Overview of the training
The therapeutic relationship is recognised as making a significant contribution to the outcome of therapy, whether for good or ill, CBT training programs however can gloss over or neglect this important element. This workshop aims to address this situation by:
- Providing a rationale for the importance of reflecting on the therapeutic relationship in CBT
- Enhancing therapist self-awareness regarding the impact of therapist beliefs
- Presenting a number of conceptual models to structure therapist reflection on the therapeutic relationship
- Promoting therapist self-understanding to improve overall competency and metacompetency in delivering CBT
