Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to identify the current state of dissemination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for several mental disorders, and highlighting some barriers inhibiting the implementation of CBT at the community mental health clinics. We send a survey form by direct mail to the entire universe of 6,265 psychiatric clinics across Japan and received a response rate of 16.5% (n=1,019). As a result, 37.9% (n=386) of participating clinics have introduced CBT in their practice. This represents 6.2% of all psychiatric clinics in Japan.
