Chapter 11 discusses cognitive-behavioral assimilative integration, and how the beneficial use of what many would consider non-cognitive-behavioral therapy (non-CBT) methods has raised the question of how best to incorporate methods derived from (or consistent with) humanistic, psychodynamic, interpersonal, or systemic approaches into CBT practice. The integrative approach described in this chapter represents the effort to improve the efficacy of CBT via a systematic and theoretically cohesive assimilation of treatment procedures typically associated with other psychotherapy orientations.

The integrative approach described in this chapter represents the authors’ efforts to improve the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) via a systematic and theoretically cohesive assimilation of treatment procedures typically associated with other psychotherapy orientations. The primary emphasis is on an integrative therapy for generalized anxiety disorder which, based on treatment and psychopathology research, has added interpersonal- and emotional-focused interventions to CBT techniques. Other assimilative treatments aimed at increasing the efficacy of CBT for a number of clinical problems are also briefly described. The chapter further illustrates how the integration of other contributions may be implemented clinically.

This article analyses the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for individuals with mild or moderate mental illness. We study the effects on sick leave, health care consumption, and drug prescriptions. We find that CBT improved health and prevented sick leave for individuals who were not on sick leave when treatment was initiated but had no effect for individuals who were on sick leave when the treatment was initiated.
