Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy in Mental Health - Live

Specialization in Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy in Mental Health - Live

This course was created in 1998, initially as an improvement, to meet the need for training in behavioral and cognitive therapy among medical and non-medical professionals. Initially, the focus was on anxiety disorders, but later the course included other psychiatric disorders as well as specific psychotherapeutic processes within the approach. This approach has been reported in the literature with proven evidence, and there is a demand among professionals for knowledge of this practice.

To achieve this, professionals need to specialize, given that universities graduate students with generalist knowledge without specific depth, and it is in graduate school that students specialize in the approach they intend to practice. It is not simply by identifying with the approach or using the techniques that therapists will call themselves cognitive or behavioral therapists; training and supervision in both theory and technique are required.
