  • Summary

    This chapter examines religiously integrated cognitive–behavioural therapy (RCBT), an empirically validated psychological treatment for depression and anxiety. The goal of RCBT is to explicitly use the patient’s own religious tradition as a foundation for identifying and changing unhelpful and inaccurate thoughts and maladaptive behaviours that contribute to depression. The chapter begins with a description of RCBT as compared with conventional cognitive–behavioural therapy, briefly reviews the research supporting the use of this treatment, examines five of the primary tools used in this approach, and concludes by answering some frequently asked questions regarding the use of RCBT in clinical practice. To provide the most effective, patient-centred and culturally sensitive care, it is necessary to work with patients from within a more holistic model that integrates the mind, body and spirit. RCBT offers one psychotherapeutic approach to doing just that.
