The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) course is intended for students who wish to broaden their knowledge on using CBT with this specific clinical disorder. Though CBT’s techniques taught in introduction courses can be adapted, this course draws a direct link to various techniques to treat PTSD. This knowledge will serve as a jumping off point for students to apply both adapted cognitive and behavioral techniques in their practice.
Students will then learn to conceptualize PTSD and apply this understanding to different treatment techniques. Finally, students will learn about the potential treatment difficulties and ways to prepare for such.
