What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & How Does it Work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is often considered the gold standard in the field of psychotherapy for a large variety of mental health conditions – but what exactly is it and how does it work? During this presentation, Dan Carpenter, PhD, will give a brief review of the history and theoretical background of CBT. He will also examine the data highlighting the effectiveness of CBT for a multitude of mental health disorders including depression. Dr. Carpenter will discuss how CBT exerts its anti-depressant effects mainly by modulating the function of affective and cognitive networks devoted to emotion generation and control. Lastly, he will address some of the barriers to receiving psychotherapy, such as CBT, and touch on new innovative technologies that may help facilitate dissemination and implementation.
