This
skills based, distance learning, tutor supported course covers practical
insights into the methods and techniques of Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy (CBT). CBT
is a series of strategies specifically targeted at an individual’s
disorder. These can include cognitive therapy, relaxation, breathing
techniques and interceptive exposure.
People with specific issues such as panic
attacks, depression, anxiety, anger etc. are helped by teaching
them to control their thought patterns instead of their thought
patterns controlling them.
Who is the course designed for?
The course is of specific interest to those of you working in the healthcare professions and is also aimed at people in the broader caring and training professions.
You are introduced to the ABC Model of counselling.
This describes the interaction between the clients’ behaviours,
feelings and thoughts. You are also taught to identify errors in
thinking, and to challenge damaging beliefs your clients or patients may have.
Thus the aim is to enhance
your effectiveness in your profession by teaching you the skills and
techniques of CBT, through providing case studies, illustrations,
practical activities and assignments.
The course is
designed to be relevant and practical. It applies CBT to a number
of key areas. These include:
- 1. Couple and family relationships
2. Depression
3. Anxiety (and phobias)
4. Anger and violence
5. Pastoral and spiritual issues
The course materials
consist of 10 lessons, 5 tutor marked assignments and a textbook,
supplemented with suggested background reading.
