Integrated CBT Treatment Techniques for Depression, Suicidal Ideations, & Other Co-Morbid Conditions – David M. Pratt

Integrated CBT Treatment Techniques for Depression, Suicidal Ideations, & Other Co-Morbid Conditions – David M. PrattEnhance Your Skills and Improve Outcomes with Depressed and Suicidal ClientsThe ongoing treatment of the depressed and suicidal client is an enormous clinical challenge. Clinicians often state that they feel well-trained in assessing and intervening when their clients initially have suicidal ideations, but feel at a loss when the client returns for treatment, still depressed, and possibly still suicidal.Dr. David Pratt has worked with this challenging population for over 35 years and brings his expertise to share practical CBT techniques for clinicians to use with their depressed and suicidal clients. He will help you integrate “Third Wave” CBT Therapies such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with “First and Second Wave” CBT therapies you may already be using. In addition, he will share practical interventions you can use for on-going depression and suicidal ideation, as well as evidence-based treatments for other common co-morbid conditions such as anxiety disorders and PTSD.Compare and contrast “first wave” vs. “second wave” approaches as it relates to case conceptualizationExamine the intrinsic evidence-based CBT treatments for the depressed and suicidal clientIdentify recent advances in treatment for depression and suicide prevention as it relates to case conceptualizationDescribe practical methods to teach CBT skills to your depressed clientDiscover effective methods to integrate recent advances in CBT for depression and suicide prevention in clinical practiceDetermine how to integrate evidence-based treatments for common co-morbid conditions such as anxiety and PTSD to enhance outcomes with the complicated client“FIRST AND SECOND WAVE” APPROACHESFoundations of CBT“First Wave” therapies“Second Wave” therapies“FIRST AND SECOND WAVE” CBT TECHNIQUES FOR THE DEPRESSED AND SUICIDAL CLIENTEducation: The CBT Model and depressionMood Monitoring: Developing self-awarenessBehavioral Activation: Getting active againCognitive Restructuring: Healthy thinkingProblem Solving: Overcoming “Learned Helplessness”Social Skills Training: Essential social skills for relationship developmentWellness and Depression: Developing a healthy life style to overcome depressionUsing CBT Skills for suicide prevention and safety planning“THIRD WAVE” ADVANCES IN CBT FOR THE TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE PREVENTIONMindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): Mindfulness vs. MeditationTeaching Mindfulness Skills: Multi-sensory applicationsAcceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): The dialectic of acceptance vs. changeMindfulness self-monitoring: Enhanced self-awarenessMindfulness and Acceptance: Developing tolerance for distressful experiencesAcceptance vs. Change: Identifying and committing to personal valuesEVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENTS FOR COMMON CO-MORBID CONDITIONSAnxiety Disorders and Exposure TherapyPTSD and “Prolonged Exposure”INTEGRATING TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION AND CO-MORBID CONDITIONS WITH THE COMPLICATED CLIENTEvaluation and case conceptualizationPrioritizing treatmentTreatment phases and juxtaposing interventionsEnhanced skills-based suicide prevention and safety planning
