- Treating depression using CBT and REBT
- CBT
- Therapist sets goals and instills more positive thoughts
- Therapist has close, friend-like relationship with patient
- Identifies and challenges faulty thought processes
- Helps patient to identify and challenge their own irrational beliefs
- Therapist sets goals and instills more positive thoughts
- REBT (ABCDE)
- Therapist is more direct and a relationship is unnecessary
- Therapist disputes irrational beliefs and replaces them with rational ones
- Intends to break the link between negative events and depression
- David et al (2008) Better treatment outcomes than those on drug therapy 6 months following treatment
- Suggests long term treatment
- CBT eval.
- Severe depression could make patient less active
- Requires DIY element
- Only effective when a relationship is established
- Expensive in the short term, cost-effective in long term
- Can be argued that there is too much of a focus on the relationship rather than the content
- Found to be more effective than drug therapy with lower relapse rate
- Severe depression could make patient less active
- CBT
