Diploma in COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY
"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts”
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapeutic model that aims to change dysfunctional emotions, ineffective behaviors and thought processes through a number of goal-oriented, and systematic procedures.
Cognitive Behavioural therapy is evidence based and has been researched extensively. In children or adolescents, CBT can be effective for depression, anxiety disorders; body dysmorphic disorder; eating disorders, obsessive–compulsive disorder; and post traumatic stress disorder.
This 6 month Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has been developed to help students gain knowledge and understanding of the cognitive behavioural approach to therapy. It will provide foundation and intermediate CBT skills and competence in the principles of assessment and case formulation, as well as the appropriate use of Cognitive and Behavioural interventions.
