Recovery-oriented cognitive therapy (CT-R) for serious mental illness is an empirically-supported treatment that operationalizes recovery and resiliency in a collaborative way. This INTRODUCTORY workshop will introduce through lecture and video the basic protocol of CT-R and how to start using it. CT-R applies across the range of severity, and includes a way to understand the challenges (low energy, disorganization, grandiosity, hallucinations, aggression, self-injury, etc.) that can keep them from engaging and getting the life of their choosing, along with strategies for action to promote that life to its fullest.
Once participants have attended this program, they will leave able to:
1) List the three stages of the basic protocol for Recovery Oriented CT; and,
2) Explain the relationship between beliefs and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
