Abstract

The article explored the experiences of psychologists in delivering CognitiveBehavioral Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of depression and anxiety in Jordan. To gain valuable insights into the challenges, strategies, and perspectives of practitioners in the field, the study employs a well-structured questionnaire to provide a comprehensive view of the CBT delivery process. The study involved a purposive sample of 30 licensed psychologists who have been practicing CBT for a minimum of three years and have experience in treating patients with depression and anxiety in Karak, Jordan. With the help of descriptive and inferential statistics, the study intended to contribute to a better understanding of the nuanced interactions between psychologists and patients within the context of depression and anxiety treatment, ultimately informing the improvement of CBT practice and patient outcomes. The study found a statistically significant variation in psychologists' satisfaction with the way CBT for depression and anxiety is delivered, with a number of areas that need to be improved. Self-care practices, supervision, and a supportive professional network play pivotal roles in sustaining psychologists' emotional and mental health, safeguarding against burnout, and promoting a rewarding career in mental health care. يستكشف المقال تجارب علماء النفس في تقديم العلاج السلوكي المعرفي لعلاج الاكتئاب والقلق في الاردن ، من اجل الحصول على رؤى ذات قيمة حول التحديات والاستراتيجيات ووجهات نظر الممارسين في هذ المجال، تستخدم الدراسة مقابلات عميقة لتقديم رؤية شاملة لعملية تقديم العلاج السلوك المعرفي، شملت الدراسة عينة من 30 طبيب نفسي مرخص يمارسون العلاج السلوكي المعرفي لمدة لا تقل عن ثلاث سنوات ولديهم حبرة في علاج المرضى الذين يعانون من الاكتئاب والقلق ، تهدف الدراسة الى المساهمة في فهم افضل التفاعلات الدقيقة بين علماء النفس والمرضى في علاج الاكتئاب والقلق، مما يؤدي في النهاية الى تحسين ممارسة العلاج السلوكي المعرفي ونتائج المرضى.
