I will put them into some kind of order for you. 1. The most researched approach in all of psychology. Research backs it up as best treatment practice or in top three approaches for almost every single disorder in the DSM-IV TR that is non-developmental (ie alzheimers, MR/DD, etc) 2. Can be done rather quickly with lasting change 3. Fairly easy to learn 4. Works for a lot of people Weaknesses 1. Can be seen as non-person centered 2. Not effective for lower functioning clients 3. Some clinicians feel that it doesn't address other issues. That is just brief, hopefully it helps!<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, to be honest, there are a lot of strengths.
