Across the globe, cognitive and behavioural therapies (CBT) are used
every day by a wide variety of health professionals including
psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, and social workers to change
peoples' lives. Since 1995 the World Congress of Behavioural and
Cognitive Therapies (WCBCT) has showcased the latest advances in CBT to

for CBT to contribute to the mental and physical wellbeing of people
everywhere. Topics covered include: - child, adolescent and youth mental
