Live Virtual Training via Zoom
Join Alexandra Pentaraki, PhD as she presents a live virtual professional training program on Treatment Outcomes in Depression: Reducing Drop-out Rates in Cognitive Therapy.
This program provides an in-depth look at Cognitive Therapy's role in treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Despite promising outcomes, the high drop-out rates coupled with the complexity of identifying the most effective therapeutic elements often confound clinicians. This program explores both these challenges and outlines practical solutions for overcoming them.
The program emphasizes a dual focus on therapist-related factors, such as competency, and patient-related factors, such as engagement in therapy and logistical difficulties impacting attendance. By examining these issues, this program will aim to assist healthcare professionals in reducing drop-out rates, thereby improving the effectiveness of cognitive therapy in treating depression symptoms.
This program will delve into the cognitive and behavioral components intrinsic to manualized cognitive therapy, placing special emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The program will offer a detailed discussion of the findings related to CBT, thereby enriching the understanding and competency of the attendees.
