The Use and Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy Cesitli Psikopatolojilerde Kullanimi ve Etkileri

Cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy (CBASP) is a cognitive behavioral psychotherapy developed for the treatment of chronic depression and shown to be effective in controlled studies. CBASP suggests that the thought structure of an individual with chronic depression is stuck in Piaget's cognitive developmental stages of preoperational thinking. It has been argued that there are some similarities between chronically depressed individuals and pre-operational children in terms of their thinking. The goal of treatment is to elevate preoperational thinking to more advanced cognitive stages and to help individuals develop coping patterns, skills in interpersonal relationships, and effective communication that will help them understand the consequences of their behavior. Since the theory was specifically developed for chronic depression, most studies have been conducted in this field, but there are opinions that the general principles of CBASP can be applied to other psychological disorders other than chronic depression by making some changes to the model. CBASP's basic techniques of situation and interpersonal discriminant analysis can be adapted to the treatment of other psychological problems, such as bipolar depression, childhood depression, personality disorders, marital conflict, and chronic depression. This study aims to review the research on the effect of CBASP on chronic depression and other nondepressive psychopathologies.
