Evaluate the ethical issues of CBT WithCorrect Answers.
Suitable for all? Answer - P: CBT may not be suitable for those who are suffering with
mental illnesses.
E: For example CBT may damage the self-esteem of a patients as the therapist is
actually judging that their thoughts are irrational- this is actually a subjective judgement
from the therapist.
E: Meaning that the client could feel that they must change these thoughts, but the
thoughts may not actually be that irrational.
Cost Answer - P: The costs of CBT raises issues with ethics due to the limited access.
E: For example, Most CBT courses require a minimum of 6 sessions, with the average
being 10-12 sessions. The cost of a single session is between £40-80, depending on
the area.
E: This means that CBT may not be available to all based on finances. Is it fair, that not
all of those who suffer with mental health issues have access to effective treatment?
Patient Blame Answer - P: CBT places blame onto the patients because the cognitive
approach assumes that the client is responsible for their disorder. This could be a
positive thing as it empowers the clients to change the way they think (freewill).
E: For example, important situational factors may be overlooked which are contributing
to their disorder, such as family problems, life changing events.
E: Therefore, 'blaming' the individual for the way they think/feel/behave isn't necessarily
helpful because it may take other aspects of life to change in order to help them feel
better.
Conclusion Answer - In conclusion, CBT has ethical issues such as patient blame, the
overall cost of CBT which makes it inaccessible to the majority of the population and
CBT may not be suitable for people who are suffering from mental illnesses.
