CBT evaluation Test With Correct
Answers.
What is CBT A01 Answer- - CBT uses the downward arrow technique which is a
questioning technique used to uncover core beliefs.
- It focuses on maladaptive thoughts and schemas.
- CBT is used to challenge the maladaptive thoughts and schemas and
- provides the individual with skills which the client can use in real life situations to help
them tackle their disorder, such as depression
What is CBT A03 Weakness Answer- One weakness of CBT is that there is research
that supports the effectiveness of Biological treatments. For example,
Geddes et al. (2003) WHO Reported
Drug treatment: 18% relapse
Placebo: 41% relapse.
This suggests that Biological treatments maybe just as effective as non biological
treatments and therefore lowering the usefulness of non biological treatments such as
CBT.
What is CBT a03 strength Answer- However, Kuyken et al (2008) compared drug
treatment and a form of CBT. They found that 47% of participants who received CBT
had a relapse over the 15 months after the course had ended, compared to 60% of the
participants who had drug therapy.
This suggests that CBT gave the patients skills for life that drug therapy could not, and
therefore shows CBT is more effective than drug therapy alone.

thoughts and records them, the therapist will later challenge these thoughts in later
sessions.
- The third phase of CBT is where the therapist helps the client recognise the illogical
thinking processes that produce negative thinking.
- Lastly the fourth phase of CBT is where the therapist helps the client to change their
negative thoughts by testing them out in real life thoughts and giving the client
skills/strategies to cope in real life
How does CBT work? A03 strength Answer- Hoffman (2012) carried out a meta
analysis looking at the effectiveness of CBT. They concluded that the evidence that
CBT used to treat depression is strong.
