How Effective is Cognitive Therapy?

Very.  Cognitive therapy is the most widely researched of all modern psychotherapies. There have been over 350 studies designed to investigate the benefits of cognitive therapy.  Most studies indicate that cognitive therapy reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety as effectively as medication, with lower rates of relapse. In addition, cognitive therapy has been shown to be helpful with the following disorders:

• phobias • obsessive-compulsive disorder • panic attacks • social anxiety • post-traumatic stress disorder • bipolar disorder • substance abuse difficulties • generalized anxiety disorder • anger problems • medical disorders affected by stress, such as high blood pressure, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, insomnia, and chronic pain.
