PSRI 8240 - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (6 credits*)
6 credits
Students in this course examine the historical, theoretical, and conceptual foundations of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Students demonstrate the use of case conceptualization from a CBT perspective. They integrate and apply CBT's therapeutic skills and techniques to life problems and mental health disorders. Students analyze the appropriateness of using CBT with diverse populations and using teletherapy, discussed within the context of ethical responsibility and empirically supported interventions. During the in-residence portion of the class, students demonstrate and apply CBT techniques and develop a case write-up.
This course is provided in-residence, which means that students divide their time between online activities and activities completed in-residence, with most of the instruction occurring face-to-face during the in-residence class meetings. This format allows the student to integrate the online didactic learning experience with hands on skills demonstration.
