INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR COGNITIVE THERAPY
CBT courses are offered by The International Institute for Cognitive Therapy, from Certificate to Diploma levels. You can read more about our Certificate in CBT and Diploma in CBT by downloading our CBT training programme here.
The International Institute for Cognitive Therapy is now offering a CBT course in Depression.
All our CBT courses are taught at weekends.
It is important for CBT therapists to receive training on a regular basis. Many professional bodies such as the BABCP, BACP and IACP require that practising members spend a minimum of 30 hours per year in CPD activities. This CBT course will provide you with 12 hours CPD.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL
THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION
Since the early 1960’s and early 70’s most Psychological interventions focussed primarily on behavioural-based treatments for anxiety disorders. Somehow depression was not thought the appropriate target for such interventions as it was deemed a more biological state and thus less responsive to psychological treatment. The development of Psychotropic drugs had appeared to confirm this theory.
However two authors Beck and Ellis released significant papers to begin challenging this theory. Beck 1963, 1964 (Archives of general Psychiatry) proposed new cognitive theories and therapy for depression. Again, in 1979 a publication by Beck et al (1979), Titled coping with depression proved ground breaking in providing a protocol for treating depression using a psychological model. Since this time numerous outcome trials (RCTs) have proven its clinical effectiveness in the treatment of mild, moderate and even severe episodes of depression.
With Depression affecting somewhere between 5-10% of the population with lifetime prevalence reported at some 25% with women twice as likely to experience it than men psychological therapies are proving an effective measure in managing this condition.
This highly evidenced based and practical workshop will cover a range of CBT assessments and interventions for depression with active participation throughout.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This two-day workshop will cover:
- Introduction to DSM- IV-TR (1994) criteria for depression including identifying mild, moderate and severe depression. We will examine Safran and Segals’ (1990) suitability criteria for treatment as well as comorbidity, prevalence, risk factors and associated emotions to depression such as guilt anger and shame.
- A detailed overview of Beck’s (1967, 1976) cognitive model for the theory and treatment of depression will be illustrated.
- Assessment including risk assessment will be demonstrated with routine Psychometrics to further aid our assessment.
- A detailed case formulation of how to conceptualise a presentation of a major depressive disorder will follow including the consideration of roadblocks to effective treatment.
- Current protocols for treatment using Beckian therapy will be considered alongside references made to other clinicians such as Padesky’s (1995) and Leahy’s (2000) treatment plans and interventions for depression. This will include how to do activity scheduling, tracking of negative automatic thoughts, setting up behavioural experiments and challenging core beliefs.
- Relapse preventions and Blueprints for recovery schedules will be considered including behavioural activation models.
- Current research including NICE guidelines for depression will be critically appraised.
