Excerpt

When results of the first randomized controlled study comparing cognitive therapy (also referred to as cognitive-behavior therapy or CBT) with medication for depression appeared in 1977, the positive findings were greeted in many quarters with a certain amount of skepticism. Yet after an outpouring of research and wide dissemination throughout the world, CBT is now recognized as a core empirically supported treatment for psychiatric disorders.
