Description:
This course is a slower paced version of our live, large group I-CBT trainings. You get the full I-CBT Basic Training, but also case consultation as you go.
Inference-based CBT is an evidence-based treatment of choice for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I-CBT is an upstream modality that targets the obsessional doubt of the OCD cycle. When the obsessional doubt is resolved, then the anxiety and compulsive aspects of OCD do not take place. I-CBT is completed through 12 modules. This training will give clinicians an introductory knowledge of I-CBT, and they will then be able to provide I-CBT treatment for clients with OCD.
This course is complete over a 12 week time period in 90 minute sessions giving you time to watch role plays of skills, practice skills yourself, and ask detailed questions related to your specific cases.
