Clinicians are overwhelmed these days by an ever-increasing number of psychological approaches and ever-stricter requirements affecting treatment planning. Knowing which of the many approaches qualify as evidence-based, or how to translate their interventions into a coherent, phase-oriented plan, can be challenging. The prevalence of depression as a clinical diagnosis, furthermore, makes standardized treatment planning a necessity for many mental health professionals, yet resources for learning to do so are hard to come by. We’re excited to offer this new, in-depth video, in which two clinical experts break down and demonstrate the crucial components of an evidence-based treatment plan for depression.
After giving an overview of the DSM criteria for depression and the history of the empirically supported treatment (EST) movement, Bruce and Jongsma outline the criteria for both “well-established” and “probably efficacious” treatments, going on to describe six of the former methods in detail. With a rundown of these approaches that includes review, demonstration, and commentary, you’ll learn how to compose a six-step treatment plan based on the interventions of behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, personal and interpersonal skills training and problem-solving therapy, and interpersonal therapy. You’ll also learn about other common approaches to treatment, as well as relapse prevention.
If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of evidence-based treatment planning and the empirically supported treatments on which they’re based, be sure to add this information-packed video to your library.
By watching this video, you will:
- Refresh your knowledge of the DSM criteria for depression and the features of a major depressive episode.
- Learn to create a six-step treatment plan based on well-established evidence-based empirically supported treatments.
- Understand the common considerations in depression relapse prevention and how to address them with your clients.
