Cognitive Behavioral Assessment System (CBAS)

The Cognitive Behavioral Assessment System (CBAS) is a comprehensive evaluation tool used by mental health professionals to understand a person's emotional, social, and behavioral functioning. It assesses various areas such as mood, thought patterns, interpersonal skills, and behaviors to identify strengths and challenges. By gathering detailed information, CBAS helps in diagnosing mental health conditions and planning effective treatments. It is often used with individuals, families, or groups to gain a holistic view of psychological well-being and inform targeted interventions.
