CBT is an evidence-based psychological therapy with a strong evidence-base for the treatment of common mental health problems, alongside several severe and enduring mental health problems such as psychosis and schizophrenia (NICE, 2014a). However, without unsustainable increases in the levels of funding (Layard et al., 2007) it is unlikely to radically improve access to evidence-based psychological therapy when only available within a traditional high-intensity CBT (HICBT) format. Revolution not evolution in the delivery of CBT was therefore required, leading to the implementation of CBT in the form of supported low-intensity CBT (LICBT) self-help interventions. Whilst LICBT has been implemented within Stepped Care (Richards, 2010a) and alongside wider organisational systems such as case-management supervision (Chapter 9) within the IAPT programme, it represents a fundamental shift in the delivery of CBT in its own right and shares common characteristics.
