Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis

This two-day workshop will provide participants with an introduction to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles that can be used in working with young people experiencing psychotic disorders. It will be helpful for a broad range of mental health practitioners with 2+ years of experience in mental health.  

This workshop provides an introduction to the application of the principles of CBT when working with young people experiencing psychosis. Cognitive behavioural interventions for psychosis have a strong evidence-base, and are recommended in most international treatment guidelines. However, this treatment approach often requires adaptation when working with young people early in the course of psychosis.

At the completion of this two day workshop you will be able to:

  • describe the rationale and evidence-base for the CBT model in young people experiencing psychosis.
  • describe the general model and practice principles of CBT.
  • complete a cognitive behavioural case formulation.
  • understand and practice a number of CBT change strategies.
  • describe how to work effectively and compassionately with people experiencing hallucinations and delusions.
