Acquaintance Course in CBT
This small course was established in 2003, as a new educational initiative of
IBRT, with the aim (1) to meet the growing interest in CBT in Greece and (2) to
offer an alternative way to people who wish to get acquainted with CBT, but do
not wish to attend the four-year clinical course, or do not meet the criteria for
admittance to the course. In each lecture, emphasis is given on introductory
issues. No previous knowledge of CBT is assumed by the tutors and basic
principles and procedures are pointed out throughout the course.
Course Topics
Principles of CBT, introduction to CBT (case studies of adults, children &
adolescents), depression, marital problems, sexual dysfunctions, ADHD,
substance-induced disorders, anxiety disorders (also in children), family therapy
for schizophrenia, OCD, eating disorders, personality disorders, crisis
intervention, autism, therapeutic relationship in CBT.
