This paper describes a basic training course in cognitive therapy for trainee psychiatrists on the Sheffield rotational scheme. Cognitive therapy, as represented by the work of Beck and Ellis, has emerged over the past decade as a potent therapeutic tool, particularly in the treatment of depression. It is a structured, directive, short-term therapy aimed at eliciting and modifying the dysfunctional cognitions which are hypothesised to play a central role in initiating and maintaining emotional disorders.
