Hi Paul
Thanks for that. I am very familiar with the Treatment Choice document and
in general terms it is very interesting. I do think that it is one of the
examples of the 'research-pull' to CBT given that CBT is the treatment of
'choice' for many presenting problems - according to the document anyway.
This is clearly for two reasons, (i) CBT may very well be an effective
treatment for many presentations, and (ii) other psychotherapies such as
psychodynamic and humanistic do not easily meet with quantitative approval
but are instead more qualitative researched. A prejudice within the
research community.
I was instead looking for literature that considered this debate 'in
action'.
Thanks anyway for your reply.
Andrew
