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 Obsessive Compulsive 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 OBSESIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER
This workshop will provide clinicians with the advanced therapeutic techniques to effectively make an accurate diagnosis, conceptualise and treat obsessive compulsive disorder using cognitive behavioural therapy. Particular focus will be placed on how clinicians can improve well-established exposure-based treatments which have been unsuccessful for certain types of OCD.
The course provides an overview of the nature of obsessive compulsive disorder, its clinical features, and how empirically-based interventions are applied in practise. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about recent theoretical advances in the treatment of OCD to enable them to deal with more complex cases such as those with pure obsessions or mental rituals.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the workshop participants will learn how to:
- Diagnose obsessive compulsive disorder
- Make a differential diagnosis
- Develop Case formulations for OCD
- Engage and motivate clients to stay and engage in therapy
- Manage comorbid disorders commonly associated with OCD
- Use various psychometric tools for OCD
- Correctly apply Exposure and Response Prevention for the different types of OCD
- Devise effective behavioural experiments in combination with other CBT interventions
- Develop advanced therapeutic skills to deal with pure obsessions
- Apply different arguments to cognitive restructuring faulty appraisals for sexual and aggressive obsessions
- How to deal with mental rituals and develop creative interventions to address them
- Overcome roadblocks in using CBT treatments e.g. using exposure, when clients reach a plateau, when other comorbid disorders may interfere with the treatment of OCD, etc.
