This course provides students with an opportunity to gain advanced understanding of psychotherapy approaches that fall within the cognitive and behavioural paradigms. Students learn to apply fundamental techniques to a range of clinical issues across the lifespan. The course emphasizes well-established approaches as well as emerging interventions that have gained prominence and research support. Basic skills are developed through a range of assigned readings and class presentations. Basic intervention skills are taught didactically and practiced during recorded practice sessions. Students gain experience in interventions aimed at modifying thinking, beliefs and behaviours. Integration of emerging approaches and techniques such as those that emphasize mindfulness and virtual-reality-assisted psychotherapy will be undertaken. Implications of cultural and individual diversities for application of behavioural, cognitive, and related approaches are explored. 13-09-2022-06-12-2022 Lecture Tuesday 01:30PM - 04:20PM, Memorial Hall, Room 104
