Chapter 1.Introduction

Excerpt
The originator of cognitive-behavior therapy, Aaron Beck, described a case of successful psychotherapy for delusions in his first publication in psychiatry (Beck 1952). However, most of the early development of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) was devoted to methods for mild to moderate depression and anxiety disorders. In the late 1980s and 1990s, interest began to grow in treating more challenging conditions, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe or treatment-resistant depression. Specific CBT methods were detailed for many of the severe mental disorders (Basco and Rush 2005; Chadwick et al. 1996; Fava et al. 1997; Haddock and Slade 1996; Kingdon and Turkington 1994, 2002, 2005; McCullough 2000), treatment programs were developed for inpatients (Stuart et al. 1997; Wright et al. 1993), and outcome studies produced encouraging results (e.g., see DeRubeis et al. 1999; Fava et al. 1997; Lam et al. 2003; Sensky et al. 2000).
