Workshop Description: 

Persistent depression is one of the most challenging psychological disorders to treat and traditional therapies and pharmacotherapies have provided only limited ability to provide full recovery for these patients. This workshop provides an introduction to the theory and practice of the Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), an evidenced-based third-wave psychotherapy for persistent depression, which has been found to be especially effective for persons with early trauma. This workshop will introduce the theory of CBASP, the three major treatment strategies, and hands-on practice and role-play with the major techniques of CBASP as applied in a group format. CBASP is designed to address interpersonal avoidance and teach coping skills by promoting felt safety with the therapist and increasing the patient’s ability to recognize and begin to change the consequences of their behaviour on others (interpersonal mindfulness).
