Why Learn Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy?
Today, the mental health field is focused on
Evidence-Based and short-term counseling and psychotherapy for several
reasons. First, clinicians and treatment centers need to practice an
approach that is supported by psychotherapy outcome research.
In other words, the approach must work. Secondly, in toda y's
managed care environment, clinicians often are limited in terms of the
number of sessions they have to help their clients.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has always been
the ideal research-supported, short-term therapy, even before it was popular
to practice such an approach! The very instructive nature of CBT produces
long-term results because it teaches clients rational self-counseling that
they can apply not only to their current concerns, but to anything that
might come their way. CBT also emphasizes getting better, rather than
feeling better. When CBT clients are "better ,"
they understand
exactly why.
This seminar will teach you the basics of a very
systematic approach to cognitive-behavioral therapy. The systematic approach
helps the therapist know where he or she is in the therapeutic process at
any given point. Because many approaches to CBT are not particularly
systematic, the systematic nature of the CBT approach presented in this
seminar is very comforting and reassuring to both novice and experienced CBT
therapists.
