CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ) CBT for Suicide Prevention 2023

Led by Dr. Rob Hindman, this interactive on-demand course presents an evidence-based, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) approach for suicide prevention. You’ll learn to conduct a thorough suicide risk assessment, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, conceptualize suicidal ideation and plan treatment, develop a safety plan, and much more.

Dr. Hindman describes how to conceptualize clients at risk for suicide according to Problem-Based and Strength-Based Cognitive Conceptualizations as well as the cognitive model of suicidal acts. Clinicians see how to tailor treatment to their individual clients using affective, behavioral, and cognitive interventions for suicide prevention. Additionally, Dr. Hindman presents how to use imagery as a method for relapse prevention. These topics are demonstrated through didactic lectures, video recordings of therapy sessions, and roundtable discussions between expert Beck Institute clinicians, including Dr. Judith Beck.
