We’ve launched a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp) ePrimer in HealtheKnowledge. This 3-hour, self-paced course is designed to serve as a primer in foundational concepts related to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its application to psychotic symptoms and experiences. Learners will start by testing their knowledge on a 30-item adapted CBT quiz, and will then be guided to complete brief modules on the topics of:
(1) Psychosis education,
(2) CBT fundamentals, and
(3) Applying CBT to psychosis.
Finally, learners will apply what they’ve learned to a practice and self-reflection exercise. Resources for further learning are provided.
