CBT Skills for Complex Mental Health Co-morbidities
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
The workshop will review methods to conceptualise co-morbidity in mental health, prevalence, patterns and its impact on the outcomes of mental health conditions. A phenomenological approach to Cognitive behavioural therapy is useful to delineate and formulate co-morbidity. This goes beyond the formulation framework of most therapies and often goes unaddressed in teaching therapy approaches. The workshop also provides pragmatic decision-making approaches to addressing conditions based on functional impact and ease of developing the interventions. This leads to a pyramidal build-up of skills and clinical improvement in the clients. Attendees can take away skills to formulate and plan evidence-based treatment for co-morbid conditions with hands-on practice during the session.
By the end of this workshop, learners will:
Understand the prevalence, models, patterns and impact of co-morbid conditions in mental health with reference to the current literature.
Learn to formulate presentations of co-morbid conditions and avoid pitfalls in engaging the clients.
Plan interventions and become familiar with key skills to intervene with co-morbid conditions.
Become aware of the synergy between CBT and other psychiatric interventions for co-morbid conditions and how best to utilise this.
Pre-Requisite
This workshop will be best suited for those who have an understanding and experience in delivering CBT interventions and an understanding of common mental health conditions .
