Module overview

This module builds on the skills and knowledge developed in PSYC6104 Introduction to CBT Theory and Skills. The module provides an introduction to the theoretical models and clinical skills involved in CBT for adults with anxiety disorders and depression. You will progress from a generic understanding of CBT and its use in the NHS to a more specific understanding of engagement,

assessment, formulation and change techniques with patients with anxiety disorders and depression.

You will cover third wave models of CBT with an introduction to Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
