Salomons Centre for Applied Psychology Postgraduate Programmes in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (High Intensity) Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy www.canterbury.ac.uk/cbt
At the Salomons Centre for Applied Psychology, we have offered a coherent package of CBT programmes for 10 years. With our Postgraduate Diploma we seek to train fully competent and BABCP-accreditable CBT practitioners, equipped to help clients in IAPT services or elsewhere, using the most effective therapeutic tools at our disposal for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression. Furthermore, our self-practice module teaches practical skills for those working in today s challenging healthcare context to notice and respond to their own emotional and psychological needs. Our Masters programme offers graduates of the Postgraduate Diploma knowledge and skills in practice-based research and evaluation, either enabling them to meet specific service needs, or to pursue more specialist avenues that will expand CBT knowledge. Dr Daniel Salter Director of CBT Programmes

The Programmes Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (High Intensity) offers an excellent programme of study across a mix of classroom learning, problem based learning, clinical supervision and intensive skills workshops. The six modules of our BABCP Accredited course provide you with the aptitude, skills and competencies to practise as Cognitive Behavioural Therapists. You will gain the expertise for assessing and treating patients with a range of anxiety and depressive disorders. The aim of the programme is that on successful completion you will have met the minimum training standards for provisional accreditation with the BABCP, the accrediting body for CBT therapists in the United Kingdom. Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy will allow you to further your studies with a research based qualification. This programme is intended to develop your expertise as CBT practitioners, supervisors or trainers through your involvement in the design, implementation and write-up of a practice-based clinical research project. This MSc will develop research skills which practitioners may employ in their services, and which may also serve as preparation for subsequent doctoral study. Increasingly, research and evaluation is an expected component of mental health services to assess outcome and effectiveness. Information management, evaluation planning, ethical decision making, data collection, analysis and dissemination all share a role in the process of research, and these 18 months are designed to develop your skills in each of these areas. www.canterbury.ac.uk/cbt
