Background and Structure:
This extended course consists of the following:
• CBT: key knowledge and skills (23rd-25th March 2010)
• Any three of the following modules:
- CBT with Depression (20-21 April 2010)
- CBT with Stress and Worry (18-19 May 2010)
- CBT with Panic (15-16 June 2010)
- CBT with OCD (13-14 July 2010)
- CBT with Anger and Irritability (10-11 August 2010)
- CBT with Substance Misuse (7-8 September)
- CBT with Eating Disorders (5-6 October 2010)
• Four written work-based projects (each approximately 2,000 words) corresponding to the
four modules studied (The CBT Key Knowledge and Skills module plus the three chosen
modules, above.)
• A final 2-day module (26-27th October 2010), consisting of revision, expansion, and,
notably,
four exam papers, again corresponding to the four modules studied.

The Projects
Project One: assessment and case conceptualisation.
• The assessment. This will contain all the information you have gathered, whether by
interview or by examining the pre-existing notes on the person.
• The case conceptualisation. This should include a clear account of (a) how the problems
evolved, (b) what is maintaining the problems and (c) what CBT elements you believe will
be relevant in overcoming the problems.
Project Two, Three and Four: an account of CBT applied to each of your chosen specialist areas.
Projects 2-4 each follow the same format, namely to write up the assessment and treatment
of a patient who has the problem in question (depression, or worry, or substance misuse, etc).
A good piece of work will contain the following:
• A full account of the assessment interview.
• Your conceptualisation of the problem.
• Your goals.
• Your plan for achieving the goals.
• How you measure your progress in achieving the stated goals.
• A clear account of treatment sessions.
• An overall summary of how the treatment progressed.
• Reference to any relevant literature.
......................................................................................................................................................................
The Exams
You sit the four exam papers on day two of the final module. The papers correspond to each
of the four modules you have studied. The exams are designed to be a thorough test of the knowledge elements of each of the modules and therefore - in assessment terms - intended
to complement the projects, which test your ability to apply that knowledge.
......................................................................................................................................................................
Marking
Exams and projects count equally. To pass the course you need to pass every exam and
every project. The pass mark is 40%. To obtain a distinction on the course you need to
obtain an average mark of 70% across all marked elements.
