Denial of the subconscious mind was a strong belief among CBT believers, though as they catch up to the neurological research done in the last few decades that makes this claim more and more laughable I see it being brought up less. It would be nice if this article had some coverage of that, it's a major part of their evolving philosophy, and there are still today CBT centric grad students coming out with a conviction that the subconscious mind either doesn't exist as the mainstream thinks it does, or has no affect on a person's behavior. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.57.57.220 (talk) 12:59, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Section on meta analyses of CBT for schizophrenia states "Several meta-analyses have shown CBT to be effective in schizophrenia,[34][56]" - only the Wykes et al is a meta analysis - the other paper is not and should be removed or replaced

I will be chipping away at fixing the lead section of this article. There are some slight, but significant confusions. One example, that I already removed, was the sentence that originally read, "The name refers to behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and therapy based upon a combination of basic behavioral and cognitive principles and research." This is not an accurate representation because CBT is not based off of principles and research. It is based off of theoretical principles and assumptions, and the research merely validates if these assumptions are effective in therapy. To a well-seasoned practitioner, this is miniscule. To a person with no Psych background, seeking CBT therapy for the first time, that would be significantly misleading. It's basic quibbles and nuances like these that need revision. Feel free to check my work and contribute thoughts as I work it through. I will also post a reply here when I feel I have finished with my revisions.
