The target audience for this medical event is intended for mental health professionals wishing to expand their practice to include MBCT and mindfulness-related practices. Those in attendance should be either licensed clinicians in a mental health field, clinicians-in-training, or interested professionals who do not intend to deliver the intervention directly but have other professional interests in the topic (i.e. researchers, administrators, etc.). All participants should have at least a modest regular meditation practice and an established practice is preferred. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 36.0 contact hours.
Continuing education credits for participation in this program are available for an additional fee for Psychologists, Psychotherapists (LCSW, MFT, LPC), Nurses - $75.
Conference Description :
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy is an innovative, empirically validated treatment program designed to prevent relapse in people who have recovered from unipolar depression and has shown promise in the treatment of mood disorders more generally. Self-knowledge grounded in sustained meditative awareness is its central tenet.
The heart of MBCT lies in acquainting patients with the modes of mind that often characterize mood disorders while simultaneously inviting them to develop a new relationship to these modes. Patients learn to view thoughts as events in the mind, independent of their content and emotional charge. They need not be disputed, fixed or changed but are held in a more spacious awareness, large enough to contain aspects of the self-deemed both broken and whole.
Conference Objectives are :
• Teach the curriculum and core therapeutic tasks for each of the eight group sessions of MBCT.
• Describe the central role of mindfulness meditation practice in facilitating self-regulation of emotions and mood.
• Articulate the vital importance of the therapist’s ongoing mindfulness meditation practice and sustained mindful awareness within a psychotherapy framework.
• Develop and/or deepen their own mindfulness meditation practice, emphasizing both formal meditative practices and mindfulness as a mode of being in daily life.
• Demonstrate the clinical skills and perspectives necessary to facilitate MBCT groups.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
