About The Seminar
Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to Treat Resistant
Depression
Depressed clients often pose a great challenge to mental
health professionals. The intensity of the client's distress
often is so significant that desperate professionals think
they must resort to more desperate "treatment" methods, such
as electroconvulsive therapy or antipsychotic medication.
The client appears to have no goals, no ambition to achieve
goals, or no hope of achieving them. The depressed client's
thinking tends to be very pervasive and very stubborn,
leaving the mental health professional quite pessimistic
that a successful outcome will be achieved. And if that were
not bad enough, there is always the possibility that the
client might commit suicide, and that fact lingers in the
professional's mind.
The first thing that will become
apparent from this seminar is that Dr. Pucci is not
interested in helping people to feel better, but rather to
get better. This seminar will teach you how to more
accurately distinguish between "learned" and "not-learned"
depression. Because depressive symptoms sometimes are the
result of physiological problems, you will learn "natural"
approaches to their treatment. This seminar will teach you
how to overcome your own problems in working with depressed
clients. You will learn how to engage clients with goals
that matter to them and how to help clients develop an
accurate assessment of their ability to achieve those goals.
You will also learn how to help depressed clients correct
their most stubborn depression-inducing thoughts, and how to
overcome their resistance to do so. This seminar will give
you a unique and powerful method to overcome hopelessness,
thus correcting clients' suicidal ideation.
What You Will Learn
This seminar will teach attendees:
Help your clients not just feel better,
but get better
Correct the most resistant hopeless thinking
Overcome suicidal ideation and stubborn low self-esteem
