INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR COGNITIVE THERAPY
CBT courses are offered by The International Institute for Cognitive Therapy, from Certificate to Diploma
levels.
The International Institute for Cognitive Therapy is now offering a CBT course in Social Anxiety.
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 SOCIAL ANXIETY
Social anxiety sometimes referred to as social anxiety is classified as the third most common Psychiatric disorder with only major depression and alcoholism having a higher lifetime prevalence. Clinically significant social anxiety prevalence rates are reported globally between 7-13%.
Social anxiety most commonly develops in early childhood and adolescence (Schneider et al 1992) and if left untreated follows a chronic and unremitting course. Comorbidity with other mental health disorders, particularly depression, is often reported with many misdiagnosed at first point of contact with mental health services.
Recent psychological models have proved effective in the treatment of this common problem with early models by Hartman (1983, 1986) providing the platform for Wells and Clark (1995) more advanced cognitive model.
This workshop will be highly practical and evidence based providing participants with a wide range of CBT interventions for the assessment and treatment of Social anxiety.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This 2-day workshop will cover:
1) Introduction to DSM-IV-TR (1994) criteria for social anxiety differentiating between the generalised and specific types. In addition, the DSM-IV-TR (1994) diagnostic criteria of avoidant personality will be considered.
2) Assessing for clinically significant social anxiety using Psychometric tools such as the Social phobia inventory (SPIN) (Connor at al., 2000) and the Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE) (Leary, 1983) scales.
3) A detailed cognitive behavioural assessment will be demonstrated to include the development of Social anxiety, genetic traits, family environment and life experiences.
4) A detailed examination of Wells and Clarks (1995) model for social anxiety will be considered asserting that an individual’s appraisals, attentional strategies and safety behaviours serve to maintain the condition. Furthermore, an individual case conceptualisation will be derived from a case study using the above model.
5) Treatment plans and interventions using Wells and Clarks (1995) model will be applied as well as references to other specialist authors Hope et al (2006) treatment for managing social anxiety.
6) We will consider current thinking in the field and examine individual versus Group treatment and how video feedback is an integral component of treatment.
7) A blueprint for recovery will be developed to consider longer-term relapse prevention strategies.
