This web conference will identify and illustrate some of the essential means by which to deliver cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) competently. Regardless of whether participants expect to follow set, manualized protocols or conduct principle-based, individually-conceptualized CBT, this workshop will communicate the core components of effective CBT practice.
Special emphasis will be placed on creating good session structure with a flexible agenda, establishing an atmosphere of collaborative empiricism, utilizing specific CBT techniques both in session and for homework, and improving the therapeutic relationship as a value in its own right, using it as an aid toward conceptualization and intervention. Participants will learn to infuse these elements with cultural awareness and adherence to professional and humanistic ethics. The workshop will also describe and discuss some of the core values at the heart of CBT, including ways to openly communicate and model these values to people in therapy. Further, participants will learn the importance of using and practicing CBT methods on themselves and becoming skilled at self-reflection, so that their actions with clients are mindful, congruent, and beneficent. In addition, the workshop will focus on the ways in which competent therapists achieve higher levels of proficiency by making CBT sessions more memorable and inspirational to those in therapy.
