh ya forget about diet. Keep focusing on those distortions in there thinking that will guarantee them coming back! Tell them to keep eating lots of sugar to keep them awake during your session.

  • @annomynouse say again?
