Cognitive therapy is fast becoming one of the more popular and well
respected forms of psychotherapy. In both research and clinical
practice, several advantages of cognitive therapy have been
identified. Cognitive therapy is structured enough to provide a
therapeutic framework for clinicians, as well as a theoretical
framework for clinical researchers, yet flexible enough to address
an individual's problems in a highly idio syncratic manner.
Accompanying the popularity of cognitive therapy is the expansion
of its application beyond the areas in which it was initially
developed and validated (the "traditional" areas of depression and
anx iety) to areas where validation has not yet occurred (the
"nontraditional" areas). We strongly believe that such broadening
of cognitive therapy should be encouraged, but that conceptual
models to guide the therapist and researcher in these areas should
be explicated. It is the purpose of this text to provide a
conceptual framework for dealing with select, nontraditional
populations. The idea and motivation for this text develops from a
cognitive therapy interest group in Toronto. All of the authors
contributing to this text are involved in this group. We represent
a group of cognitive thera pists functioning in a variety of
diverse settings, including clinical re search units, general
hospital settings, private or public rehabilitation centers, and
private practices. Thus, the diversity of referrals for cogni tive
therapy within our group is great."
