Please note the location of the workshop has changed back to our usual venue in Auburn. See below for directions.

On Saturday July 8, 2017 from 9:30 a.m. to Noon

Dean Bender, LMFT

will present

The David Burns, M.D., Style of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Description of the Workshop:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has “strong” research support for many psychological disorders, according to the APA. David D. Burns, M.D., wrote his first CBT self-help book in 1980, Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, and is still active 37 years later with a finely tuned system of support for therapists. This book has considerable research support, also.

The presentation will introduce participants to Dr. Burns' CBT system, including the “T. E. A. M. – CBT” approach: Testing, Empathy, (Paradoxical) Agenda setting, and Methods. Each element will be explained, demonstrated and shown how they all fit together. Most of the time will be spent on (Paradoxical) Agenda Setting and Methods.

Goals and Objectives:

1. Participants will be able to describe the applications and usefulness of elements of the “Toolkit” for use with their clients.
2. Participants will be able to explain how paradoxical agenda setting reduces client resistance and will be able to demonstrate how it is used in therapy sessions.
3. Participants will be able to list the free resources, very cheap resources ($15), and more expensive resources ($150-$240) for further study, both for themselves and for clients.
