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 Generalised Anxiety Disorder.
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 GENERALISED ANXIETY DISORDER
CBT is now considered the only consistent and empirically supported form of psychotherapy for Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). It has demonstrated the greatest overall improvement across studies, especially at 1-year follow up. However, failure rates can be as high as 60%. There are many difficulties that clinicians need to overcome to be able to help clients with this problem: One of them is the high rate of comorbid disorders associated with GAD. The emphasis of this workshop will be placed on identifying and preventing possible roadblocks which may hinder progress in therapy when dealing with this type of population.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this 2-day workshop, participants will have learned how to:
- Describe the important clinical features of Generalised Anxiety Disorder and their differential diagnosis
- Differentiate between normal and pathological worry
- Different CBT approaches to treating GAD e.g. Metacognitive therapy vs. Standard Cognitive therapy
- Complete an initial assessment
- Develop a cognitive-behavioural case formulation and treatment plan for selected cases.
- Use psychometric tools to assess Generalised Anxiety Disorder
- Help patients discontinue the use of reassurance and safety-seeking behaviours and other maintaining factors
- Apply cognitive therapy methods specifically for GAD and worry
- How to make CBT treatments more effective and overcome possible roadblocks
- Design an effective Relapse prevention programme
