CBT for Teens: Building Motivation for Enhanced Outcomes
Mary Alvord, Ph. D
- Recorded Webinar
Overview:
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) comprises a set of therapies, including cognitive and behavioral treatments. These approaches are evidence-based and effective for a range of mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, PTSD, behavioral dysregulation, and OCD; they can be applied in clinical treatment, both individually and in group format.
This workshop will review the core components of CBT and practical strategies that work with adolescents. Setting the foundation for CBT, we will begin with a discussion of the Stages of Change, Motivational Interviewing, Values Assessment, and the process of tolerating discomfort, all of which help boost motivation for change. Case examples will be used throughout to illustrate principles and strategies. Emphasis will be placed on the clinical application of CBT and on techniques for generalization and maintenance of change.
Objectives:
- Describe the CBT “diamond,” an expansion of the CBT triangle.
- Discuss motivational components to enhance the CBT process.
- Explain three of the core components of CBT.
- List two techniques for generalization and maintenance of change.
