| Welcome to CBTiSTANBUL Workshops! |
| Dr. Leslie Sokol "CBT with Difficult Cases" a 2-day intensive workshop with a focus on personality disorders in Istanbul on the weekend of 18-19 December 2010 |
| Abstract: |
Abstract: Over three hundred clinical trails have shown cognitive behavioral therapy to be a highly
effective treatment for a wide array of problems including such topics as: depression, anxiety,
personality disorders, substance abuse and schizophrenia to name a few. Cognitive behavioral therapy
is based on the cognitive model: how we think influences how we feel, behave, and physiologically
respond to situations. Regardless of the etiology of the problem, cognitive behavioral therapy stipulates
that psychological problems involve problems in thinking. The treatment of clients with personality
disorders and especially the Narcissistic, Histrionic, and Borderline personality involves not only an
emphasis on evaluating and modifying patients’ thinking and behavior in current situations but also an
emphasis on dysfunctional beliefs and their historical underpinnings. These individuals require
specialized strategies to enable them to make progress in therapy. Participants will learn how to form a
solid working alliance with these clients as well learn specific tools in how to help challenging clients
make the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive changes needed for improvement. Attendees will have
the opportunity to have both didactic and experiential learning.
Learning Objectives:
