Breakfast TeleSiminar: Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy Dr. Eric Levander is an Attending Psychiatrist at the Bipolar Disorders Clinic at the West Los
Angeles VA Medical Center where he supervises UCLA psychiatry residents. He serves on the faculty at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital and at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. He is the only certified clinician in Southern California in the Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy.
The Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) was developed specifically to treat the chronically depressed adult. The principal techniques of CBASP include situation analysis (SA) in addition to two types of disciplined personal involvement by the therapist. Situation analysis teaches chronically depressed patients, with global and defeatist perspectives, adaptive and effective interpersonal problem solving skills. Disciplined therapist personal involvement, a taboo from the infancy of psychotherapy, targets problematic interpersonal behaviors through the use of the Interpersonal Discrimination Exercise (IDE) and Contingent Personal Responsivity (CPR). The IDE is a personal involvement methodology used by the CBASP therapist to heal earlier developmental trauma while CPR employs disciplined personal involvement in a contingent manner to modify pathological interpersonal behavior. With few effective evidence based psychotherapies used to treat chronic depressive illness, this course is designed to give an overview of the CBASP as well as an introduction to its major techniques.
Learning Objectives: 1) Describe how to
differentiate chronic depression from acute/episodic major depression 2) Assess several CBASP
techniques through lecture and brief participation: Situational
Analysis,
the Significant Other History Procedure that
leads to the Interpersonal Discrimination Exercise, and Contingent
Personal
Responsivity
3) Discuss why CBASP adds Disciplined Personal Involvement
to the traditional "neutral" therapist role Date: February 27, 2009 from 8:30am to 10am CE Credit: 1.5 CBT 101: Introduction to the Theories and Basic Practice

Cognitive-Behavioral Treatments for Chronic Pain
Presented by Theodore F. Robles, Ph.D. Dr. Robles is an assistant professor in the UCLA Department of Psychology, and a member of the Health Psychology core faculty. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology (Clinical-Health) from The Ohio State University and completed his clinical psychology internship at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Psychiatry. He is focused on how social connections influence health with a focus on biological processes which help individuals cope with environmental challenges (HPA axis, sympathetic nervous system, immune system); and restorative processes, including sleep and wound healing, which help us recover from environmental challenges. Dr. Robles also studies how the quality of close personal relationships, including dating and married couples, affects biological processes and health.
This course will provide mental health professionals with an introduction to chronic pain, a medical and psychological condition that affects 10-20% of adults in the United States. Attendees will learn about psychological and physical aspects of chronic pain syndromes, medical treatments, psychological assessment, and cognitive-behavioral treatments in chronic pain patients. Learning Objectives:
1. Understand current theory and research on
psychological and physical aspects of chronic pain syndromes
2. Understand clinical
observations and research that supports the gate-control model of pain
3. Review important
psychosocial, physical, and pain-related information that should be
included in patient assessments
4. Learn about medical
treatments that are used for chronic pain, including treatments that
incorporate physical and occupational therapy
5. Learn core principles in
cognitive-behavioral treatments for chronic pain
6. Apply cognitive-behavioral
treatment principles to different patient populations, diseases, and
pain syndromes

In this second level of our basic course sequence, participants will be taken on a tour through the empirically supported treatment manuals for the major affective and anxiety disorders. Students will design an empirically based treatment plan for a sample client. Special emphasis will be given to designing and using “measures” as a benchmark for successful treatment. Role plays will be used to illustrate the “collaborative empirical” approach described by A. Beck as the hallmark of the kind of therapeutic relationship one seeks to have in CBT. Learning Objectives:
1. Be familiar with
manualized treatments for major disorders
2. Learn empirically based
treatment planning to guide treatment and evaluate outcome
3. Learn to work
collaboratively with clients
4. Be able to prioritize

On March 14, Dr. Andrew Christensen presented a workshop on Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy at the UCLA Faculty Center. We had 15 participants (our largest turnout so far for an all day workshop). Dr. Christensen received excellent evaluations and several participants indicated that they have been to several of our courses and have found them to be of very high quality. Dr. Christensen made extensive use of video demonstrations which were very helpful to the participants in seeing the actual application of IBCT. As of January 2008, our institute, The Cognitive Behavior Therapy Institute, received accreditation from the Board of Behavioral Sciences in California. This accreditation in conjunction with our previous APA accreditation now allow us to offer CEU's to Psychologists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers and MFT's.
