Background of research courses available from BPTI
There are two courses which are being used for research purposes at this time. One is the Ethics for the Counseling Professions course. The overarching objective of this course is to acquaint counselors with ethical values which undergird the counseling professions in general. Also, to acquaint counselors with the practice of ethical decision-making so that counselors can use a harms and benefits analysis with value conflict situations in practice. More about the “Ethics. . .” course content can be found here.
The other course which is being used in research at this time (2022) is the Essential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders course, which is being used in two studies, further described below. The overarching objective of the Essential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders clinical course is for trainees to develop confidence in and motivation to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in their practices. The 2022 Essential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders course will be given online and has received good reviews from those who have taken it. If you wish to take the Essential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders course for free and participate in a research study, the only requirement is that you agree that your de-identified information (completed surveys) can be used for research. During the “Essential . .” course you will be expected to complete two 10 – 15 minute evaluations concerning your practice, and evaluate the training information and quality. There is and will be no penalty for non-participation. Your responses will remain confidential. If you decide not to participate at this time, you can re-register for the training at a later time.
