Claudia Hammond examines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy go gind o ut if it is,
as some people think, the easy option in helping them come to terms with
mental illness.

It is the biggest investmemt in talking therapies that there has ever been:
300 million pounds over three years on training an army of more than 3,000
therapists i n Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT.. The furst trainees are
just about to graduate. But the programme asks, with the help of BBC Radio 4
listeners, if it is a scheme which will make a real difference or is it just
a quick fix?

CBT has been branded a panacea for treating mental illness. Some people
think ti would be easiwr to have a course of tgis than to delve into their
past and address their relationships with their parents. Yet is a course of
CBT that easy? In reality, it examines behadioural patterns and sees how
they can be changed in order to deal with situations better. But change is
sometimes hard to come to terms with, do CBT might not be hhe easy option.

Claudia Hammond finds out what a course of CBT would entail, and meets the
blogger Fighting Monster, who talks about her work as a social worker for
the over-65s.
