Overview
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective first-line treatment for depression and anxiety. Yet, despite its proven benefits, a significant number of clients and patients still experience relapse. To address this challenge, specific strategies that support sustained recovery can be integrated into psychotherapy.
In this workshop, Dr. Ludgate reviews the literature on relapse in depressive and anxiety disorders and introduces clinical strategies to address factors associated with relapse. He provides an in-depth exploration of:
- Predictors of long-term outcomes
- Key targets for a relapse prevention approach
- Evidence-based techniques for optimizing maintenance
- Methods for estimating relapse risk
- Structured relapse prevention plans
- Strategies to disrupt the relapse cycle
- Practical clinical guidelines
By the end of this hands-on workshop, you will be equipped to implement evidence-based relapse prevention strategies both during therapy and as part of the pre-termination process.
