About the Course

Major Depression and other mood disorders are frequently encountered in clinical practice and counselors and therapists often find these clients challenging for a number of reasons. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as an approach to treating depression, which was first described and researched in the late 1970s and early 1980s continues to be the gold standard for effective treatment of depression and has been shown to be effective both in short-term symptom remission and in preventing relapse. Some additional therapeutic approaches including Behavioral Activation, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Rumination-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy have augmented our therapeutic arsenal. Standard CBT and these newer approaches will be described and demonstrated in this training and special issues such as suicidality, anhedonia, and relapse will be discussed and strategies to overcome these will be outlined.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, CBT for Depression: New Advances and Standard CBT Approaches created by John Ludgate, PhD in 2024.
