Digital education with theory and practice

During the training we will go through both theory and practice. You will be helped by a supervisor to translate theoretical knowledge into practical knowledge in treatment situations. What distinguishes our training is that it is completely digital and you can participate wherever you live in the country. We are one of the few organizations that offer the opportunity to study completely remotely, which means that you can easily continue working while continuing your education.  

Jobs after training

Another advantage of our training is that if you pass the training with good results, we have the opportunity to offer you a job after graduation. Sveapsykologerna is constantly growing and is always open to more talented employees.

Content of Basic psychotherapy training CBT/ACT step 1

Introduction

We start by going through the structure, content, course literature and an overview of CBT/ACT.

Theories in CBT/ACT

We review theories and theoretical concepts to help students understand behavioral therapy in depth, see its strengths, and find the situations when it is an appropriate treatment option. 

We learn how to analyze problems and go through models and methods to create a treatment plan for a client. 

Self-development/gene therapy

A high level of self-awareness is a good trait in a therapist and during the training we also work with the own self. Previously, self-therapy was included in CBT/ACT step 1, it can now be exchanged for developing greater self-awareness and developing one's professional through training. Sveapsykologerna offers both options and you choose which way suits you best. If you choose self-therapy, you can of course carry it out with Sveapsykologerna, if you wish.

As a therapist, it is important that the conversation and discussion about how we relate to our clients is always active and current. How do we ensure that we always maintain a high level of professionalism while maintaining a strong belief in people and a high level of commitment?

Treatment methods

Theory and techniques for carrying out treatments and also analyzing the treatment that you have carried out. A treatment always starts with analyzing the problems experienced by the client and, based on the problem analysis and the desired goals, setting a treatment plan and choosing methods for it. 

We use practical cases to practice analytical skills and treatment planning. 

Research and theories

CBT/ACT is constantly developing as a treatment area and we go through the research and theories that exist. We discuss and problematize how we should relate to new research findings and assess new research results. 

Closure

We conclude and summarize each part and regularly you as a student will be asked to evaluate the training.
