September
Advanced Mindfulness-based
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Part of the Workshop Series of the
2006 Joint National Conference of the APS and NZPsS
Auckland, New Zealand
- Date: 30 September 2006
- Venue: Skycity Auckland Convention Centre, Auckland, New Zealand
- Level: Intermediate to advanced, some experience of mindfulness assumed.
- Length: 1 day
- Facilitator: Bruno Cayoun
- Workshop Objectives: The aim of this advanced workshop is to provide participants with a
wider understanding of Mindfulness-based CBT principles. There will be an emphasis on practical skills and their neurophenomenological basis in a wide range of disorders, acute or chronic, illustrated by the latest research in neuroplasticity and modern learning theory.
Through a combination of learning activities, including mindfulness practice, workshop delegates will be exposed to advanced skills and learn how to apply these as part of their own work.
The workshop will include a video demonstration of the full clinical delivery of the 4-stage model as a crisis intervention and relapse-prevention method with a 10 year-old client diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder. It will help clarify common clinicians’ difficulties with their clients' (and perhaps their own) practice of mindfulness.
It is assumed that participants have an existing knowledge and practice of mindfulness. - PD Points: 7 specialist points for members of the APS colleges of Clinical, Counselling and Educational Psychologists, or 7 generalised points for non-college members.

October
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Part of the
29th AACBT National Conference Workshop Series
Sydney, Australia
- Date:Saturday 21st October
- Venue: Manly Pacific Hotel, Sydney, Australia
- Level: Beginner to intermediate, no experience of mindfulness assumed.
- Length: Half-day (9.00am - 12.30pm)
- Facilitator: Bruno Cayoun
- Workshop Objectives: Mindfulness is a mental state that requires deliberate and continual attention to one’s experience in the present moment with a non-judgmental attitude. The mindful observer appraises an emerging experience as a transient and impersonal phenomenon with an accepting stance. Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MCBT (MiCBT)) integrates the core components of CBT techniques with mindfulness training, as understood and applied in the most ancient Theravada teaching. The four-stage model of MCBT (MiCBT) puts into operation the recent developments in information-processing research, such as Neural Networks Theory (McClelland et al., 1986) and Teasdale and Barnard’s (1993) Interactive Cognitive Subsystems approach. The applied model will be explained from its neuro-phenomenological basis and illustrated with latest research in brain activity and neuroplasticity. The particularity of this approach is its applicability to a wide range of disorders, acute or chronic, and its utility as a crisis intervention. The aim of the workshop is to demonstrate effective skills to facilitate the treatment of chronic conditions and clients with personality disorders with a particular focus on the experience of the principles of mindfulness meditation and their sophisticated integration with CBT skills
- PD Points: 4 specialist points for members of the APS colleges of Clinical, Counselling and Health Psychologists, or 4 generalised points for non-college members.
