Pros And Cons Of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

1. My poster topic is, “Can cognitive behavioral therapy aid people with eating disorders?” My partner is Daisha Roberts. After researching my topic, I found two references to support my issue. My first reference is an article called “Cognitive behavioral therapy”, written by a group of members called the NHS Choices Team. The group of authors work for the National Health Service for the United Kingdom Government. The authors do not hold a bias view. The article states both advantages and disadvantages of cognitive therapy. The authors are reputable because the website has been certified by The Information Standard. The Information Standard certifies information from all organizations with verified care and health data. The article provided information on what to look forward to if joining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an option. It listed both positives and
My second reference is an article called, “Four Drawbacks of Cognitive Therapy” written by Key Sun Ph.D. The author works for The Justice and Responsibility League. The author does have some bias views, throughout the article he blatantly states his views and position on Cognitive Therapy. Key Sun is a reputable author because he is a professional psychologist and social worker. He has also worked at both Washington and Bastyr University. This article was about how cognitive therapy can be an unreliable way to dealing with medical problems. It states the misinterpretation cognitive therapy may be teaching its patients. The source is not as current as it should be. It was posted on Mar 02, 2009. The information does seem to be current, since there has not been much recent studies to do any updates. This reference provides a lot of details and is very thorough with them. This article is one sided. It only represents the side disproving the benefits of Cognitive Therapy. The source seems to be very reliable because the author has a professional background and career in what he was writing.
