Introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
This course is designed to gain personal and direct experience with the philosophy, theory, and practice of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Readings and lectures will address theory, assessment (as it relates to treatment), and intervention techniques. In-class activities will include lectures, case presentations, theoretical presentation, and therapy simulations.
The course will also address the empirical evaluation of behavior therapies and provide background in critically evaluating therapy research. Another objective of the course is to encourage you to think critically about your clinical work, and to do the same for the research literature that bears on this work.
Although this course will in no way provide a comprehensive coverage of thecognitive-behavioral tradition, it is intended to provide an introduction to this area of psychotherapy and to prepare students to further explore these therapies on their own and in subsequent supervised practica.
