This paper examines the evidence for the use of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) within acute mental health‐care settings. Through the provision of a literature review the authors critique the research into the effectiveness of CBT when delivered within acute mental health‐care settings, to clients who are acutely psychotic. The review concludes with recommendations for future research to expand the current evidence base.
