[Clinical cognitive therapy].
Cognitive therapy was originally developed as a short-term approach to the treatment of depression. In recent years, it has been applied, either alone or in combination with pharmacotherapy, to a wide range of mental disorders, from anxiety, eating, and substance use disorders to personality, bipolar, and schizophrenic disorders. In this article, how to use cognitive therapy for treating psychiatric outpatients will be illustrated. Also, clinical decision analysis, a quantitative method for synthesizing the best research evidence and the patient's preference, will be highlighted in the acute and maintenance treatment of recurrent depression.
