Clients with a high relapse potential or chronic depression and anxiety are very complex and challenging to treat, and Dr. Ludgate will teach you special augmented CBT strategies which can easily be incorporated into your everyday practice.
This program will address state-of-art interventions and adaptations in CBT for complex cases and will focus on client, therapist and therapy factors which can interfere with therapy’s effectiveness. Specifically, a model will be offered which helps to formulate from a cognitive behavioral perspective the factors involved in chronicity or in the process of relapse. Assessment and conceptualization skills which can aid treatment planning will be examined. Interventions which target chronic and recurrent problems will be described in detail with case examples.

More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
