Cognitive behaviour therapy treatment for bipolar
Live webinar February 19, 2021
Noah Lazar, PhD, C.Psych
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an empirically validated and widely utilized problem-oriented psychotherapeutic approach that examines the relationships between thoughts, behaviours and emotions. Interventions are generally targeted towards reducing distress through psychoeducation, the modification of cognitions and behavioural experimentation. Over the last twenty years, there have been considerable advances in applying CBT principles to treat bipolar disorder.
In the current workshop we will focus on a cognitive conceptualization of Bipolar disorder, common misconceptions regarding the suitability of this population for psychotherapy, as well as an overview of the treatment rationale and CBT strategies that are most helpful for these clients. We will also examine some of the outcome literature highlighting the effectiveness of CBT.
Learning objectives:
- CBT conceptualization of Bipolar disorder
- Application of monitoring techniques
- Application of behavioural techniques for depression and mania
- Application of cognitive restructuring techniques
