DESCRIPTION

Treating psychiatric problems can be challenging; fortunately there are effective psychotherapies that can help. Cognitive therapy is an empirically validated treatment, which has shown itself to be as effective as antidepressant and anti-panic medication in a number of controlled studies conducted worldwide. The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Clinic at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health is one of the few centres in Canada devoted to CBT treatment and training.
In cognitive therapy, people explore and identify how attitudes, beliefs, expectations and automatic thoughts can produce and maintain unpleasant moods. The first step towards change involves becoming aware of self-defeating thinking styles and behavioural patterns. The next step involves experimenting with new ways of looking at things and/or trying out new patterns of behaviour. The focus in this short-term treatment is on the here and now.

The book Mind Over Mood is included in the registration fee.

This CBT Summer Institute can be taken alone; however, it also qualifies as the first part of the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Certificate Program or the Primary Mental Health Care Certificate Program from the University of Toronto. For more information on the certificate programs, contact Sia.Maro@uhn.on.ca or 416 603-5734.
