Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis Orientation and Skills Training
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is an individualized, evidence-based intervention for adults with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. The primary goals of CBTp are to reduce the distress associated with the symptoms of psychosis and to improve functioning and quality of life. CBTp includes the application of cognitive skills aimed toward changing thoughts to improve feelings and behaviors, as well as behavioral strategies to help cope with distress and impairment.
About the Workshop:
The purpose of this workshop is to orient mental health care providers to the most recent literature on the cognitive behavioral approach to treating individuals with psychotic symptoms, to introduce a recovery-oriented model for treating psychosis, and to provide training in CBT-informed skills and strategies for this population.
This 2-day in-person workshop will consist of lecture, audio and video presentation, and behavioral rehearsals. Following this training, trainees will be able to:
- Articulate the rationale and primary goals associated with CBTp
- Understand the fundamental principles of CBTp and associated stylistic and structural components
- Develop knowledge of psychoeducation, cognitive skills, behavioral principles, and guided CBTp self-help
- Use CBTp-informed strategies to reduce distress and disability associated with psychosis
- Access high-quality resources for patients and families, as well as for additional self-guided learning of CBTp
