SUMMARY:Process-Based Therapy - Advanced CBT
DESCRIPTION:This 2 – Part Webinar Series will:\nDescribes the limits of contemporary models of psychopathology and treatments\nDiscuss alternatives to the latent disease model\nIntroduce a network perspective to psychopathology\nDiscuss the Extended Evolutionary Meta Model\nDiscuss Process-based therapy as an idiographic approach that combines a network perspective and evolutionary theory \nProcess-based therapy (PBT) is a radical departure from the latent disease model of the DSM and ICD with its absurd proliferation of the protocols-for-syndrome approach. Instead\, PBT focuses on how to best target and change core biopsychosocial processes in a specific situation for given goals with a given client. This approach recognizes that psychotherapy typically involves non-linear (rather than linear)\, bidirectional (rather than unidirectional)\, and dynamic changes of many (rather than only a few) interconnected variables. Effective therapy changes the entire system toward a stable and adaptive state by enhancing context-specific variability\, selection and retention of biopsychosocial processes. PBT is\, therefore\, grounded in evolutionary science. For therapy to be most effective\, we\, therefore\, need to embrace a systematic\, assessment-guided\, and theory-based approach to understand the relationships of the various problems of a given client. Functional analysis\, the foundation of behavior therapy\, provides the basis to understand these relationships. PBT acknowledges the complexity\, inter-relatedness\, and multidimensional levels of the problems in a given client. This workshop will illustrate how PBT is used to target key treatment processes by combining functional analysis with a dynamic and person-specific network approach. \nLearning objectives \n\nAppreciating the limitations and weaknesses of the contemporary medical model.\nGaining an up-to-date understanding of the core processes of CBT.\nDeveloping an idiographic\, functional diagnostic system based on evolutionary science.\nEstablishing more progressive models and theories in clinical practice.\nUsing functional analysis in conjunction with complex network approach in a given client\n\n  \nDate\nWednesday 24th June 2026\nWednesday 15th July 2026 \n4:00 pm to 7:30pm AEST (Melbourne) \nLocation\nOnline\, Webinar – 2 Parts\nRecoded 30 day access post event \nCost\n$450 includes GST for 7 hours of Professional Development \n  \nAbout the speaker\nProfessor Stefan G. Hofmann is the Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Translational Clinical Psychology and the LOEWE top professor at the Philipps-Universität of Marburg in Germany. He was born in a little town near Stuttgart in Germany\, which may explain his thick German accent. He studied psychology at the Philipps-Universität of Marburg\, Germany\, where he received his B.A.\, M.S.\, and Ph.D. A brief dissertation fellowship to spend some time at Stanford University turned into a longer research career in the United States. He was professor at Boston University between 1996 and 2023 and received an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship to return to his alma mater\, the Philipps-Universität of Marburg\, Germany\, in 2021. He now lives in Frankfurt\, Germany\, and Cape Cod\, Massachusetts. Dr. Hofmann has an actively funded research program studying various aspects of emotional disorders with a particular emphasis on mood and anxiety disorders\, cognitive behavioral therapy\, and neuroscience. He is co-developer of Process-based Therapy. He has won many prestigious professional awards\, including the 2021 Alexander von Humboldt Professorship and the 2015 Aaron T. Beck Award for Significant and Enduring Contributions to the Field of Cognitive Therapy by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. He was president of various national and international professional societies\, including ABCT and the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy. He was an advisor to the DSM-5 Development Process and a member of the DSM-5 Anxiety Disorder Sub-Work Group. Since 2016\, he has been identified as a Highly Cited Researcher. Dr. Hofmann is the editor of Psychological Bulletin\, one of the top journals in psychology. He has published more than 500 peer-reviewed journal articles and 20 books. At leisure\, he enjoys traveling to immerse himself into new cultures\, make new friends\, and reconnect with old ones. When time permits\, he occasionally gets out his flute.
