Abstract:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy which leads to recovery in over 50% of patients with depression and anxiety disorders. It is, therefore, the first-line treatment for those disorders. In April 2010 we began a beacon project, called "Increasing Access for Psychological Therapies" (IAPT), in Chiba, Japan. In the Chiba IAPT project, we lead the cognitive-behavioral therapy training and provide individual CBT supervision, based on the system of IAPT in the UK. It is important to differentiate between counseling services and psychiatric services under the Medical Practitioners Act. To improve mental health in Japan, we will establish national standards for certification of clinical professionals trained in the science and art of CBT, and develop a law related to national licensing of cognitive-behavioral therapists.
