Topic

The aim of the seminar is to learn the basics of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Through personal experience, students will learn about the processes of behavioural diagnosis and behaviour change and gain insight into the possibilities of changing dysfunctional thinking and behaviour. CBT is based on classical and operant conditioning, model learning and Beck's cognitive model, which claims that all psychological disorders share maladaptive behaviours and dysfunctional thinking, which also affect the patient's mood and behaviour. Positive influences on behaviour and realistic assessment and change in thinking are associated with positive changes in mood and behaviour.
