Dispute the common conception that CBT therapists do not value or emphasize the therapeutic relationship as much as therapists from other orientations.
What will be an ideal response?
Although there may have been some evidence of this among early CBT adopters, it is no longer true for contemporary CBT practitioners. In CBT, therapists and clients work collaboratively to identify, evaluate, understand, and change factors contributing to the client’s distress. For this partnership to work, clients need to feel prized, understood, and valued by their therapists. Accordingly, therapists need to be perceived as competent, congruent, empathic, and genuine.
