I attend County funded mental health classes that use your videos quite often to get us to understand concepts and segue into into workbooks and discussion. You are very thorough and your content is relatable.

Can you do something about schema therapy and MBT therapy. Hi from me

[@Star-dj1kw]

✅ interesting video

[@Aka47xxx]

Mint!

[@ebony5076]

Okay, but isn't this increase in professionals using CBT due to its political power? Emotion-focused therapy is as effective as CBT, but I've seen studies showing it's neglected... To me, the most scientific approach would be common factors theory.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

can you do a video on transactional therapy? i had a therapist who did this but it seemed no different from cbt.

[@SelfHelpToons]

20 years ago I had a professor who liked transactional analysis so I learned a bit about it back then, but it's not something I've really looked at since. Transactional analysis focuses on social interactions. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors, which could include how we behave with other people which would have similarities to TA, but as far as I know TA doesn't use cognitive techniques and it's more psychoanalytically based. However I think almost everyone uses some CBT techniques regardless of the type of therapy they practice, so it's possible your therapy included CBT even though your therapist identified as a transactional therapist.

[@bugattirockband]

On the section, where you mention the percentages e.g 79percent is cbt. Were this percentages based on the 98 percent or the 2 percent

[@SelfHelpToons]

79% of all therapists. From the article : Participants were asked to assign a percentage value to each theoretical model, comprising their total theoretical orientation (equal to 100%). Then, the percentages for each model were summated across participants and divided by the number of participants in the sample. Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) was the most popular approach, that is, it constituted a larger percentage of the practitioners’ models when all the endorsed percentages were combined. CBT was followed by the family systems, psychodynamic/analytic, and acceptance/mindfulness based (in that order). When the participants were summed to include everyone who mentioned using a given approach in their practice, CBT was still the leading orientation (n = 1,940; 79%); family systems was the second (1,212; 49%), mindfulness was the third (1,013; 41%), psychodynamic/analytic was the fourth (885; 36%), and Rogerian/client-centered/humanistic the fifth (758; 31%). Only 59 participants (2%) identified themselves completely with one orientation. The rest either endorsed “eclectic” approach or specified the exact percentages each orientation informs their practice.
