Event 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 individuals in conflict 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 workshop, Dr. Burns will illustrate a basic, flexible approach that can be used to help patients with a wide range of relationship conflicts.
