Process-based Therapy (With CE)
$40.00
Presenter: Dr. Stefan G. Hofmann
Overview:
Process-based therapy (PBT) is a radical departure from the latent disease model of the DSM and ICD with its absurd proliferation of the protocols-for-syndrome approach. Instead, PBT focuses on how to best target and change core biopsychosocial processes in a specific situation for given goals with a given client. This approach recognizes that psychotherapy typically involves non-linear (rather than linear), bidirectional (rather than unidirectional), and dynamic changes of many (rather than only a few) interconnected variables. Effective therapy changes the entire system toward a stable and adaptive state by enhancing context-specific variability, selection and retention of biopsychosocial processes. PBT is, therefore, grounded in evolutionary science. For therapy to be most effective, we, therefore, need to embrace a systematic, assessment-guided, and theory-based approach to understand the relationships of the various problems of a given client. Functional analysis, the foundation of behavior therapy, provides the basis to understand these relationships. PBT acknowledges the complexity, inter-relatedness, and multidimensional levels of the problems in a given client. This workshop will illustrate how PBT is used to target key treatment processes by combining functional analysis with a dynamic and person-specific network approach.
Learning Objectives: Intermediate Audience
(1) Gain an up-to-date understanding of the core processes of CBT.
(2) Develop an idiographic, functional diagnostic system based on evolutionary science.
(3) Use functional analysis in conjunction with complex network approach in a given client
