Beck's original book on cognitive therapy was published in the USA in 1976 but not reviewed in the Journal until December 1979 (139, 582–583). The review was favourable. A second book (Beck et al, 1979) was not reviewed, although by then there was a substantial and growing literature on cognitive approaches to treatment.

Psychological Literature

Jealousy as a clinical problem has received little attention in the psychiatric and psychological literature. Recently the literature on morbid jealousy has been reviewed and the concept placed within a cognitive-behavioral framework (Tarrier, Beckett, Harwood, & Bishay, 1990). The term morbid jealousy is used to signify an excessive irrational preoccupation with the partner’s fidelity for which there is no objective foundation. Normal jealousy can therefore be defined as a jealousy reaction occurring when the partner is unfaithful. Cognitive therapy is a therapeutic approach based on a model of psychopathology that identifies distortions of thought processes as important in emotional disorders (Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979; Beck & Emery, 1985). This paper describes a cognitive approach to treating the problem of morbid jealousy.

Treatment Of Depression

This paper describes a basic training course in cognitive therapy for trainee psychiatrists on the Sheffield rotational scheme. Cognitive therapy, as represented by the work of Beck and Ellis, has emerged over the past decade as a potent therapeutic tool, particularly in the treatment of depression. It is a structured, directive, short-term therapy aimed at eliciting and modifying the dysfunctional cognitions which are hypothesised to play a central role in initiating and maintaining emotional disorders.

Similarities And Differences

In the dialogue that follows, proponents representing rational-emotive therapy (RET) and cognitive therapy discuss ways in which they would conceptualize and treat various case examples. The similarities and differences in approaches are then examined. It was found that RET takes biological factors heavily into account, whereas cognitive therapy sees learning as primary in the development of emotional disorders; that RET focuses mainly on absolutistic thought, whereas cognitive therapy emphasizes faulty perceptions and inferences as much as absolutistic thought as targets for intervention; and that RET’s style is forceful and directive, whereas cognitive therapy’s style is gentle and more collaborative. In addition, the two approaches were found to differ in their goals for treatment: RET advocates an effort to minimize or eliminate the client’s “musts” and “shoulds”; cognitive therapy aims at moderating such absolutistic thought. Possible factors explaining the origin of these differences are explored.
