Abstract

NEUFELD, Carmem Beatriz; PAZ, Silviane; GUEDES, Rose  and  PAVAN-CANDIDO, Caroline da Cruz. Brazilian Congress of Cognitive Therapies: a history in 10 editions. Rev. bras.ter. cogn. [online]. 2015, vol.11, n.1, pp.57-63. ISSN 1808-5687.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1808-5687.20150008.

In late 1980, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) arrived in Brazil and have spread throughout the country. The Brazilian Federation of Cognitive Therapies (FBTC) has played an important role in this growth promoting Brazilian Congress of Cognitive Therapies (CBTC), which completed 10 editions in 2015. This study aimed to outline the history of CBTC and point its contributions to the growth of CBT in Brazil. For this, were examined the annals of CBTC, reports provided by FBTC and by companies responsible for organizing the meetings, meetings websites, as well as several materials such as photographs and personal notes provided by FBTC members, as well as scientific articles and book chapters that could help construct this process. The results show that CBTC grew along these years, with increased number of speakers, participants and presented papers. They also indicate intense participation of FBTC and CBTC in the growth and spread of CBT in Brazil. However, there is still much to be done to spread CBT, especially in the North, Midwest and Northeast of Brazil. We can say that CBTC are fulfilling its role of disseminating CBT, as forecasted by FBTC and by the field.
