Abstract:

This training is designed for experienced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) clinicians who want to enhance their effectiveness in supervising clinicians developing competence in CBT. Participants will learn how to use the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale–Revised (CTRS-R) to assess supervisee skills in alignment with the core components of competent CBT practice. The training will also focus on providing developmentally appropriate, structured feedback to support supervisees’ clinical growth and skill development.

Presenter Biography:

Wendy Wild, PsyD, received her doctoral degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2011. Learning, practicing, and teaching CBT have been her career goals since the onset of her graduate training. She completed two years of practicum, her predoctoral internship, and her postdoctoral residency under the supervision of Dr. Allen Miller, now Beck Institute’s Executive Director, at WellSpan Behavioral Health in York Pennsylvania.

Dr. Wild is a staff psychologist at WellSpan and applies CBT to serve people of all ages and diverse backgrounds with a wide variety of presenting problems. She strongly believes that cognitive conceptualization is the heart of good CBT and a vehicle for ensuring a comprehensive understanding of clients’ lived experiences, intersecting personal identities, values, and goals within their social context. She has considerable interest and experience working with children with behavioral disorders, adolescents, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, medical patients, and personality disorders. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Wild is the Director of Training for an APA accredited internship. She provides and coordinates training and supervision of the essentials of CBT to interns serving in an outpatient community health center and integrated care settings. Through Beck Institute, Dr. Wild provides individual and group supervision for certification, and trainings including CBT for Youth, CBT for Trauma in Youth, and DBT-informed CBT.

At the end of the webinar, the learner will be able to:

1. Describe components of competent CBT practice 
2. Identify important elements of a supervisory relationship  
3. Describe the 11 items of CTRS-R   
4. Explain and summarize the utility of CTRS-R in the process of clinical supervision
5. Describe successful strategies in providing feedback to a supervisee based on the CTRS-R

As part of ABCT’s commitment to transparency and accountability, we will hold several member-engagement virtual meetings with the president throughout this year. These online meetings will be open to the entire membership and will see the president responding to questions from a moderator as well as the audience, on matters of organizational importance. 

Members are encouraged to submit questions in advance, and we will try to respond to as many of these questions as possible. We will also take some questions live and in real time from members of the online audience. The event will be recorded so if you are unable to attend in real time, you’ll have an opportunity to view the recording later. Capacity is limited so please register early once the meetings links are distributed.

Abstract:

While the majority of female/assigned female at birth individuals do not experience significant menstrual cycle effects on their mood, approximately 5% experience intense and debilitating changes (i.e., premenstrual dysphoric disorder, PMDD) and at least 50% of those with mood disorders and other forms of psychopathology experience cycle-based worsening of their symptoms (i.e., premenstrual exacerbation, PME). Clinicians need to understand how to assess and treat menstrual cycle-related effects on mood and psychopathology. Dr. Peters will provide an overview of how changes in ovarian hormones can affect mood and behavior, information on assessment including the rationale for prospective daily symptoms tracking, and pragmatic strategies to adapt CBT and DBT skills to reduce the impairment and distress from PMDD/PME.

Presenter Biography:

Jessica Peters, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist whose current work focuses on how typical changes in ovarian steroid hormones across the menstrual cycle may increase vulnerability to emotion dysregulation for a subset of menstruating people, resulting in premenstrual disorders. Recognizing that multiple different types of neural hormone sensitivities drive these symptom patterns, she co-developed the Dimensional Affective Sensitivity to Hormones across the Menstrual Cycle (DASH-MC) framework to integrate these findings into an initial transdiagnostic model. Her lab is currently working to refine this model, develop novel methods to improve the study of premenstrual disorders and to translate these findings into formats useful for patients and clinicians.

At the end of the webinar, the learner will be able to:

1. Describe the general causes and prevalence of premenstrual mood disorders (PMDs)
2. Conduct basic assessments for PMDs
3. Provide support for patients navigating seeking PMD treatment
4. Consider the impact of PMD temporal patterns when evaluating potential (mal)adaptive behavior
5. Adapt CBT/DBT skills for use for PMDs
