Addressing antisocial patterns is no longer just an “add-on” area of practice. For example, among the general populations in many countries, justice-involvement has become as prevalent as common mental health disorders. Successful intervention with this client group requires a focus on a set of specific risk domains that facilitate criminal/antisocial behaviour (beyond mental health symptoms), as well as an alternative constellation of criminogenic thinking patterns that drive criminal and self-destructive behaviours.Provided that all requirements are met, including 100% attendance and successful completion of an online assessment the Certificate of Attendance for A Forensic CBT Primer: Identifying and Restructuring Criminogenic Thinking will be awarded at the conclusion of the course. The assessment of the content of the course must be undertaken to enable the awarding of OPD points.
