Counseling and Therapy of Patients with Behavioural Disorders Using the Cognitive-behavioural Approach

Abstract

Problem statement: The diagnosis of behavioural disorders and their treatment's success needs to be analyzed. The factors of its success should be specified and the future of CBT hypothesized. Research questions: What are the factors that increase the risk of behavioural disorder? What are the models and approaches currently used in their treatment and what is the effectiveness of CBT? Purpose of study: In the paper author will attempt to find answers to the research questions in terms of capabilities and effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy. Research methods: Literature review, including APA, models and theories, research analysis. Theoretical study findings: Current Research analysis shows high effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapeutic interventions. Described therapeutic interventions in mainstream cognitive-behavioural, and research on their effectiveness allowed the researcher to assume that CBT has a high efficiency in the treatment of destructive, aggressive and rebellious behaviour by using cognitive-behavioural techniques and strategies. Conclusions Future research on the treatment of patients with behavioural disorders should focus on important areas such as multi-component interventions, effective methods of individualization, identification and management of group processes. Considering CBT of patients with BD, as a successful one in a future, depends on whether the research results under controlled conditions will confirm it in a wide clinical practice.
