About this course
The aim of the course is to become familiar with evidence-based psychotherapy treatments (EBT) and in doing so to help add to your 'toolbox' of psychotherapeutic techniques. At the same time, the course is focused on critically examining the available evidence for these treatments, weighing the strength of this evidence and contemplating the various individual, family and environmental factors that are relevant to whether and to what degree these treatments are appropriate and likely to be effective with various populations. To meet these objectives, we will examine the empirical literature on EBTs and discuss various perspectives on the debate about their efficacy and effectiveness. The course will cover Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy and EBTs for Drug and Alcohol Use Disorders.
