:Why this course is so valuable:
The demand for improved outcomes from brief, psychological treatments for emotional problems is growing for three reasons: the rise in the number of disturbed people; the cost constraints put upon the medical and caring professions, and the increasing realisation of the risks associated with drug treatments. This lively workshop shows you how, by distilling the essence of proven approaches and working with the givens of human nature through the APET model, any team of professional healthcare workers can safely incorporate brief therapy techniques with patients suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, anger, OCD, eating disorders, addiction and relationship/marital/family problems.
How the course is structured:
The course is a blend of talks, demonstrations and exercises with breaks for networking and refreshment.
