This is a 3-hour workshop introducing an evidence-BASED STRENGTH-BASED
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY MODEL FOR WORKING WITH PEOPLE WITH MENTAL
ILLNESS. There will be exercises, case discussions and role plays for
participants to understand and experience how STRENGTH-BASED COGNITIVE
BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (SBCBT) is operationalised.
COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOUR THERAPY HAS LONG BEEN CONSIDERED A PROBLEMORIENTED
APPROACH IN ADDRESSING THE DEFICITS OF CLIENTS. In recent years, some
academics and therapists in CBT have begun to explore a
STRENGTH-oriented
approach to CBT, focusing on helping clients to utilise internal and
external resources to identify, develop and achieve personal goals,
leading to a more fulfilling life.
This workshop is BASED ON A 7- phase SBCBT model developed by the
presenter and his team STRENGTH-BASED COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY FOR
PEOPLE WITH SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS.
Professor Daniel Wong is a clinical psychologist and MENTAL HEALTH
SOCIAL WORK ACADEMIC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG. His major
research interests include evidence-BASED PRACTICE IN MENTAL HEALTH,
COGNITIVEBEHAVIOURAL
therapy, mental health literacy and promotion, and mental health
issues among migrants.
Professor Wong and his colleagues have established the Institute of
Cognitive Therapy in Hong Kong and Centre for Holistic Health in
Melbourne, Australia to provide training for mental health
professionals and promote better mental health among Chinese
populations.
