ABCT in Consumer Reports

ABCT is one of three organizations whose therapist directories are included in a Consumer Reports article discussing depression and anxiety. The article, in Consumer Reports’ July issue, details anxiety prevalence (as much as 20% of the population at some time in their life) and incidence of depression (about 14% of the population).

The article notes that people are more likely to see more improvement when they visit a therapist at least seven times; and that the combination of drugs and CBT has the highest chance of success, and that increases after seven visits also.

To get to ABCT’s find a therapist directory, click on Find a Therapist where you can search by disorder (anxiety, depression, and 100 others), population (child, adult, and more), city or state.

ABCT has always received support and encouragement from its extraordinary friends, a diverse group that includes members of the Association, relatives and friends of our members, and individuals who have benefited from cognitive-behaviorally oriented treatments. The benefits to ABCT are many and are as diverse as this group of supporters. But what benefits does a friend derive from the transaction?

An association with stability and quality
Since its inception in 1966, ABCT has functioned as a professional, multidisciplinary organization that fosters the application of behavioral and cognitive sciences to understanding human behavior, developing interventions to enhance the human condition, and promoting the appropriate utilization of these interventions. Today, donors know that an affiliation with ABCT puts them in touch with an established organization that is synonymous with quality, leadership, and learning. ABCT's reputation is global and its future unlimited.
