    Behavioral

    CBT is the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale (CTRS), an important assessment tool designed to assess the quality and effectiveness of cognitive therapy sessions. Mental health professionals, such as therapists and psychologists, commonly use the CTRS to evaluate various aspects of a therapy session. This includes the extent to which the therapist adheres to CBT principles, their skill in applying cognitive and behavioral techniques, their ability to develop a therapeutic relationship with the client, and the overall quality of the session. The scale may also include specific criteria or items that another trained therapist or researcher observes based on their observations during the therapy session (Pingol, 2023).
