ABSTRACT
This chapter notes that there has been a process of integration between cognitive therapy and behaviour therapy that has resulted in the generic model of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). This has been a harmonious integration process with only one remaining difference – on the subject of whether behavioural change necessarily involves cognitive change. The author argues that whilst cognitive change may frequently accompany behavioural change, a pragmatic approach should allow for the independent effects of behaviour therapy also. Clients examples of behavioural change both with and without cognitive change are offered.
