The aim of the present study was to examine educational content necessary for cultivating capable cognitive behavioural practitioners. First, data were collected regarding the curricula of cognitive behavioural courses from 35 faculties accredited by the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). Second, the collected data were analyzed and categorized based on the British guidelines. Subsequently, 3 categories, comprising 62 items, were extracted, from which a list was compiled of educational content critical for cognitive behavioural therapy in Japan. The discussion suggests that, in the future, when educational content is being developed, it should be based on the results of the present study.
