Cognitive Behavioural Therapy I

Graduate

This is the first course in a two-course sequence that is designed to provide a reasonably comprehensive and practical overview of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The focus in this course is on understanding the basic theoretical and applied principles of CBT and on developing intake/evaluation, case conceptualization, and basic CBT intervention skills. Supervised practicum will begin at the end of the semester based upon the availability of appropriate referrals. During the practicum, student therapists provide therapy and attend weekly supervision meetings during which recorded sessions are reviewed and discussed. (3 seminar hours a week, plus practicum.)
