"Developing Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy: Evidence-Based Journey into Recovery"
Abstract
Every evidence-based treatment has a start and Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R) is no different. I will discuss my journey from training through co-developing with Aaron T. Beck CT-R for psychosis. CT-R provides an avenue for benefitting individuals with psychosis, those who are least likely to benefit from psychosocial treatment.
Objectives
The activity is designed to help the learner:
- List three parts of the Recovery Oriented Cognitive Therapy Protocol.
- Describe the findings of the Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy clinical trial.
- Explain how beliefs are related to negative symptoms of schizophrenia
