About this Unit
This unit provides an introduction to the theory and practice of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based form of therapy and an important therapeutic tool for psychologists working in diverse settings. Students in this unit will develop foundational skills in CBT assessment and therapy and a critical understanding of CBT application across conditions, populations and settings. In addition, students will gain foundational skills in family therapy (FT), including introduction to different models of FT, assessment and case formulation from a FT perspective and FT application across different family situations. Both Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Family Therapy will be examined in relation to indigenous and multicultural contexts.
