Psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is showing promise as a highly effective form of mental health treatment and appears poised to become a major new form of mental health care moving forward. This workshop will provide CBT professionals with an evidence-based overview of this new clinical area and provide examples of how CBT can be integrated into PAT.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT; Cohen et al., 2017) is a well-established treatment for children with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related mental health problems. Unlike most CBTs developed for children, in TF-CBT, caregivers have their own sessions, parallel to what their children are learning. Thus, to honor the work of Dr. Mary Cover Jones, the mother of behavior therapy and a groundbreaking scientist, we will present emerging research on caregiver responses to TF-CBT and their influence children’s outcomes. Dr. Tohar Scheininger will present a phase-based analysis of caregiver symptom change in TF-CBT.
