Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Challenging Problems

In this course, Dr. Judith S. Beck, President of Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Clinical Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, explains why typical definitions of cognitive behaviour therapy are too narrow and how CBT therapists recruit aspects of various other therapies into CBT treatments. Dr. Beck discusses the four steps that are critical to identifying and conceptualising specific problems happening in treatment, what can go wrong on the part of both client and therapist, and how to course-correct to repair therapeutic ruptures. Dr. Beck also includes a few words about recovery-oriented cognitive therapy.
