Workshop 1 (Mon 17 May 2010 ): Hallucinations
This workshop will cover engaging the client in discussing their hallucinatory experiences, cognitive behavioural assessment of hallucinations, developing a shared model of voice experience, enhancing coping strategies and targeting beliefs about voices.
Workshop 2 (Tue 18 May 2010 ): Delusions
This workshop will cover engaging with delusional clients, identifying appropriate targets for intervention, helping the client to develop alternative explanations for psychotic experiences, and methods for reducing delusional conviction and preoccupation.
