Description:
The purpose of this 2-day workshop is to teach participants to conduct the Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) protocols for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CPT is a very systematic evidence-based approach to treating PTSD, in which participants learn to think about their traumatic events differently and learn the skill of more balanced thinking. The training will include didactic, video recorded examples and interactive learning sessions spread across two days. The workshop will begin reviewing research that answers many therapist concerns; provide a functional model of the development of PTSD; review the biology of PTSD and explain a cognitive theory of PTSD. After this didactic information, the remainder of the workshop will be a session-by- session training in how to implement standard CPT and two of the variants, personalized-length CPT and accelerated CPT.
Objectives:
By the end of the training, participants should be able to:
• Describe a functional model of PTSD
• Demonstrate the difference between assimilation, accommodation and over-accommodation
• Understand the structure of CPT, includes the format and goals for each treatment session
• Identify and practice addressing common “stuck points” of clients with PTSD
• Demonstrate Socratic dialogue to challenge stuck points
• Understand of how to use the treatment tools included with the CPT Manual
