Abstract

Cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) is a highly influential framework of psychotherapy that holds a unique position in the field of psychology, claimed to be the most "evidence-based" and "proven" theory. This quantitative story of effectiveness and certainty has recently been challenged by a rising tide of qualitative stories of gaslighting, invalidation, and unpleasant client experiences with the model and CBT practitioners. This manuscript attempts to bridge this dialectic by exploring the quantitative and qualitative accounts within the greater context of psychotherapy in the Western world.
