Incorporating Religion Into Therapy To Better Treat Depression, Jacob Tubbs
Incorporating Religion Into Therapy To Better Treat Depression, Jacob Tubbs
Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology
Depression is one of the most prevalent mental disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common treatment option for depression. Often, CBT is only effective at masking the symptoms of depression without helping the person overcome depression altogether; thus, it may benefit CBT patients if alternative therapies are combined with CBT. Incorporating the patient’s religion into therapy is an alternative that may help many people. A large percentage of Americans are still religious or spiritual. This literature review discusses methods of building a personalized version of CBT that incorporates the patient’s religion, or religiously integrated CBT (RCBT), and the effects …
