Self-harm in young people: why are rates increasing and what can we do?
14 October 2024
Come along to this pub discussion for insights into the experience of self-harm among young people and ways in which clinicians can respond effectively.
Our national conference will provide a great opportunity to engage with national and international thought leaders from across the family of the cognitive behavioural therapies. With this conference we bring together innovative clinical researchers and research clinicians working across the life span. Coming from research, community, and private practice settings, they will present recent evidence-based advances and emerging ideas in their fields for working with cognitions, behaviours, schemas, and emotions for common and complex psychological and health conditions. Thursday and Friday are the Scientific Program, and Saturday is the Workshops - click through for all the details.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a fascinating condition that often looks very different across individuals. It rarely improves without treatment, and it can be challenging to treat. This Masterclass provides an overview of evidence-based approached to treating OCD.
As CT-SAD has been consistently shown to be more effective than a range of other psychological and pharmacological treatments for SAD, familiarity with its key features is likely to enhance a practitioner’s clinical practice.
CBT is now accepted as a “standard of care” for depressed youth, and the modular CBT protocol developed for the Treatment of Adolescents with Depression Study (TADS) project is widely respected as among the best. It incorporates a range of evidence-based techniques and strategies clinicians will value. Working with depressed and suicidal youth can be a challenge. This workshop will provide clinicians with an understanding of teen depression as well as tools for treating it.
Mental imagery can provide a potent bridge between cognition and emotion. This presentation describes a program of applied research that comprehensively integrates and evaluates imagery-based techniques throughout CBT for social anxiety disorder to optimise cognitive and affective changes.
