Description
**This refresher course is only available to those that have completed ‘CBT Essentials' and are wanting to refresh their knowledge and renew their APT Accreditation.**
APT was one of the earliest organisations to teach CBT, starting in 1982, three years after the seminal book Cognitive Therapy of Depression was written by Beck, Rush, Shaw and Emery. Since that point, this course has constantly been one of the most attended of any of APT's courses. Constantly developing, this course was one of the first to systematically teach '5-factor CBT', also advocated by Padesky in the 'hot cross bun'. Including not just emotions, behaviour and cognitions, the 5-factor approach adds biological factors and social/environmental factors into the mix, without which many conditions would not be addressed adequately.
It is the only CBT training that is APT-accredited and also gives you access to APT’s relevant downloadable resources for use post-course.
