认知行为疗法（CBT）目前的形式可能不适用于非西方文化。西方文化和非西方文化之间的差异已被广泛报道。心理治疗是在西方发展起来的，它的基础是许多可能只针对西方文化的信念。然而，为了修改CBT，我们需要了解与CBT相关的概念是否会在接受治疗的人中引起冲突。本研究探讨了巴基斯坦大学生的信仰，以了解支持CBT的概念是否与大学生的个人，家庭，社会文化和宗教价值观一致。与巴基斯坦拉希姆·亚尔汗的大学生进行了讨论。学生被告知CBT的各个方面的信息，并要求他们在视觉模拟量表上对这些概念进行评分。对于个人价值观的CBT原则几乎没有分歧，而对于宗教价值观存在一些分歧。这项研究强调了评估人们对非西方文化中CBT可接受性的信念的价值。巴基斯坦的学生认为，CBT的原则与他们在大多数领域的信仰体系是一致的。然而，学生的价值体系可能并不代表其他人。
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in its current form might not be applicable in non Western cultures. Differences between Western and non Western cultures have been reported widely. Psychotherapy was developed in the West and is underpinned by many beliefs which might be specific only to the Western culture. However, in order to modify CBT, we need to understand whether the concepts associated with the CBT might cause conflicts among people who receive therapy. This study explored the beliefs of the university students in Pakistan to find out if the concepts underpinning CBT are consistent with the personal, family, socio-cultural and religious values of the university students. Discussions were held with University students in Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan. Students were given information on various aspects of the CBT and were asked to rate their agreement with these concepts on a visual analogue scale. There was little disagreement for the principles of CBT for personal values, while some disagreement existed for religious values. This study highlights the value of assessing peoples' beliefs about acceptability of CBT in non Western cultures. Students in Pakistan felt that the principles of CBT are consistent with their belief system in most areas. However, the value system of students might not be representative of the rest of the population.
