Module abstract
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in Long Term Conditions is a bespoke module aimed at practitioners working in physical health settings. CBT is a proven technique that can be used to support service users who suffer psychological symptoms such as anxiety, panic and/or depression as a result of their physical disease. CBT techniques involve adopting a curious questioning style that will enable practitioners to work collaboratively with service users to understand their individual problems and explore new ways of looking at them. Practitioners who undertake this module will engage in authentic learning through exploration of clinical case studies. Knowledge will be co-constructed collaboratively with your module peers during the workshops. CBT’s structured approach is time efficient and can be used in everyday clinical practice. Successful completion of the module does not allow students to work in CBT Therapy. However, the basic core CBT skills which will be developed and practised throughout the module which will enable practitioners to apply ‘CBT first aid’ techniques to their service users.
