Spring-Summer 2022 CBT Consultation Group 

There is no question today that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is an important tool in a clinician's toolbox. Significant empirical research has demonstrated its effectiveness with issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, phobias, panic disorder, OCD, ADHD, social phobia, and other issues. At IAP, we view CBT as a general theory influenced by Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy (CT), Behavioral Theory, and Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). This general theory provides a structure for a number of interventions culled from a variety of theoretical sources to improve treatment effectiveness. These sources include Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Schema Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Exposure with Response Prevention, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and others.
These consultation groups will be limited to 3 participants.  We will spend the first 10 min discussing a specific skill or issue related to CBT, then will have two 20 min case presentation (presenting video of session is strongly encouraged).  Dr. Keith Sutton will lead the consultation group and will consult and use role play to help develop consultation group members experience with using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  Participants are required to sign up for the series of five or four consultation sessions and must have taken the six hour workshop in the particular theory), prior to joining the consultation group.  Dr. Sutton also offers individualized supervision in person, via Zoom, or by phone for those unable to attend the group or seeking one on one consultation.
