Thursday, May 1, 2008
9:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. (6 CE Hrs.)


Padesky & Mooney’s 4-step model for building and strengthening resilience integrates knowledge from resilience research, traditional cognitive therapy methods, and constructive cognitive therapy approaches. Participants will learn to search for strengths within six main areas of competence characteristic of resilient individuals. Guided exercises allow participants to practice skills that can help both clients and therapists become more resilient in the face of daily challenges. This resilience model can be integrated within CBT and other therapy approaches.
