Sian Rawkins MD FRCPC & Molyn Leszcz MD FRCPC

                     ** NOTE: Date Change **

Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20, 2009 & Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12, 2009

CBASP is an integrative psychotherapy modality originated by Dr. Jim McCullough and designed specifically for the treatment of chronic depression; it is recognized in Treatment Guidelines and has robust empirical support (N Enlg J Med 2000; 342: 1462-70)

 

Learn practical, technical aspects of psychotherapy in an interactive format with standardized patients.  At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:

 

  • Recognize prominent maladaptive interpersonal behaviours of chronically depressed patients and appreciate the resulting clinical challenges and potential pitfalls.
  • Understand and apply the key principles and techniques of CBASP in order to achieve real change in the lives of chronically depressed patients.
  • Formulate and explicitly communicate transference hypotheses, reflecting salient interpersonal themes as they come to life in-sessions.
  • Utilize 'Disciplined Personal Involvement' to help patients become aware of their interpersonal impact within the here-and-now of the therapeutic alliance.
  • Apply techniques to recognize and reduce the risk of therapeutic impasses.

 

Suitable for supervisory faculty, psychiatrists, GP-psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, nurses.

Accreditation will be sought.

 

Participants can enroll in the workshop only or apply for the MSPI Certificate in Psychotherapy Program.  Certificate candidates (minimum requirement - 2 years experience as a credentialed health professional and psychotherapist) are expected to complete the workshop, and participate in 20 hours of one-on-one or small group supervision with an MSPI psychotherapy supervisor within a two-year period.  Study credits are given for all group-learning activities.

For more information and fees for the workshop, please review the CBASP flyer.
