In Flexible CBT, you will learn how to:
- Increase treatment effectiveness by adapting the most current evidence-based knowledge of CBT to your clinical practice—for patients suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, and borderline personality disorder and combinations thereof
- Use CBT skills training and psychoeducation to help patients improve their functioning, interpersonal connections, and quality of life
- Actively engage your patients to promote collaboration and get treatment started in the first session
- Become adept at flexible, patient-driven treatment, rather than rigidly adhering to protocols that can be a mismatch for them
- Make clinical decisions to optimize matching of treatment interventions to the specific problems your patients are facing in their lives
- Teach your patients a core set of evidence-based, cognitive and behavioral skills CBT skills, including: identifying problems with CBT triangle of thoughts, feelings, behaviors; thought records/ cognitive restructuring; behavioral activation; chain analysis/ behavioral analysis; distress tolerance
- Incorporate psychoeducation into the treatment to inform patients about their condition and help them understand the treatment
- Use metrics to teach your patients how to evaluate their levels of distress and track the changes they make as a result of skills training and psychoeducation
- Evaluate your patient’s response to treatment using proven principles and guidelines to identify what is working and what isn’t
- Identify common functional problems that are often present in depression, anxiety, stress, and borderline personality disorder, to most effectively treat patients with multiple diagnoses
- Work with treatment resistant patients who have difficulty adhering to the treatment
- This pragmatic and effective approach was developed over two decades by Edmund Neuhaus, PhD, ABPP, while he served as Clinical Director of the Behavioral Health Partial Hospital Program and Co-Director of Psychology Training at McLean Hospital, the signature psychiatric teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School
- Dr. Neuhaus saw the need to develop a program to train clinicians in adapting the elements of standard CBT protocols to meet the needs of a wide range of patients that clinicians see in their practices, including those with multiple diagnoses, Axis II, and resistance to treatment
