Briefly describe the two historical developments that contributed to the development of cognitive psychotherapy in the 1950s and 1960s.
What will be an ideal response?
Behavior therapy, practiced in strict form, did not always work. Behaviorists increasingly recognized that cognition played a unique and important role in human behavior, and acknowledged a role of internal mental processes. The eventual leaders of the cognitive movement—Beck and Ellis—grew disillusioned with Freudian therapy. They sought and created a new form of therapy that addressed symptoms more directly, focused more on the present and less on the past, and produced results more efficiently. Many others followed their lead.
