Disseminating CBT: 50 years and beyond

2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the British Association for Behaviour and Cognitive Psychotherapies. To mark this important milestone, the two BABCP journals have commissioned commemorative special issues looking at the past, present and future of CBT. We are hoping to publish a wide range of papers in these issues aligned to the aims and purpose of the BABCP.

  • Background:

    There is wide variation in the problems prioritised by people with psychosis in cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp). While research trials and mental health services have often prioritised reduction in psychiatric symptoms, service users may prioritise issues not directly related to psychosis. This discrepancy suggests potential challenges in treatment outcome research.

    Aims:

    The present study aimed to examine the types of problems that were recorded on problem lists generated in CBTp trials.

    Method:

    Problem and goals lists for 110 participants were extracted from CBTp therapy notes. Subsequently, problems were coded into 23 distinct categories by pooling together items that appeared thematically related.

    Results:

    More than half of participants (59.62%) listed a non-psychosis-related priority problem, and 22.12% did not list any psychosis related problems. Chi-square tests indicated there was no difference between participants from early intervention (EI) and other services in terms of priority problem (χ2 = 0.06, p = .804), but that those from EI were more likely to include any psychosis-related problems in their lists (χ2 = 6.66, p = .010).

    Conclusions:

    The findings of this study suggest that psychiatric symptom reduction is not the primary goal of CBTp for most service users, particularly those who are not under the care of EI services. The implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed.
