Executive Summary:

We created this course because there are few good psychological interventions for anxiety and phobias, but exposure therapy and graded exposure are one such. The problem is that it is such a ‘common sense’ procedure that many people – professionals included – don't take the care to learn how to use it properly and so it doesn’t work well for them. This leads to disappointment for the client, and a likely exacerbation of the problem. And that’s why we created this short course: to show professionals how to use exposure therapy – and graded exposure in particular - effectively and well. 

The course covers how to apply exposure therapy – especially graded exposure – and what conditions it works well for. It also covers the pitfalls to avoid, and the conditions it usually doesn’t work well for. Those who attend the course receive a certificate to verify the fact, and accreditation that allows them access to any resources associated with the course.

What's covered on the course?

The course covers all you need to be able to use graded exposure effectively, namely:

• What is graded exposure effective for?
• The principles and theory: why graded exposure works.
• The procedure: in everyday terms, graded exposure is ‘gradually getting the client used to whatever it is they are afraid of’. But what does this mean in proper clinical practice: what exactly do you say and do?
• The mistakes professionals make when using GE.
• The mistakes clients make when using GE.
• Case studies.
• Measurement and evaluation.
• Follow up.

Reviews.

APT prides itself on the feedback we receive about our courses. Below are just some of the great comments APT courses have received.

"I have heard so much about APT courses but have never had the privilege of attending one until now. I have to say that in 18 years working in mental health I have attended many courses but these past 3 days have surpassed all of them. The information and manner in which it was presented was excellent. My advice to anyone who has not been on an APT course is 'get yourself on one.' If you had only one course to do in the remainder of your career do this one. Thanks.”

"I have actually stopped applying for any non APT courses as they far exceed the content and presentation of any other NHS course I have been on in my 20+ years' experience of psychiatry. Many thanks."
