CBT evaluation Test With Answers.
cognitive behavioural therapy is Answer - an effective form of treatment for
schizophrenia
Kuipers et al studied Answer - the effectiveness of CBT. 60 individuals with "positive
and distressing symptoms" that were medication resistant were randomly allocated to
either a CBT plus standard care condition or a standard care only condition
after 9 months of therapy Answer - , the researchers found that there was a change in
the psychotic symptoms experienced in the CBT plus standard care condition. 50% of
the condition were considered to have improved with only 1 individual becoming worse.
in the standard care only condition Answer - 31% were considered to have improved
with 3 people becoming worse and another committing suicide
this is a weakness as the research suggests that Answer - although the improvements
offered by CBT + standard care may only be marginal it is significantly better by
standard care only
research which has investigated Answer - investigated the longer term effectiveness of
CBT has not been positive
Tarrier et al studied Answer - individuals who received CBT shortly after diagnosis or
received standard care.
18th months later, the CBT group had Answer - the same relapse rate as clients who
had just used standard care
this is a weakness because Answer - The effects of CBT are short lived and therefore
CBT will only help the patient with schizophrenia for a short amount of time. It is not a
long term treatment for treating schizophrenia.
One ethical strength is CBT has Answer - no side effects compared to anti-psychotic
drugs
this is a huge ethical advantage over Answer - over antipsychotics which have many
side effects such as weight gain, tardive dyskinesia

this is a strength because Answer - CBT does not result in the patient experiencing any
harm
