Overview
This unit provides you with an introduction to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), which is one of the most commonly used therapies in counselling and psychotherapy. CBT has sound research evidence of its effectiveness and can be applied to a wide range of presenting problems. You will gain knowledge and skills in CBT assessment, formulation, treatment planning and interventions. Additionally, you will be introduced to other cognitive therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). The strengths and limitations of CBT and these other cognitive therapies are critically examined. Throughout the unit, you will be given an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of these therapies and learn practical clinical skills in applying them to help clients with their problems.
