Aaron T. Beck's Cognitive Therapy (CT) is a school of psychotherapy, conceived in the 1960s, that is celebrated by many clinicians for having provided the scientific antidote to all that was wrong with psychoanalysis. This essay situates the origins of CT in the crisis of legitimacy in psychiatry in the 1960s and 1970s, when, among many charges, psycho- analysts had to face the accusation that analysis was not adequately scientific. Beck actually began his career as both a psychoanalyst and an experimentalist. Contrary to common triumphalist accounts, Beck created CT to be a neutral space, not a partisan one, in turbulent times. Other notable psychoanalysts also sought compromise, rather than partisanship, to bridge the transition to biomedical science. The biographical approach of this essay to the origins of Beck's CT both situates him historiographically and articulates the complex experiences of a generation of psychoanalysts otherwise opaque to standard narratives.
艾伦·T·贝克的认知疗法(CT)是20世纪60年代兴起的一种心理治疗学派,许多临床医生称赞它为精神分析所有问题提供了科学的解药。本文将认知疗法的起源置于20世纪60年代和70年代精神病学的合法性危机之中,当时,在众多指控中,精神分析学家不得不面对分析不够科学的指责。贝克实际上是以精神分析学家和实验主义者的身份开始他的职业生涯的。与常见的胜利主义叙述相反,贝克创建认知疗法是为了在动荡时期提供一个中立的空间,而不是一个党派性的空间。其他著名的精神分析学家也寻求妥协而非党派之争,以实现向生物医学科学的过渡。本文采用传记方法探讨贝克认知疗法的起源,不仅从历史编纂学角度对他进行了定位,还阐明了一代精神分析学家的复杂经历,而这些经历在标准叙述中往往是模糊不清的。
