Cognitive Motivational Therapy
Earn 13 CE/CME Hours
 Cognitive Motivational Therapy (CMT) is a new method for treating
challenging, resistant patients, including individuals with personality disorders as well as severe depression, anxiety, and anger, as well as habits and addictions. CMT is based on one simple idea: Many
patients desire change, but fear and resist change at the same time. You could be the most understanding therapist in the world, with world-class expertise in all the latest, empirically-validated
techniques, but your patients still won't improve until you learn how to:
- Transform anger and resentment into warmth, trust and collaboration
- Identify the powerful motivational factors that keep your patients stuck
- Transform therapeutic resistance into motivation and collaboration
CMT is an integrated approach that preserves the many helpful cognitive, behavioral and interpersonal techniques developed over the past several decades, while
incorporating powerful assessment techniques, sophisticated empathy techniques, paradoxical motivational strategies, and innovative, state-of-the-art treatment methods. Challenging,
oppositional patients with personality disorders are ideal candidates for this new approach. However, these techniques will boost your effectiveness with all your patients as well as your enjoyment of
your clinical work. Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and have fun while you learn from one of America's most highly acclaimed workshop leaders.
