Consequent upon CBT’s demonstrated success, clinicians and researchers have developed and tested a range of specialised treatment approaches that build and expand on the theory behind CBT.

Some of these include:

  • CBT for Insomnia (CBTi)
  • Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
  • CBT for Psychosis (CBTp)
  • Recovery-Orientated Cognitive Therapy (CT-R)

In addition CBT has also inspired a range of other cognitive and behavioural-based therapies such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)  and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

CBT protocols can be used in a variety of settings such as in groups, school settings, primary care and hospital settings.
