An introduction to the ethics and practice guidelines that support the provision of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to individuals with mental health and addiction difficulties. The course will focus on interviewing and engagement techniques. The approach taken will be informed by the Hui process, using Maori concepts to inform engagement and assessment with both Maori and non-Maori. This approach will be further supported by teaching on bicultural competence and confidence and a Treaty of Waitangi workshop. Key psychological mechanisms for common mental health disorders will be addressed, with a focus on developing CBT formulations. Students will be introduced to cognitive behavioural assessment and formulation, including functional analysis techniques and awareness of key marginalisation data for health outcomes for Maori.
