Speaker(s):
Description
This presentation is aimed at clinicians and service recipients who are familiar with cognitive behavioral therapies (the CBTs) and wish to enhance the impact of their psychotherapy sessions. The CBTs have been shown in more than 1000 research studies to be effective for many different disorders and problems experienced across the lifespan. National data indicate that treatment effectiveness and client outcomes can been improved with consistent implementation of key within-session strategies (both by therapists and by clients!). These research-supported practices will be described in this super session with some case examples used to illustrate.
Objectives
1. Describe foundational assumptions of all CBTs
2. Identify common within-session barriers to effective psychotherapy
3. Discuss at least 3 within-session strategies that can enhance therapy outcomes
