One of the most common and debilitating mental disorders in the U.S. is depression, and CBT appears to be highly effective in treating this condition. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients discover and change the thought processes that lead to maladaptive behavior1. CBT programs for offenders emphasize personal accountability, help offenders understand the thoughts and choices that led to their crimes, and teach alternative behaviors and thought processes. CBT has also been found to be one of the most effective treatments in reducing recidivism among criminal offenders of all types. The therapy is successful as it explicitly targets ‘criminal thinking’ as a factor contributing to deviant behaviour among criminal offenders. CBT also appears to be consistently effective in helping crime victims deal with trauma. And there is good evidence that CBT, in the controlled setting of a prison therapeutic community, can reduce the risk of reoffending.

For example, someone with a substance use disorder might practice new coping skills and rehearse ways to avoid or deal with social situations that could potentially trigger a relapse.
What is evidence-based practice in CBT?
CBT and Science One of BABCP’s core values is to use an evidence-based approach. This means understanding what evidence is available about an approach, and using what works best. This commitment to science has enabled the field of CBT to progress into many different areas with confidence. Criticisms of Traditional CBT Given the dominance of CBT in certain settings, it is not surprising that the approach has garnered its fair share of critics.

CBT promotes assumptions which may be faulty CBT instills the notion that your faulty or irrational thought patterns are responsible for maladaptive behavior and mental health problems.

What defines an evidence-based intervention?
Evidence-based health or public health methods and interventions are practices, procedures, programs, or policies that have been proven effective. The effects are clearly linked to the activities, themselves, not to outside, unrelated events. Evidence-based interventions are practices or programs that have peer-reviewed, documented empirical evidence of effectiveness. Evidence-based interventions use a continuum of integrated policies, strategies, activities, and services whose effectiveness has been proven or informed by research and evaluation. Evidence Based Practice Models and Using the Guide EBP is a problem-solving approach to clinical decision-making within a health care organization. It integrates the best available scientific evidence with the best available experiential (patient and practitioner) evidence. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the process of applying current, best evidence (external and internal scientific evidence), patient perspective, and clinical expertise to make decisions about the care of the individuals you treat.
