Deliberate Practice in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Part of the Essentials of Deliberate Practice series
By James F. Boswell and Michael J. Constantino
Associated Courses: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Psychological Counseling and Psychotherapy
Deliberate practice exercises help students and trainees rehearse fundamental cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skills to develop basic competence and hone their own personal therapeutic style.
The book provides customized exercises consisting of role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a therapist, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering each skill, and explain how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.
