This online workshop will cover key issues in the treatment of clients suffering from depression.
About this event
This webinar will provide an interactive overview on treatments and intervention techniques to support those suffering depression. Approximately, 1 in 20 people directly suffer from depression. However, with treatment via psychotherapy or otherwise, the prospects for recovery are good.
What is the workshop about?
This workshop will cover the treatment of depression from the perspective of psychotherapy. The prevalence, causes, biochemistry and presenting characteristics will be briefly reviewed prior to a full focus on cognitive and behavioural treatment techniques and principles.
Who should attend?
This workshop is aimed at therapists, counsellors, advisers, educationalists, health care workers, social workers and students in these areas. It is particularly useful for counsellors who do not normally work within a cognitive or behavioural model but want to explore tried and tested techniques. Similarly, counsellors and therapists working within this tradition are likely to find this workshop a useful refresher in the latest approaches. It is also suitable for anyone with an interest in contemporary practice in this area.
