Description

The Center for Deployment Psychology will be presenting a two-day course in the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression on 14 - 15 December 2022, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Eastern

Registration for the course is $45 and comes with 14 CEs. (Please note the refund policy at the bottom of the page.)

Course Description: This intensive 2-day workshop will provide training for behavioral health providers in the fundamentals of cognitive behavioral therapy for depression (CBT-D), with a specific focus on working with service members and veterans. We will begin with a discussion of depression in the military, followed by an examination of the central principles of CBT-D. Based on this model, participants will then learn how to conceptualize depressed patients and organize the components of a standard CBT-D session. We will also highlight specific cognitive, behavioral, and problem-solving strategies to use with service members to help them modify unhelpful cognitions and re-engage with their environments. Participants will have multiple opportunities to observe video examples and practice intervention strategies through interactive role plays. This program content focuses on the application of assessment and intervention methods for treating depressed patients that have consistent and credible empirical support in the scientific literature (Beck, 2020; Hays, 2019; Kazantzis et al., 2018; Patel et al., 2019; Yew et al., 2021). Participants must attend both days of the workshop.

Instructional Content: Intermediate

Target Audience: For behavioral health providers who treat military personnel, veterans, and their  families.

  • Attendees must attend the entire workshop series to earn credit.
  • Role play participation is an attendance requirement for this workshop to receive credit. If you log out deliberately or do not participate during the role plays, that will count against participation.
  • Content in this workshop is cumulative, and attendees are required to attend and participate entirely to receive CE credits.
  • Please note that all participants must attend from their own account and not as part of a group sharing one computer.
  • A functioning microphone is MANDATORY in order to be able to participate in the role-play sessions.
  • Cameras will not be used for this workshop.
  • Please note that role play participation is an attendance requirement for this workshop to receive credit.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Evaluate the rates of depression in the military.

  2. Distinguish treatment considerations specific to a military population when utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D).

  3. Apply four central principles of cognitive behavioral therapy when working with patients presenting with depression.

  4. Differentiate between the three levels of cognition (automatic thoughts, underlying assumptions, and core beliefs).

  5. Categorize the three types of thought that make up the “negative cognitive triad” thinking style that characterizes depression.

  6. Develop an individualized case conceptualization for patients based on the cognitive behavioral model.

  7. Use information from self-report measures and clinical interviews to aid in diagnosing depression.

  8. Organize the components of a standard CBT-D therapy session. 

  9. Choose behavioral and problem-solving strategies from CBT-D to help depressed service members re-engage with their environment.

  10. Use cognitive strategies from CBT-D to modify unhelpful cognitions in service members.

  11. Apply the Socratic Method to guide discovery in CBT.
