We review Bandura's contributions to cognitive-behavioural theory, research and practice. His basic research on the causal role of cognitive processes in social learning was a major factor in the emergence of cognitive-behavioural therapies in the 1970s.His investigations on observational learning and self-efficacy beliefs led to the development of guided mastery therapy, a specific cognitive ...
