A one day course that enables delegates to understand, interpret and use CBT research to enhance their practice as well as defend and explain its evidence base with colleagues and clients. Delegates will learn the practical skills of how to critically appraise published research during the course of the day.
This course is part of the training programme that enables you to complete the BPS Approved Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. You can build up gradually your CBT training portfolio by attending all the courses within the programme at the pace that suits you.
