Attachment Based - Cognitive Behavioral Systemic Therapy
(AB-CBST)
The Institute for the Advancement of Psychotherapy provides its Attachment Based - Cognitive Behavioral Systemic Therapy training for licensed therapists, as well as student therapists who are interested in learning how to successfully integrate evidence based approaches to provide principal driven treatment to children, adults, couples, and families.
There has been much research on the effectiveness on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and outcomes for both adults and children are improved by involving the systems in the clients' lives. When working with children and adolescents, the ability to work with family the family systemic is necessary, and when working with adults, working with their partners or family members can be invaluable in creating lasting change.
