Beck Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit established in 1994 by Dr. Aaron T. As the leading source for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) training and resources, Beck Institute has provided more than 45,000 clinicians from 130 countries with state-of-the-art training in CBT, the most highly researched and widely adopted of the evidence-based psychotherapies. In 2019, Beck Institute opened the Beck Institute Center for Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R) to train professionals and staff who work with individuals with serious mental health conditions. In the same year, Beck Institute launched an intensive CBT certification program designed to raise the bar for excellence in the field through training, mentorship, and feedback from expert faculty. In addition to professional training, Beck Institute provides information and resources for the public on these two forms of evidence-based psychotherapy and operates a small, in-house clinic to treat clients. The Beck Institute Cares website provides information and resources about CBT to the lay public.

CBT Myth 6: CBT is Rigid and Relies on Treatment Manuals

Where did this misconception come from?

Dr. Judith Beck explains how CBT treatment manuals play a role in treatment fidelity for research purposes, but should not be used in clinical practice.

Effective CBT should be based on an individualized treatment plan using the client’s cognitive conceptualization. CBT therapists apply evidence-based principles that have been supported by research flexibly and appropriately for each client.

CBT has been studied across a wide range of psychiatric disorders, psychological conditions, and medical problems, including severe and chronic conditions.

In this video, Dr. Judith Beck discusses the research supporting CBT with clients who have serious or pervasive problems and the importance of adapting treatment to meet the needs of clients who may need more intensive care, longer treatment, or coordination with other providers.

CBT Myth 4: CBT Ignores People’s Emotions

In this video, Dr. Judith Beck shares several ways that CBT therapists help clients understand, experience, regulate, and respond to their emotions. CBT therapists recognize that some degree of negative emotion is a normal part of life. The goal isn’t to eliminate negative emotions, but help clients respond to emotions in ways that support their goals, values, and overall wellbeing.

Watch the video to learn more about the role of emotions in CBT.
