Bipolar disorder most often requires pharmacological treatment as an intervention. Less than half of individuals with bipolar disorder are successful with just the pharmacological treatment approach. CBT shows positive results when used together with pharmacological intervention in treating bipolar disorder (Gregory, 2010). Bipolar disorder treatment benefits from CBT as it focuses on improving identifying distorted thoughts, improving communication and problem solving skills, areas that need intervention for individuals with bipolar disorder. CBT is effective in teaching coping skills to address times when symptoms are first displayed, but are not at top severity (Driessen & Hollon, 2010, p. 544).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to teach people to recognize and change their negative and irrational thoughts and beliefs (Corey, 2017). CBT methods focus on changing perceptions, beliefs, and thought processes to create positive behavioral changes (Corey, 2017).

Solution Focused Brief Therapy and CBT certainly have similarities, as they both focus on identifying problems and seeking solutions, but they do this in different ways. Despite their similarities, they are innately different approaches and have many distinctions. One main difference is that SFT often focuses on solutions to a problem, while CBT focuses on the underlying cause of the problem (Young, 2021). Both approaches attempt to provide solutions for clients presenting problems, but in different ways. CBT focuses more on identifying problems and digging deeper into the underlying influences of those problems (Wenzel et al., 2016).

Applying the standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model could present challenges when working with terminal cancer patients. CBT has generally targeted unrealistic fears and worries in otherwise healthy people with clinically significant anxiety symptoms (Greer, Park, Prigerson & Safren, 2010).

Using CBT with terminal cancer patients may present a challenge because some level of adverse thought is expected due to the diagnosis of a terminal illness.

This type of therapy aligns with some of the principles of CBT, such as focusing on thoughts and feelings and working towards specific goals.

It is believed the most influential model in treatment methods of depression has been Aaron Beck’s cognitive theory of depression (Beck 1976). Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely practised branch of psychotherapy. It was developed in the seventies by Professor Aaron T Beck.
