The purpose of this course is to introduce students to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) theory and its applications. The traditional theories of Skinner, Bandura, Beck, Ellis and Meichenbaum will be studied as well as newer models of cognitive behavioral therapy (e.g., Cognitive constructivism and Mindfulness). Theory will be applied across the lifespan with a special focus on anxiety and depressive disorders. Students will also learn how to utilize a cognitive-behavioral manual in treatment.
