Overview
About the program
The DPhil in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at the University of Oxford should focus on a primary research topic relevant to the theory, principles and practice of interventions, including both group and individual treatments, third wave approaches, self-help based approaches and supervision.
You will be strongly encouraged to participate in relevant seminars and/or tutorials held within OCTC and when necessary, informal meetings with staff and other researchers. The major commitment of time will be to individual study and research.
Programme Structure
The chosen topic of a DPhil in CBT should have a significant focus on issues related to cognitive behavioural theory and/or practice, for example:
- the development of a better understanding of the cognitive and behavioural aspects of a problem
- developing an aspect of CBT to address a particular disorder
- exploring theoretical or methodological issues in relation to cognitive behavioural practice
