Full description:	The course will cover theoretical foundations of cognitive-behavioral therapies and their principles. We will discuss similarities and differences between different approaches, their historical and philosophical roots and newest developments in the field including so-called “third wave” therapies. You will get familiar with several ways of conceptualizing patients’/ clients’ problems in cognitive-behavioral approaches and adequate treatment planning using disorders-specific protocols, transdiagnostic models and case formulation driven strategies. We will focus on evidence-based status of CBTs, as well as critical perspectives and gaps in empirical research. Focusing on theoretical aspects we will explore their empirical basis and rationale for using CBT interventions. All the topics will be illustrated with case studies, therapy sessions’ transcripts and/ or video presentations to explore their clinical relevance. Finally, participants will have a possibility to develop and master practical skills in CBT-based case formulation and treatment planning.
