Despite the popularity of CBT, and the fact that it takes on average eight years to become accredited, there is a lack of clear, consistent career guidance. This can lead to confusion and misguided choices, adding years to the journey or causing people to feel stuck. Tackling this information shortage, The CBT Career Guide offers an overview of the various pathways and specific requirements regarding courses of study, and the relevant clinical experience needed to enter training.
Following an introduction, the book is organized into three sections. Section 1 (‘Attract’) takes a broad look at the pathways to and requirements for becoming a CBT therapist. Section 2 (‘Retain’) offers advice on preparing for training and interviews, including how to craft applications to increase the chances of selection. Finally, Section 3 (‘Develop’) considers the career pathways that are available once accredited as a CBT therapist.
