| Istanbul • April 17 - 18, 2010 CBT Boot Camp Building Core Clinical Competencies Christine A. Padesky, Ph.D. |
Workshop Description
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers a rapidly expanding collection of therapy protocols
tailored to specific disorders. Learning these can be a daunting task for CBT therapists.
Fortunately, all CBT treatments involve core competencies (Roth & Pilling, 2007). Once these
competencies are mastered, it becomes comparatively easy to learn protocols for specific
client disorders.
CBT Boot Camp is especially designed for CBT therapists who want to build and strengthen
core clinical competencies as well as understand more clearly how these competencies
function as the foundation for all CBT protocols. By the end of Boot Camp, participants will
achieve greater CBT fitness in the areas of: therapy structure and alliance, client observation
and self-monitoring, awareness of safety behaviors versus good coping, assigning and
debriefing relevant homework, and use of guided discovery methods (such as Socratic
dialogue, thought records, and behavioral experiments).
Dr. Padesky also demonstrates therapeutic responses to common therapy obstacles that
often derail CBT progress. Following her demonstrations, participants engage in “obstacle
courses” which are exercises designed to help therapists apply the appropriate core
competency in the face of these challenges.
CBT Boot Camp combines innovative clinical demonstrations with participant exercises that
approach familiar topics in novel ways. Workshop learning is enhanced through live and video
clinical demonstrations, structured participant exercises, and comprehensive handouts. As
always, this workshop is infused with Dr. Padesky’s signature warmth, humor, and an
emphasis on practical clinical tips.
