In this video from a recent Beck Institute workshop, Drs. Aaron Beck, Judith Beck, and Torrey Creed discuss the variability in length of CBT treatment. While many clients improve after 10-20 sessions, determining the length of treatment is a collaborative process that depends on the client’s goals and individual case formulation. Factors associated with length of treatment often include the severity of illness, personality, and level of support.
