Course Summary

The Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is part of a comprehensive CBT training programme, which has been renowned for its consistent record of excellence in CBT practice, training and supervision over the past 25 years. Oxford is internationally recognised as a centre of excellence in CBT and the course draws on an impressive body of local specialist skill and knowledge.

Course Aims

The Course seeks to enable students to:

  • Appreciate how theory, research and clinical practice inform each other in cognitive behavioural therapy, contributing to its continued development
  • Establish and practise a repertoire of enhanced cognitive behavioural skills
  • Develop the ability to apply these skills with specialist patient groups and problem areas encountered in their own places of work
  • Establish and maintain warm, respectful, collaborative relationships, and develop the ability to understand and manage difficulties in the alliance (including the student’s contribution) using a cognitive conceptual framework
  • Through consultation, identify and resolve difficulties in practice, whether arising from theoretical, practical, interpersonal, personal or ethical problems

Modules

Designed to equip clinicians for work with children, adolescents and their families, this pathway offers specialist supervision and teaching that covers general principles of adapting CBT for children, young people and families, including developmental, systemic and ethical/professional issues.
