Canada's most comprehensive continuing education training in orthodox (i.e., conventional) CBT is sponsored by the University of Toronto's Department of Psychiatry and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). The University of Toronto offers Canada's oldest CBT Certificate Program, directed by Dr. Greg Dubord.

     Certification requires the successful completion of three courses, and passing grades on a written examination and a psychotherapy tape evaluation.

     Note:  These courses are designed for full-time psychotherapists. Family physicians are advised to enroll in medical CBT courses, which are designed around their practice realities.

Advanced CBT Institute

The Wisdom of the Seasoned Therapist 

Founded by Greg Dubord, MD in 1999, the ACBTI provides practitioners with advanced skills training in orthodox cognitive behavior therapy. ACBTI topics include treatment resistance, working with meta-cognition, transference issues, emotion-focused interventions, and Eastern psychology integration (e.g., mindfulness practice).

     Research on the real-world effectiveness of the ACBTI was published in the October 2004 issue of the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry (Vol 49, No 10). Reassuringly, ACBTI participants do indeed become better therapists, according to independent standardized measures. But more importantly, the patients of ACBTI trainees get better faster.

     This year's ACBTI (April 23-25, 2015) is SOLD OUT. The next ACBTI will be held May 26-28, 2016. Applicants must have completed both L1 and L2. For further information and to register, please click here.
