Description: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an empirically validated form of psychotherapy used to treat a wide array of clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety and stress. In this introductory course, participants will learn cognitive and behavioural strategies including case formulation and conceptualization in CBT, identifying and modifying thoughts, behaviour activation and experiments, exposure, stress-reduction strategies, and problem-solving therapy. The focus of this training is for working with adult clients, however, Dr. Benazon also addresses CBT for working with youth clients.

Dr. Benazon will explain and demonstrate these strategies, as well as provide clinical examples. Participants will listen to prepared lectures, view video illustrations, discuss clinical case examples and engage in exercises to consolidate learning.

This course is not focused on a specific client population or clinical disorder. Rather, it provides instruction on a set of tools that can be applied to common and more complex mental health conditions.

Learning objectives:

• Conceptualizing cases from a cognitive behavioural perspective
• Applying specific cognitive techniques
• Applying specific behavioural techniques

Registration fee: $1,100 ($880 if you use code SUMMER20 before Aug. 19)
