Track: Cognitive and Behavioural Science

Cognitive Mechanisms in Mental
Health Disorders:
- Understanding how cognitive distortions contribute
to anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD).
- Exploring the impact of executive function
deficits on disorders such as ADHD, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
- Cognitive impacts of trauma and their role in
conditions like PTSD and dissociative disorders.
Behavioral
Science in Psychiatry:
- Behavioral patterns associated with addiction,
phobias, and eating disorders.
- Operant conditioning, habit formation, and how
they shape maladaptive behaviors.
- Strategies for modifying behaviors in clinical
settings, using reinforcement and behavioral activation techniques.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
(CBT) and Beyond:
- Innovations in CBT, including third-wave therapies
such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior
Therapy (DBT).
- The role of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in
enhancing emotional regulation and resilience.
- Case studies showcasing CBT’s application in
treating panic disorder, depression, and social anxiety.
Cognitive and Behavioral
Approaches to Resilience and Coping:
- Investigating cognitive strategies that enhance
resilience in the face of stress and adversity.
- Behavioral interventions for building adaptive
coping mechanisms in individuals with chronic mental health conditions.
- Cognitive-behavioral approaches to managing
stress, burnout, and work-related mental health challenges.
Digital Innovations in Cognitive
and Behavioral Science:
- The role of digital CBT platforms, mobile health
(mHealth) applications, and AI-driven tools in delivering
cognitive-behavioral interventions.
- The impact of virtual reality (VR) and augmented
reality (AR) on behavioral exposure therapy.
- Ethical considerations and efficacy of telehealth
in cognitive and behavioral treatment.
Cognitive and Behavioral Science
in Special Populations:
- Adapting cognitive-behavioral approaches for
children, adolescents, older adults, and neurodivergent individuals.
- Addressing cultural variations in cognitive and
behavioral frameworks to ensure inclusivity and effectiveness.
- Tailoring interventions for individuals with
intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and cognitive
impairments.
Learning Outcomes:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of how cognitive
and behavioral processes influence mental health and psychiatric
disorders.
- Explore cutting-edge research on cognitive and
behavioral interventions in clinical settings.
- Understand the neural correlates of cognitive
functions and their relevance to behavior and therapy.
- Learn about digital innovations and their role in
delivering cognitive-behavioral interventions remotely.
- Discuss strategies for enhancing resilience,
emotional regulation, and behavioral adaptation in diverse populations.
