PSY 745 Cognitive and Behavior Therapy
The practice of evidence-based psychotherapy is essential for clinical psychologists. This course provides a thorough exploration of the history, theory, empirical support, and applications of interventions from three "generations" of behavior therapy to a wide range of psychological disorders. Traditional behavioral approaches emphasizing contingency management and exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral therapies to change dysfunctional beliefs and thoughts, and more recent mindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches are addressed. Critical issues in research and clinical practice are emphasized.
