Beyond the basics of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Judith Beck

26 Apr 2023

Introduction

Do you have clients who become angry at you, fail to complete their Action Plans (homework), arrive late or miss sessions completely, lie or withhold important information from you, use substances to self-medicate, have difficulty regulating their emotions, blame others for their difficulties, or modify their cognitions at the intellectual level, but not on the emotional level? This list could go on and on. Using “standard” CBT may be inadequate to help these individuals. 


The event will be equivalent to 2.3/4hrs of CPD.

Content

In this workshop, you will learn how to conceptualize these kinds of clients and to plan treatment based on your ever-evolving cognitive conceptualization and client characteristics and preferences. You’ll also learn to use beyond-the-basic interventions (including ones from a variety of evidence-based psychotherapies) as you adapt treatment to the individual. Developing, maintaining, and repairing the therapeutic relationship and using a strength-based recovery orientation will be emphasized.

Learning Objectives

1. To specify and conceptualize challenges in treatment
2. To avoid and repair ruptures in the therapeutic alliance
3. To use strength-based and recovery-oriented techniques in the context of an overall cognitive conceptualization

Training Modalities

Didactic content, case discussions, worksheet completion, demonstration roleplays, questions and answers
