The Intermediate Cognitive Therapy Institute

October 4th , 5th  and 6th, 2012

The Intermediate Cognitive Therapy Institute is a practical, hands-on program designed to provide in-depth skills training in cognitive therapy through a combination of lectures, video demonstrations, skills-modeling, and role-playing.  The institute is designed as a follow-up to more didactic workshops on the basics of cognitive therapy.  The ICT institute is intended for mental health professionals with some familiarity with the cognitive model of emotional problems. Please include a detailed description of your CBT training with your registration form. The reading requirement for the institute is Cognitive Therapy: Basics and Beyond  by JS Beck, PhD.   You should read this before attending the institute.

The ICT Institute may be taken alone if you have had previous CBT training, but it also qualifies as part of either the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Certificate Program or the Primary Mental Health Care Certificate Program from the University of Toronto. For more information, contact Sia Maro at Toronto Western Hospital. Tel: 416.603.5734. Email: sia_maro@uhn.on.ca.
