Granholm- CBSST Practical Syllabus 1
Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training
Eric Granholm, Ph.D. UCSD Department of Psychiatry
Workshop Overview
Cognitive Behavioral Social Skills Training (CBSST) is a psychosocial rehabilitation intervention for consumers with schizophrenia or other forms of serious mental illness. In CBSST, consumers set very specific recovery goals related to living, learning, working, and socializing in their community of choice, and then learn cognitive, communication, and problem-solving skills to help them achieve these goals. CBSST can be delivered as a group therapy, individual therapy, or in the context of case management (e.g., assertive community treatment). This is a practical workshop that will provide a basic overview of the evidence-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and social skills training (SST) interventions used in CBSST. The primary goal of this workshop is to provide novice to intermediate providers with a knowledge foundation and practical guidance on delivering CBSST.
Overview: Setting Recovery Goals Thought Challenging: The 3C’s: Catch It, Check It, Change It Communication Training: Expressing positive and negative feelings
Learning Objectives
1. Develop a basic understanding of CBT and SST principles and methods for SMI. 2. Choose CBSST treatment techniques to meet the unique needs of different consumers. 3. Develop a working practical knowledge of how to deliver the cognitive interventions (e.g., 3C’s) and role play communication training interventions used in CBSST.

Communication Skills
Throughout these classes, you will be learning how to communicate your needs, problems, desires and feelings. Good communication skills are very important to achieving your goals. Good communication involves the following:
Eye Contact Look in the eyes but don’t stare.
Posture Stand and sit up straight. Look relaxed, but upright.
Body Movements/Gestures Use appropriate body movements and gestures when talking. Gestures refer to movements of the hands or body that often emphasize what is being said verbally.
Facial Expressions Facial expressions should be in tune with the topic at hand. Occasional smiling and head nods when listening are important.
Voice Volume Voice volume should be pleasant, not too loud or soft, and the pitch of your voice should go up and down naturally. Avoid speaking in a monotone.
Short and Sweet Make sure sentences make sense and stick to the topic. Be specific, but brief, in stating what you want to say. Use “I” statements.
Energy Level Overall energy level should show enthusiasm when appropriate and you should show interest in the topic being discussed.
