Thinking Skills
Course rationale
Cognitive behavioural theory affirms the importance
of thinking as an important factor in determining an individuals
behaviour. This 2 day event looks at how practitioners can target
an individuals thinking in order to promote more pro-social behaviours.
Course Design
This event covers key underpinning theoretical principles
in working with cognition. It then goes on to provide a range of
potential interventions strategies aimed at either heightening
awareness of existing dysfunctional thinking patterns, and how
these might be addressed. Examples used come particularly from
work with offending behaviour populations.
Course Applicability
To all staff working with problematic behaviours
that are influenced by dysfunctional thinking. Might include staff
from a range of criminal justice settings as well as those from
forensic mental health settings.

Please note that work with thinking
skills is also incorporated across a range of our programmised
interventions focused on such areas as problematic substance
misuse (ASRO), working with difficulties around alcohol and
violence (COVAID), and generic problem solving interventions
(Think First). We also provide training on semi-structured
problem solving interventions (Stop and Think) that also allow
for development work in the arena of thinking skills. Please
follow links for further information.
