Led by Dr. Rob Hindman, our newest interactive on-demand course presents an evidence-based, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) approach for suicide prevention. You’ll learn to conduct a thorough suicide risk assessment, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, conceptualize suicidal ideation and plan treatment, develop a safety plan, and much more.

Dr. Hindman describes how to conceptualize clients at risk for suicide according to Problem-Based and Strength-Based Cognitive Conceptualizations as well as the cognitive model of suicidal acts. Clinicians see how to tailor treatment to their individual clients using affective, behavioral, and cognitive interventions for suicide prevention. Additionally, Dr. Hindman presents how to use imagery as a method for relapse prevention. These topics are demonstrated through didactic lectures, video recordings of therapy sessions, and roundtable discussions between expert Beck Institute clinicians, including Dr. Judith Beck.

Dr. Judith Beck helps health and mental health professionals of all skill levels expand their understanding of CBT in this self-directed interactive training. This course provides you with the history of CBT, the theory behind CBT, and a step-by-step description of how to apply the most important techniques to yourself and your clients.

Essential topics include conceptualizing cases according to the cognitive model, structuring sessions, developing a sound therapeutic relationship, and collaboratively developing Action Plans. You will practice by using CBT techniques on yourself, to give you a greater understanding of why and how to use specific interventions and how to better explain the rationales and process to clients. Role play demonstrations, annotated transcripts, conceptualization diagrams, worksheets, and clinical roundtables with a panel of expert therapists illustrate the main principles of CBT treatment.

Led by Beck Institute Director of CBT Programs Dr. Allen Miller and organized around the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale—Revised (CTRS-R), this interactive multimedia course digs into the “how” of practicing CBT: how to establish a therapeutic alliance, generate internal motivation, structure therapy sessions, and develop effective action plans for each client. Additionally, you will learn to design effective treatment plans based on your conceptualizations, to elicit and respond appropriately to feedback, and much more.

The many role plays included in this course demonstrate what CBT sessions look like and provide guidance to those who are just learning. For seasoned therapists, this course provides the latest developments in the practice of CBT. Upon completion of the course, you will have practiced the most current version of CBT and you will be prepared to provide competent care for each client.
