This includes an overview of specific cognitive and behavioral techniques, as well as their application for various disorders that have been empirically researched. The CBT SIG will also help interested LACPA members develop their skills in using CBT to facilitate their patient’s care. Furthermore, the aim of the CBT SIG is to provide LACPA members with additional resources that will be of benefit in improving the quality of life for patients and families.
