Popis: Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is an approach to psychological problems that emphasises the causal role of thought processes and the modifiability of those thought processes. Over the past 40 years, CBT has become a mainstream approach to psychological problems and has also spawned variants that have developed from it whilst remaining broadly within the CBT tradition. However, the CBT literature has developed with little or no reference to the general well-being literature. This chapter will address the extent to which well-being has a place within the aims, content and underlying philosophy of CBT, as originally conceived and within some of the main developments. Well-being is represented to varying degrees and in varying ways within some of the more recent developments of CBT but there remains further scope for integrating well-being within CBT approaches.
