UCLA's Contributions to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is home to one of the top-rated psychology departments in the world, and its researchers and clinicians have made significant contributions to the development and evolution of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).


UCLA's contributions to CBT

The UCLA Anxiety and Depression Research Center (ADRC) is one of the premier research centers for studying and treating anxiety and depression using CBT. The ADRC has conducted numerous studies on the efficacy of CBT in treating various mental health issues, and its clinicians have developed innovative treatment protocols in the field.


In addition to its research efforts, UCLA offers CBT training programs for mental health professionals. The UCLA CBT Intensive Training Program is a three-day workshop designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of CBT. The program is by some of the leading experts in the field, and participants can learn from and interact with other professionals.


UCLA also offers several clinical programs that utilize CBT as a primary treatment modality. For example, the UCLA Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program is a specialized program that provides evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents with OCD, anxiety, and related disorders. The program utilizes CBT techniques such as exposure and response prevention and cognitive restructuring to help children and their families manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.


UCLA has been at the forefront of developing and disseminating CBT techniques and training, and its clinicians and researchers continue to make significant contributions to the field. Whether through its groundbreaking research, innovative treatment protocols, or training programs for mental health professionals, UCLA has played a central role in advancing the field of CBT and improving the lives of individuals with mental health issues.
