AbstractCognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an empirically grounded approach which typically relies on formulation to guide the shape and course of therapy. Cognitive formulation is widely advocated but poorly understood at an empirical level. This study aimed to characterize how clinicians understand the structure and uses of formulation and how they report on using it in their clinical practice relative to an expert reference group. A total of 124 clinicians in routine clinical practice completed a questionnaire, which assessed their clinical use and understanding of formulation. For some aspects of the questionnaire a comparison with a reference group, 15 highly specialist CBT therapists, was used. High levels of self-rated expertise were noted and at levels comparable to that of the highly specialist group. Participants rated themselves as less capable in terms of their formulation skills relative to their self-rating in CBT overall. Formulation is typically rated as important by those with some professional commitment to CBT. There may be some gaps in the way formulation is applied in clinical practice that should be addressed at the level of training and supervision.

Reliable Assessment

BackgroundPostgraduate courses on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) assess various competencies using essays, case studies and audiotapes or videotapes of clinical workAimsTo evaluate how reliably a well-established postgraduate course assesses CBT competenciesMethodData were collected on two cohorts of trainees (n=52). Two examiners marked trainees on: (a) two videotapes of clinical practice; (b) two case studies; and (c) three essaysResultsEssay examinations were more reliable than case studies, which in turn were more reliable than videotaped assessments. The reliability of the latter two assessments was considerably lower than that commonly expected of high-stakes examinations. To assess reliably standard CBT competencies, postgraduate courses would need to examine about 5 essays, 12 case studies and 19 videotapesConclusionsReliable assessment of standard competencies is complex and resource intensive. There would need to be a marked increase in the number of samples of clinical work assessed to be able to make reliable judgements about proficiency

Treatment Package

The findings from this study indicate that group cognitive behavioural therapy combined with mood stabilizing medications was effective for some of the participants. Standard measures were used to monitor changes systematically and regularly. Self reports from participants suggested that they found the therapy useful and acceptable. The approach taken seems worth extending to a larger number of participants in a controlled trial, but meanwhile a detailed description of the treatment package is given, for wider dissemination of the methods.

Reductionist Approach

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critique the current manner in which cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is delivered, with a focus on the impact of evidence-based practice. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based upon the experiences, ideas and clinical practice of the authors. Findings The reductionist approach based on psychiatric diagnosis is put forward as the mechanism by which CBT has gradually lost its status as a form of psychotherapy. Originality/value An alternative framework based on revitalising CBT as a client centred, problem-based and formulation driven form of therapy is put forward.
