Cognitive Behavioural Analysis in Edinburgh and Online
Cognitive behavioural analysis is the use of analysis focusing on perception (cognitive) and behavioural outcomes. This is extremely useful in cases where the client is stuck in long term trends of hopelessness, depression and low function. There are a number of variations on this model including CBASP (cognitive behavioural analysis system of psychotherapy) and CAT (cognitive analytic therapy). Stuart was trained in a form of analysis which combined cognitive behavioural analysis and more traditional psychoanalysis.
What can cognitive analysis assist?
Forms of cognitive analysis are some of the most heavily researched forms of psychoanalysis and some of the research can be found HERE via one style: CBASP.
Combining ongoing medical support and appropriate medication from the GP with cognitive behavioural support has been shown to be more effective than either intervention alone. A study of the Keller (2000) showed success rates in a study for one or either treatment (antidepressants or therapy) in the fifty percent range, whereas combined success rose to over 80%.

In cognitive behavioural analysis the development of the client is seen as key, in particular learnt developmental lessons, ability to make interpersonal relationships work productively, learnt maladaptive behaviours and faulty perceptions or interpretations.
A range of mental health conditions are seen as relating to depression and development, such as Bipolar, severe anxiety and other mood disorders.
What do I need to do to receive cognitive behavioural analysis?
Since the Keller study has indicated that the best outcomes come from joint meditation and therapy, clients are strongly advised to maintain good contact with their medical doctor and maintain appropriate medication as prescribed by their medical professional.
