Dr. Judith Beck helps health and mental health professionals of all skill levels expand their understanding of CBT in this self-directed interactive training. This course provides you with the history of CBT, the theory behind CBT, and a step-by-step description of how to apply the most important techniques to yourself and your clients.Essential topics include conceptualizing cases according to the cognitive model, structuring sessions, developing a sound therapeutic relationship, and collaboratively developing Action Plans. You will practice by using CBT techniques on yourself, to give you a greater understanding of why and how to use specific interventions and how to better explain the rationales and process to clients. Role play demonstrations, annotated transcripts, conceptualization diagrams, worksheets, and clinical roundtables with a panel of expert therapists illustrate the main principles of CBT treatment.
