Role of emotion in cognitive-behavior therapy
Abstract
In this article, we suggest that the long-term effectiveness of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) may be enhanced by going beyond symptoms at the cognitive level (i.e., intellectual meanings) and expanding therapeutic focus to the underlying, implicit emotional meanings. Following a discussion of the state-of-the-art view on emotion in CBT, we present empirical, theoretical, and clinical evidence from cognitive science, experimental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience pointing to the distinction between cognitive and emotional domains of information processing. We discuss the role of affective processes in reorganizing emotional meanings and consider how CBT therapists can use in-session emotional processing to facilitate clinical change.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
