CBT: Key Knowledge and Skills

The Course Covers:
...........................................................................................................................................................................

•  What is CBT? History, defining characteristics, overview of the major CBT techniques.

•  Early experience and schemata. Triads: schemata which interact with each other to produce
   depression, anxiety, etc.

•  Maladaptive rules. Assumptions and beliefs that work badly for people. What makes some
   rules maladaptive?

•  ‘Critical incidents’: often small events that trigger a chain of unhelpful thinking.

•  Negative automatic thoughts. Especially, ‘hot thoughts’.

•  Talking to patients in ways that ‘chimes’ with them. Key phrases to use.

•  The first session or two: developing a relationship and completing an assessment.

•  Diary keeping. Good diary keeping is one of the truest cognitive behavioural techniques.
   Why, and how to do it.

•  Video: the first session, the assessment and diary keeping.

•  Case conceptualisation: making sense of ‘what is going on’.

•  A typical session-plan for CB therapy. The seven components to an effective session.

•  Using CBT informally, in everyday interactions.

•  Doing something different. In both depression and anxiety, behaviour change is often crucial
   to progress. And yet is it very difficult to achieve: patients persist in doing the same things.
   We examine the successful strategies.

•  Cognitive re-structuring. Identifying hot thoughts and changing them, including using APT
   forms for the purpose.

•  Socratic dialogue, including synthesising questions.

•  Measuring progress. Available measures of depression and anxiety, including APT forms.

•  Teaching methods include: lecture, exercises, video examples, case studies and practice
   sessions.
