Optional - Bringing CIT to Life - Thursday Evening
1.5 Additional CE Hours Credit At No Additional Cost

Program Description
Cognitive Interpersonal Therapy (CIT) is a new treatment model developed by Dr. Burns to help patients resolve conflicts and develop more satisfying personal relationships. CIT differs from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) both in theory and in treatment techniques. CIT is based on the idea that conflicted individuals yearn for more satisfying and rewarding relationships. At the same time, darker and more devious motives compete with the desire for intimacy and understanding. The failure to address these darker motives can lead to errors in case conceptualization, stiff patient resistance, and treatment failure. In this seminar, Dr. Burns will show how CIT is a flexible approach for treating patients with a wide range of relationship conflicts. Registrants will learn strategies for dealing with angry patients who blame others and resist change. Dr. Burns will also describe paradoxical methods to boost motivation and empower the patient. While the primary emphasis will be on helping individuals deal with relationship conflicts, Dr. Burns will also illustrate several methods for working with troubled couples. In this seminar registrants will learn how to: Describe the crucial differences between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and cognitive individual therapy (CIT) Deal with individuals who resist intimacy, sabotage therapy, and blame others for their problems Track therapeutic progress and monitor the quality of the therapeutic alliance at every session Resolve your own relationship problems--with patients, colleagues, or family members Help individuals or couples with troubled relationships
