ABCT is seeking its next Web Editor for a 3-year term (starting in January 2027). The position is funded with an honorarium. The role principally involves developing content for the website, encouraging user engagement and interest, and reviewing the site and navigational structure to ensure it remains best suited to our audiences.

Technological knowledge is less essential, and the Web Editor is not expected to post to the site or otherwise take on the function of a web master.

Web Page Mission Statement

The website serves a central function as the public face of ABCT. As such, it has core functions linked to the mission and goals of the organization: facilitating the appropriate utilization and growth of CBT and serving as a resource and information source for matters related to CBT.

Information and resources are directed toward three groups:

  • Members
  • Nonmember Professionals
  • Consumers

In striving to ensure this platform continues to be a trusted foundational resource for all of our constituents, the Web Editor may liaise with associate editors, journal editors, committees, and SIGs for content, which may include:

  • Recent research findings
  • CBT in the news
  • Diagnosis-specific information
  • Efficacy information
  • Training
  • The “feel” of cognitive-behavioral treatment
  • Resources for professionals, students, help-seeking public, media
  • CBT curricula

How to Apply

A vision statement is due by June 12, 2026.

Please contact Stephanie Schwartz, Director of Publications ([email protected]), for more information and for the vision statement guidelines.

 We look forward to receiving your inquiries!

What Is Cognitive Behavior Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a type of treatment that is based firmly on research findings.  It places emphasis on changing your cognitions (thoughts) or behaviors (actions) in order to effect change in how you feel. These approaches help people in achieving specific changes or goals.

Changes or goals might involve:

A way of acting: like smoking less or being more outgoing;
A way of feeling: like helping a person to be less scared, less depressed, or less anxious;
A way of thinking: like learning to problem-solve or get rid of self-defeating thoughts;
A way of dealing with physical or medical problems: like reducing back pain or helping a person stick to a doctor’s suggestions.

Cognitive behavioral therapists usually focus more on the current situation and its solution, rather than the past. They concentrate on a person’s views and beliefs about their life. CBT is an effective treatment for individuals, parents, children, couples, and families. The goal of CBT is to help people improve and gain more control over their lives by changing behaviors that don’t work well to ones that do.

How to Get Help

If you are looking for help, either for yourself or someone else, you may be tempted to call someone who advertises in a local publication or who comes up from a search of the Internet. You may, or may not, find a competent therapist in this manner. It is wise to check on the credentials of a psychotherapist. It is expected that competent therapists hold advanced academic degrees. They should be listed as members of professional organizations, such as the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies or the American Psychological Association. Of course, they should be licensed to practice in your state. You can find competent specialists who are affiliated with local universities or mental health facilities or who are listed on the websites of professional organizations. You may, of course, visit our website (www.abct.org) and click on “Find a CBT Therapist”
