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.
