Within mental health provision: The reliance upon cognitive behavioural therapy has become too great – a discussion.
The National Health Service (NHS) has invested heavily in the promotion of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for adults with mental health issues. However, the efficacy of CBT has been under consideration, and questions remain whether the NHS is taking into account the individual needs of mental health patients. This study examines the virtues and disadvantages of the large scale adoption of therapy nationwide, across a variety of ages and psychological phenomena, and explores whether other forms of psychological intervention are overlooked in the NHS.
